Inequalities of invariants on Stanley–Reisner rings of Cohen–Macaulay simplicial complexes

Isoperimetric inequalities in simplicial complexes

In graph theory there are intimate connections between the expansion properties of a graph and the spectrum of its Laplacian. In this paper we define a notion of combinatorial expansion for simplicial complexes of general dimension, and prove that similar connections exist between the combinatorial expansion of a complex, and the spectrum of the high dimensional Laplacian defined by Eckmann. In...

Face rings of simplicial complexes with singularities

The face ring of a simplicial complex modulo m generic linear forms is shown to have finite local cohomology if and only if the link of every face of dimension m or more is nonsingular, i.e., has the homology of a wedge of spheres of the expected dimension. This is derived from an enumerative result for local cohomology of face rings modulo generic linear forms, as compared with local cohomolog...

On isomorphism of simplicial complexes and their related rings

In this paper, we provide a simple proof for the fact that two simplicial complexes are isomorphic if and only if their associated Stanley-Reisner rings, or their associated facet rings are isomorphic as K-algebras. As a consequence, we show that two graphs are isomorphic if and only if their associated edge rings are isomorphic as K-algebras. Based on an explicit K-algebra isomorphism of two S...

Flows on Simplicial Complexes

Given a graph G, the number of nowhere-zero Zq-flows φG(q) is known to be a polynomial in q. We extend the definition of nowhere-zero Zq-flows to simplicial complexes ∆ of dimension greater than one, and prove the polynomiality of the corresponding function φ∆(q) for certain q and certain subclasses of simplicial complexes. Résumé. Et́ant donné une graphe G, on est connu que le nombre de Zq-flot...
