The question of shellability of complexes of directed trees was asked by R. Stanley. D. Kozlov showed that the existence of a complete source in a directed graph provides a shelling of its complex of directed trees. We will show that this…

We study the class of independence complexes of claw-free graphs. The main theorem give good bounds on the connectivity of these complexes, given bounds for a few subcomplexes of the same class. Two applications are presented. Firstly, we…

Let $D$ be a multidigraph. We study the simplicial complex $\mathrm{Dlf}(D)$, whose vertices are the directed edges of $D$ and whose faces correspond to directed linear forests, that is, vertex-disjoint unions of directed paths. We also…

The bounded degree complex $BD(G,\lambda)$ is a generalization of the matching complexes of a graph. In this paper, we show that the bounded degree complex of a forest is shellable, by using independence complexes of hypergraphs. We obtain…

The neighborhood complex of a graph was introduced by Lov\'asz to provide topological lower bounds on chromatic number. More general homomorphism complexes of graphs were further studied by Babson and Kozlov. Such `Hom complexes' are also…

We study the independence complexes of families of well-covered circulant graphs discovered by Boros-Gurvich-Milani\v{c}, Brown-Hoshino, and Moussi. Because these graphs are well-covered, their independence complexes are pure simplicial…

We exhibit an identity of abstract simplicial complexes between the well-studied complex of trees and the reduced minimal nested set complex of the partition lattice. We conclude that the order complex of the partition lattice can be…

Independence complexes of circle graphs are purely combinatorial objects. However, when constructed from some diagram of a link $L$, they reveal topological properties of $L$, more specifically, of its Khovanov homology. We analyze the…

We generalize some homotopy calculation techniques such as splittings and matching trees that are introduced for the computations in the case of the independence complexes of graphs to arbitrary simplicial complexes, and exemplify their…

This paper starts with an observation that two infinite series of simplicial complexes, which a priori do not seem to have anything to do with each other, have the same homotopy type. One series consists of the complexes of directed forests…

We prove that every oriented tree on $n$ vertices with bounded maximum degree appears as a spanning subdigraph of every directed graph on $n$ vertices with minimum semidegree at least $n/2+o(n)$. This can be seen as a directed graph…

This paper investigates the shellability of $r$-independence complexes $\mathcal{I}_r(G)$, a generalization of classical independence complexes introduced by Paolini and Salvetti. For a graph $G$, a subset $A \subseteq V(G)$ is…

In this article, we introduce the notion of a wedge of graphs and provide detailed computations for the independence complex of a wedge of path and cycle graphs. In particular, we show that these complexes are either contractible or wedges…

We prove that the inclusion from oriented graph complex into graph complex with at least one source is a quasi-isomorphism, showing that homology of the "sourced" graph complex is also equal to the homology of standard Kontsevich's graph…

In their work on `Coxeter-like complexes', Babson and Reiner introduced a simplicial complex $\Delta_T$ associated to each tree $T$ on $n$ nodes, generalizing chessboard complexes and type A Coxeter complexes. They conjectured that…

It was proven by Gonz\'alez-Meneses, Manch\'on and Silvero that the extreme Khovanov homology of a link diagram is isomorphic to the reduced (co)homology of the independence simplicial complex obtained from a bipartite circle graph…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of the independence graph of a directed 2-complex. We show that the class of diagram groups is closed under graph products over independence graphs of rooted 2-trees. This allows us to show that a…

Every projective module is flat. Conversely, every flat module is a direct limit of finitely generated free modules; this was proved independently by Govorov and Lazard in the 1960s. In this paper we prove an analogous result for complexes…

Let $G$ be a graph and $r \ge 1$. A vertex subset is $r$-independent if every connected component of its induced subgraph has size at most $r$. The family of all such subsets forms a simplicial complex, the $r$-independence complex…

We develop a limit theory for $1$-cochains of complete graphs with coefficients from a finite abelian group. We prove an analogue of the large deviation principle of Chatterjee and Varadhan for random cochains. We use these new tools to…
