چکیده
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.

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.
متن کاملSOLVABILITY OF FREE PRODUCTS, CAYLEY GRAPHS AND COMPLEXES
In this paper, we verify the solvability of free product of finite cyclic groups with topological methods. We use Cayley graphs and Everitt methods to construct suitable 2-complexes corresponding to the presentations of groups and their commutator subgroups. In particular, using these methods, we prove that the commutator subgroup of $mathbb{Z}_{m}*mathbb{Z}_{n}$ is free of rank $(m-1)(n-1)$ fo...
متن کاملVertex 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 ...
متن کاملSpectral Sequences on Combinatorial Simplicial Complexes
The goal of this paper is twofold. First, we give an elementary introduction to the usage of spectral sequences in the combinatorial setting. Second we list a number of applications. In the first group of applications the simplicial complex is the nerve of a poset; we consider general posets and lattices, as well as partition-type posets. Our last application is of a different nature: the Sn-qu...
متن کاملf-vectors and h-vectors of simplicial posets
Stanely, R.P., f-vectors and h-vectors of simplicial posets, Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra 71 (1991) 319-331. A simplicial poset is a (finite) poset P with d such that every interval [6, x] is a boolean algebra. Simplicial posets are generalizations of simplicial complexes. The f-vector f(P) = (f,, f,, , ,f_,) of a simplicial poset P of rank d is defined by f; = #{x E P: [6, x] g B,, I}, ...
