The number of nonisomorphic simplicial complexes with up to $n$ vertices increases super-exponentially with $n$, which makes exhaustive computation of invariants associated with such complexes a daunting task. In this paper we provide a…

For $d \geq 2$ and $G$ a finite abelian group, define $T_d(G)$ to be the minimum number of vertices $n$ so that there exists a simplicial complex $X$ on $n$ vertices which has the torsion part of $H_{d - 1}(X)$ isomorphic to $G$. Here we…

Given $d\in\mathbb{N}$, let $\alpha(d)$ be the largest real number such that every abstract simplicial complex $\mathcal{S}$ with $0<\vert\mathcal{S}\vert\leq\alpha(d)\vert V(\mathcal{S})\vert$ has a vertex of degree at most $d$. We extend…

We establish an upper bound on the cardinality of a minimal generating set for the fundamental group of a large family of connected, balanced simplicial complexes and, more generally, simplicial posets.

A simplicial complex $H$ consists of a pair of sets $(V,E)$ where $V$ is a set of vertices and $E\subseteq\mathscr{P}(V)$ is a collection of subsets of $V$ closed under taking subsets. Given a simplicial complex $F$ and $n\in \mathbb N$,…

For a given pair of numbers $(d,k)$, we establish the minimal number of vertices in pure $d$-dimensional simplicial complexes with non-trivial homology in dimension $k$. Furthermore, we solve the problem under the additional constraint of…

For $n \in \mathbb{N}$, let $h(n)$ denote the number of simplicial complexes on $n$ vertices up to homotopy equivalence. Here we prove that $h(n) \geq 2^{2^{0.02n}}$ when $n$ is large enough. Together with the trivial upper bound of…

In this paper we prove a new asymptotic lower bound for the minimal number of simplices in simplicial dissections of $n$-dimensional cubes. In particular we show that the number of simplices in dissections of $n$-cubes without additional…

An abstract simplicial complex $\mathbf{F}$ is a non-uniform hypergraph without isolated vertices, whose edge set is closed under taking subsets. The extremal number $\mathrm{ex}(n,\mathbf{F})$ is the maximum number of edges in an…

The 2-girth of a 2-dimensional simplicial complex $X$ is the minimum size of a non-zero 2-cycle in $H_2(X, \mathbb{Z}/2)$. We consider the maximum possible girth of a complex with $n$ vertices and $m$ 2-faces. If $m = n^{2 + \alpha}$ for…

We determine the minimum number of vertices needed to provide balanced triangulations of $\mathbb S^{d-2}$-bundles over $\mathbb S^1$. If $d$ is odd and the bundle is orientable, or $d$ is even and the bundle is non-orientable, the minimum…

We determine which simplicial complexes have the maximum or minimum sum of Betti numbers and sum of bigraded Betti numbers with a given number of vertices in each dimension.

This paper studies the minimal number of vertices $\lambda(n,d)$ required in a triangulation of the $n$-sphere to admit a simplicial map to the boundary of a $(n+1)$-simplex with a given degree $d$. We establish upper bounds for…

We study lower bounds for the number of vertices in a PL-triangulation of a given manifold $M$. While most of the previous estimates are based on the dimension and the connectivity of $M$, we show that further information can be extracted…

Maxwell introduced a necessary minimum number of edges in terms of the number of vertices required for a graph to yield a Euclidean rigid generic framework in $\mathbb{R}^3$, this count was generalised to $\mathbb{R}^d$, for all $d\geq 1$.…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices and $(H,+)$ be an abelian group. What is the minimum size ${\sf S}_H(G)$ of the set of all sums $A(u)+A(v)$ over all injections $A:V(G)\to H$? In 2012, the first author, Angel, the second author, and…

All nonabelian finite simple groups of rank $n$ over a field of size $q$, with the possible exception of the Ree groups $^2G_2(3^{2e+1})$, have presentations with at most $80 $ relations and bit-length $O(\log n +\log q)$. Moreover, $A_n$…

Let $G$ be the symmetric group of degree $n$. Let $\omega(G)$ be the maximal size of a subset $S$ of $G$ such that $\langle x,y \rangle = G$ whenever $x,y \in S$ and $x \neq y$ and let $\sigma(G)$ be the minimal size of a family of proper…

A subset of vertices in a graph $G$ is considered a maximal dissociation set if it induces a subgraph with vertex degree at most 1 and it is not contained within any other dissociation sets. In this paper, it is shown that for $n\geq 3$,…

We study the problem of maximizing Betti numbers of simplicial complexes. We prove an upper bound of 1.32^n for the sum of Betti numbers of any n-vertex flag complex and 1.25^n for the independence complex of a triangle-free graph. These…
