Shellability of Exponential Structures

چکیده

We show that the poset of aB partitions of an nd-set with block size divisible by d is shellable. Using similar techniques, it also follows that various other examples of exponential structures cited by Stanley are also shellable. The method used involves the notion of recursive atom orderings introduced by Bjorner and Wachs. AMS (MOS) subject classifications (1984). Primary: 06AlO; secondary: 05A17.

On the Bruhat Order of the Symmetric Group and Its Shellability

In this paper we discuss the Bruhat order of the symmetric group. We give two criteria for comparing elements in this poset and show that the poset is Eulerian. We also discuss the notion of shellability and EL-shellability, and use this concept to show that the order complex associated to the Bruhat order triangulates a sphere.

Shellability of Noncrossing Partition Lattices

We give a case-free proof that the lattice of noncrossing partitions associated to any finite real reflection group is EL-shellable. Shellability of these lattices was open for the groups of type Dn and those of exceptional type and rank at least three.

A note on shellability and acyclic orientations

In this short note we discuss the shellability of (nonpure) simplicial complexes in terms of acyclic orientations of the facet-ridge incidence graphs, which shows that we can decide shellability only from the facet-ridge incidences and the total number of faces the simplicial complex contains. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Vertex Decomposable Graphs and Obstructions to Shellability

Inspired by several recent papers on the edge ideal of a graph G, we study the equivalent notion of the independence complex of G. Using the tool of vertex decomposability from geometric combinatorics, we show that 5-chordal graphs with no chordless 4-cycles are shellable and sequentially Cohen-Macaulay. We use this result to characterize the obstructions to shellability in flag complexes, exte...

Obstructions to Shellability

We consider a simplicial complex generaliztion of a result of Billera and Meyers that every nonshellable poset contains the smallest nonshellable poset as an induced subposet. We prove that every nonshellable 2-dimensional simplicial complex contains a nonshellable induced subcomplex with less than 8 vertices. We also establish CL-shellability of interval orders and as a consequence obtain a fo...
