On the minimal genus of 2-complexes

چکیده

Gross and Rosen asked if the genus of a 2-dimensional complex K embeddable in some (orientable) surface is equal to the genus of the graph of appropriate barycentric subdivision of K. We answer the nonorientable genus and the Euler genus versions of Gross and Rosen's question in affirmative. We show that this is not the case for the orientable genus by proving that taking blog2 gcth barycentric subdivision is not sufficient, where g is the genus of K. On the other hand, (1+dlog2(g+2)e)th subdivision is proved to be sufficient. c © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

On a special class of Stanley-Reisner ideals

For an $n$-gon with vertices at points $1,2,cdots,n$, the Betti numbers of its suspension, the simplicial complex that involves two more vertices $n+1$ and $n+2$, is known. In this paper, with a constructive and simple proof, wegeneralize this result to find the minimal free resolution and Betti numbers of the $S$-module $S/I$ where  $S=K[x_{1},cdots, x_{n}]$ and $I$ is the associated ideal to ...

Complexes of $C$-projective modules

Inspired by a recent work of Buchweitz and Flenner, we show that, for a semidualizing bimodule $C$, $C$--perfect complexes have the ability to detect when a ring is strongly regular.It is shown that there exists a class of modules which admit minimal resolutions of $C$--projective modules.

New methods for constructing shellable simplicial complexes

A clutter $mathcal{C}$ with vertex set $[n]$ is an antichain of subsets of $[n]$, called circuits, covering all vertices. The clutter is $d$-uniform if all of its circuits have the same cardinality $d$. If $mathbb{K}$ is a field, then there is a one-to-one correspondence between clutters on $V$ and square-free monomial ideals in $mathbb{K}[x_1,ldots,x_n]$ as follows: To each clutter $mathcal{C}...

Gorenstein Injective Dimensions and Cohen-Macaulayness

Let (R,m) be a commutative noetherian local ring. In this paper we investigate the existence of a finitely generated R-module of finite Gorenstein dimension when R is Cohen-Macaulay. We study the Gorenstein injective dimension of local cohomology of complexes and next we show that if R is a non-Artinian Cohen-Macaulay ring, which does not have the minimal multiplicity, then R has a finite gener...

Screening of Alginate Lyase-Producing Bacteria and Optimization of Media Compositions for Extracellular Alginate Lyase Production

Background: Alginate is a linear polysaccharide consisting of guluronate (polyG) and mannuronate (polyM) subunits. Methods: In the initial screening of alginate-degrading bacteria from soil, 10 isolates were able to grow on minimal medium containing alginate. The optimization of cell growth and alginate lyase (algL) production was carried out by the addition of 0.8% alginate and 0.2-0.3 M NaCl ...
