Algebraic shifting increases relative homology
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that algebraically shifting a pair of simplicial complexes weakly increases their relative homology Betti numbers in every dimension. More precisely, let ∆(K) denote the algebraically shifted complex of simplicial complex K, and let β j (K, L) = dim k H j (K, L; k) be the dimension of the jth reduced relative homology group over a field k of a pair of simplicial complexes L ⊆ K. Then β j (K, L) ≤ β j (∆(K), ∆(L)) for all j. The theorem is motivated by somewhat similar results about Gröbner bases and generic initial ideals. Parts of the proof use Gröbner basis techniques.

Algebraic shifting of cyclic polytopes and stacked polytopes
Gil Kalai introduced the shifting-theoretic upper bound relation to characterize the f -vectors of Gorenstein* complexes (or homology spheres) by using algebraic shifting. In the present paper, we study the shifting-theoretic upper bound relation. First, we will study the relation between exterior algebraic shifting and combinatorial shifting. Second, by using the relation above, we will prove ...
متن کاملAlgebraic shifting and strongly edge decomposable complexes
Let Γ be a simplicial complex with n vertices, and let ∆(Γ) be either its exterior algebraic shifted complex or its symmetric algebraic shifted complex. If Γ is a simplicial sphere, then it is known that (a) ∆(Γ) is pure and (b) h-vector of Γ is symmetric. Kalai and Sarkaria conjectured that if Γ is a simplicial sphere then its algebraic shifting also satisfies (c) ∆(Γ) ⊂ ∆(C(n, d)), where C(n,...
متن کاملExact sequences of extended $d$-homology
In this article, we show the existence of certain exact sequences with respect to two homology theories, called d-homology and extended d-homology. We present sufficient conditions for the existence of long exact extended d- homology sequence. Also we give some illustrative examples.
متن کاملBetti numbers of strongly color-stable ideals and squarefree strongly color-stable ideals
In this paper, we will show that the color-squarefree operation does not change the graded Betti numbers of strongly color-stable ideals. In addition, we will give an example of a nonpure balanced complex which shows that colored algebraic shifting, which was introduced by Babson and Novik, does not always preserve the dimension of reduced homology groups of balanced simplicial complexes.
متن کاملSe p 20 07 Algebraic Shifting and f - Vector Theory Thesis submitted
This manuscript focusses on algebraic shifting and its applications to f -vector theory of simplicial complexes and more general graded posets. It includes attempts to use algebraic shifting for solving the g-conjecture for simplicial spheres, which is considered by many as the main open problem in f -vector theory. While this goal has not been achieved, related results of independent interest ...
