In this paper we show that a $k$-shellable simplicial complex is the expansion of a shellable complex. We prove that the face ring of a pure $k$-shellable simplicial complex satisfies the Stanley conjecture. In this way, by applying an expansion functor to the face ring of a given pure shellable complex, we construct a large class of rings satisfying the Stanley conjecture.Also, by presenting some characterizations of $k$-shellable graphs, we extend some results due to Castrillón-Cruz, Cruz-Estrada and Van Tuyl-Villareal.

We investigate the face numbers of simplicial complexes with Buchsbaum vertex links, especially pseudomanifolds with isolated singularities. This includes deriving Dehn-Sommerville relations for pseudomanifolds with isolated singularities and establishing lower and upper bound theorems when the singularities are also homologically isolated. We give formulas for the Hilbert function of a generic Artinian reduction of the face ring when the singularities are homologically isolated and for any pure two-dimensional complex. Some examples of spaces where the $f$-vector can be completely characterized are described. We also show that the Hilbert function of a generic Artinian reduction of the face ring of a simplicial complex $\Delta$ with isolated singularities minus the $h$-vector of $\Delta$ is a PL-topological invariant.

AbstractIn this paper, some algebraic and combinatorial characterizations of the spanning simplicial complex Δs(𝓙n,m) of the Jahangir’s graph 𝓙n,m are explored. We show that Δs(𝓙n,m) is pure, present the formula for f-vectors associated to it and hence deduce a recipe for computing the Hilbert series of the Face ring k[Δs(𝓙n,m)]. Finally, we show that the face ring of Δs(𝓙n,m) is Cohen-Macaulay and give some open scopes of the current work.

For any flag simplicial complex $\Theta$ obtained by stellar subdividing the boundary of the cross polytope in edges, we define a flag simplicial complex $\Delta(\Theta)$ whose $f$-vector is the $\gamma$-vector of $\Theta$. This proves that the $\gamma$-vector of any such simplicial complex is the face vector of a flag simplicial complex, partially solving a conjecture by Nevo and Petersen. As a corollary we obtain that such simplicial complexes satisfy the Frankl-Füredi-Kalai inequalities.

Let R R be the face ring of a simplicial complex of dimension d − 1 d-1 and R ( n ) {\mathcal R}({\mathfrak {n}}) be the Rees algebra of the maximal homogeneous ideal n {\mathfrak {n}} of R . R. We show that the generalized Hilbert-Kunz function H K ( s ) = ℓ ( R ( n ) / ( n , n t ) [ s ] ) HK(s)=\ell ({\mathcal {R}}({\mathfrak {n}})/({\mathfrak {n}}, {\mathfrak {n}} t)^{[s]}) is given by a polynomial for all large s . s. We calculate it in many examples and also provide a Macaulay2 code for computing H K ( s ) . HK(s).

In this paper, we study the regularity and the projective dimension of the Stanley–Reisner ring of a [Formula: see text]-decomposable simplicial complex and explain these invariants with a recursive formula. To this aim, the graded Betti numbers of decomposable monomial ideals which is the dual concept for [Formula: see text]-decomposable simplicial complexes are studied and an inductive formula for the Betti numbers is given. As a corollary, for a shellable simplicial complex [Formula: see text], a formula for the regularity of the Stanley–Reisner ring of [Formula: see text] is presented. Finally, for a chordal clutter [Formula: see text], an upper bound for [Formula: see text] is given in terms of the regularities of edge ideals of some chordal clutters which are minors of [Formula: see text].

AbstractWe show that under certain mild conditions, a metric simplicial complex which satisfies the Ptolemy inequality is a CAT(0) space. Ptolemy's inequality is closely related to inversions of metric spaces. For a large class of metric simplicial complexes, we characterize those which are isometric to Euclidean space in terms of metric inversions.

Abstract.The multiplicity conjecture of Herzog, Huneke, and Srinivasan is verified for the face rings of the following classes of simplicial complexes: matroid complexes, complexes of dimension one and two, and Gorenstein complexes of dimension at most four. The lower bound part of this conjecture is also established for the face rings of all doubly Cohen–Macaulay complexes whose 1-skeleton's connectivity does not exceed the codimension plus one as well as for all (d−1)-dimensional d-Cohen– Macaulay complexes. The main ingredient of the proofs is a new interpretation of the minimal shifts in the resolution of the face ring via the Cohen–Macaulay connectivity of the skeletons of .

Björner and Wachs generalized the definition of shellability by dropping the assumption of purity; they also introduced the $h$-triangle, a doubly-indexed generalization of the $h$-vector which is combinatorially significant for nonpure shellable complexes. Stanley subsequently defined a nonpure simplicial complex to be sequentially Cohen-Macaulay if it satisfies algebraic conditions that generalize the Cohen-Macaulay conditions for pure complexes, so that a nonpure shellable complex is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay. We show that algebraic shifting preserves the $h$-triangle of a simplicial complex $K$ if and only if $K$ is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay. This generalizes a result of Kalai's for the pure case. Immediate consequences include that nonpure shellable complexes and sequentially Cohen-Macaulay complexes have the same set of possible $h$-triangles.
