Vertex Decomposable Simplicial Complexes Associated to Path Graphs

Introduction Vertex decomposability of a simplicial complex is a combinatorial topological concept which is related to the algebraic properties of the Stanley-Reisner ring of the simplicial complex. This notion was first defined by Provan and Billera in 1980 for k-decomposable pure complexes which is known as vertex decomposable when . Later Bjorner and Wachs extended this concept to non-pure ...

Cohen-Macaulay-ness in codimension for simplicial complexes and expansion functor

In this paper we show that expansion of a Buchsbaum simplicial complex is $CM_t$, for an optimal integer $tgeq 1$. Also, by imposing extra assumptions on a $CM_t$ simplicial complex, we provethat it can be obtained from a Buchsbaum complex.

Balanced Vertex Decomposable Simplicial Complexes and their h-vectors

Given any finite simplicial complex ∆, we show how to construct from a colouring χ of ∆ a new simplicial complex ∆χ that is balanced and vertex decomposable. In addition, the h-vector of ∆χ is precisely the f -vector of ∆. Our construction generalizes the “whiskering” construction of Villarreal, and Cook and Nagel. We also reverse this construction to prove a special case of a conjecture of Coo...

New methods for constructing shellable simplicial complexes

A clutter $mathcal{C}$ with vertex set $[n]$ is an antichain of subsets of $[n]$, called circuits, covering all vertices. The clutter is $d$-uniform if all of its circuits have the same cardinality $d$. If $mathbb{K}$ is a field, then there is a one-to-one correspondence between clutters on $V$ and square-free monomial ideals in $mathbb{K}[x_1,ldots,x_n]$ as follows: To each clutter $mathcal{C}...
