Ehrenborg, Govindaiah, Park, and Readdy recently introduced the van der Waerden complex, a pure simplicial complex whose facets correspond to arithmetic progressions. Using techniques from combinatorial commutative algebra, we classify when these pure simplicial complexes are vertex decomposable or not Cohen-Macaulay. As a corollary, we classify the van der Waerden complexes that are shellable.

The Ideal

Let $I\subset K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be  a zero-dimensional monomial ideal, and $\Delta(I)$ be the simplicial complex whose Stanley--Reisner ideal is the polarization of $I$. It follows from a result of Soleyman Jahan that $\Delta(I)$ is shellable. We give a new short proof of this fact by providing an explicit shelling. Moreover, we show that  $\Delta(I)$ is even vertex decomposable. The ideal $L(I)$, which is defined to be the Stanley--Reisner ideal of the Alexander dual of $\Delta(I)$, has a linear resolution which is cellular and supported on a regular CW-complex. All powers of $L(I)$ have a linear resolution. We compute $\mathrm{depth}\ L(I)^k$ and show that $\mathrm{depth}\ L(I)^k=n$ for all $k\geq n$.

Cyclic Sieving

We exhibit a canonical connection between maximal $(0,1)$-fillings of a moon polyomino avoiding north-east chains of a given length and reduced pipe dreams of a certain permutation. Following this approach we  show that the simplicial complex of such maximal fillings is a vertex-decomposable, and thus shellable, sphere. In particular, this implies a positivity result for Schubert polynomials. Moreover, for Ferrers shapes we construct a bijection to maximal fillings avoiding south-east chains of the same length which specializes to a bijection between $k$-triangulations of the $n$-gon and $k$-fans of Dyck paths of length $2(n-2k)$. Using this, we translate a conjectured cyclic sieving phenomenon for $k$-triangulations with rotation to the language of $k$-flagged tableaux with promotion.

In this paper, we study the notion of chordality and cycles in clutters from a commutative algebraic point of view. The corresponding concept of chordality in commutative algebra is having a linear resolution. We mainly consider the generalization of chordality proposed by Bigdeli et al. in 2017 and the concept of cycles introduced by Cannon and Faridi in 2013, and study their interrelations and algebraic interpretations. In particular, we investigate the relationship between chordality and having linear quotients in some classes of clutters. Also, we show that if [Formula: see text] is a clutter such that 〈[Formula: see text]〉 is a vertex decomposable simplicial complex or I([Formula: see text]) is squarefree stable, then [Formula: see text] is chordal.

Special Case

Given any finite simplicial complex $\Delta$, we show how to construct from a colouring $\chi$ of $\Delta$ a new simplicial complex $\Delta_{\chi}$ that is balanced and vertex decomposable. In addition, the $h$-vector of $\Delta_{\chi}$ is precisely the $f$-vector of $\Delta$.  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 Cook and Nagel, and Constantinescu and Varbaro on the $h$-vectors of flag complexes.

Algebraic Shifting

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.

We consider topological aspects of decision trees on simplicial complexes, concentrating on how to use decision trees as a tool in topological combinatorics. By Robin Forman's discrete Morse theory, the number of evasive faces of a given dimension $i$ with respect to a decision tree on a simplicial complex is greater than or equal to the $i$th reduced Betti number (over any field) of the complex. Under certain favorable circumstances, a simplicial complex admits an "optimal" decision tree such that equality holds for each $i$; we may hence read off the homology directly from the tree. We provide a recursive definition of the class of semi-nonevasive simplicial complexes with this property. A certain generalization turns out to yield the class of semi-collapsible simplicial complexes that admit an optimal discrete Morse function in the analogous sense. In addition, we develop some elementary theory about semi-nonevasive and semi-collapsible complexes. Finally, we provide explicit optimal decision trees for several well-known simplicial complexes.

New Framework

In this paper, we construct a new framework that’s we call the weighted [Formula: see text]-simplicial complex and we define its spectral gap. An upper bound for our spectral gap is given by generalizing the Cheeger constant. The lower bound for our spectral gap is obtained from the first nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplacian acting on the functions of certain weighted [Formula: see text]-simplicial complexes.

AbstractLet |K| be the metric polyhedron of a simplicial complex K. In this paper, we characterize a simplicial subdivision K′ of K preserving the metric topology for |K| as the one such that the set K′(0) of vertices of K′ is discrete in |K|. We also prove that two such subdivisions of K have such a common subdivision.

Many Body Interactions

Many real networks in biology, chemistry, industry, ecological systems, or social networks have an inherent structure of simplicial complexes reflecting many-body interactions. Over the past few decades, a variety of complex systems have been successfully described as networks whose links connect interacting pairs of nodes. Simplicial complexes capture the many-body interactions between two or more nodes and generalized network structures to allow us to go beyond the framework of pairwise interactions. Therefore, to analyze the topological and dynamic properties of simplicial complex networks, the closed trail metric is proposed here. In this article, we focus on the evolution of simplicial complex networks from clicks and k-CT graphs. This approach is used to describe the evolution of real simplicial complex networks. We conclude with a summary of composition k-CT graphs (glued graphs); their closed trail distances are in a specified range.

In this paper we introduce and develop the multi-parameter model of random simplicial complexes with randomness present in all dimensions. Various geometric and topological properties of such random simplicial complexes are characterised by convex domains in the high-dimensional parameter space (rather than by intervals, as in the usual one-parameter models). We find conditions under which a multi-parameter random simplicial complex is connected and simply connected. Besides, we give an intrinsic characterisation of the multi-parameter probability measure. We analyse links of simplexes and intersections of multi-parameter random simplicial complexes and show that they are also multi-parameter random simplicial complexes.
