In this paper we study simplicial complexes as higher dimensional graphs in order to produce algebraic statements about their facet ideals. We introduce a large class of square-free monomial ideals with Cohen-Macaulay quotients, and a criterion for the Cohen-Macaulayness of facet ideals of simplicial trees. Along the way, we generalize several concepts from graph theory to simplicial complexes.

In this paper we use "ring changed'' Gorenstein homologicaldimensions to define Cohen-Macaulay injective, projective and flatdimensions. For doing this we use the amalgamated duplication of thebase ring with semi-dualizing ideals. Among other results, we prove that finiteness of these new dimensions characterizes Cohen-Macaulay rings with dualizing ideals.

The cut sets of a graph are special vertices whose removal disconnects the graph. They fundamental in study binomial edge ideals, since they encode their minimal primary decomposition. We introduce class accessible graphs as with unmixed ideal and form an set system. prove that is Cohen-Macaulay we conjecture converse holds. settle for large classes graphs, including chordal traceable providing...

We study properties of a poset generating a Cohen-Macaulay algebra with straightening laws (ASL for short). We show that if a poset P generates a Cohen-Macaulay ASL, then P is pure and, if P is moreover Buchsbaum, then P is Cohen-Macaulay. Some results concerning a Rees algebra of an ASL defined by a straightening closed ideal are also established. And it is shown that if P is a Cohen-Macaulay ...

Let S be a finite alphabet. An injective word over S is a word over S such that each letter in S appears at most once in the word. We study Boolean cell complexes of injective words over S and their commutation classes. This generalizes work by Farmer and by Björner and Wachs on the complex of all injective words. Specifically, for an abstract simplicial complex ∆, we consider the Boolean cell ...

A commutative local Cohen-Macaulay ring R of finite Cohen-Macaulay type is known to be an isolated singularity; that is, Spec(R) \ {m} is smooth. This paper proves a non-commutative analogue. Namely, if A is a (non-commutative) graded Artin-Schelter Cohen-Macaulay algebra which is FBN and has finite Cohen-Macaulay type, then the non-commutative projective scheme determined by A is smooth.
