Decomposition theorem for the cd-index of Gorenstein* posets
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove a decomposition theorem for the cd-index of a Gorenstein* poset analogous to the decomposition theorem for the intersection cohomology of a toric variety. From this we settle a conjecture of Stanley that the cd-index of Gorenstein* lattices is minimized on Boolean algebras.

The cd -index of fans and posets
The number of flags in a complete fan, or more generally in an Eulerian poset, is encoded in the cd-index. We prove the non-negativity of the cd-index for complete fans, regular CW -spheres and Gorenstein* posets.
متن کاملNon-negative cd-coefficients of Gorensteinast posets
We give a convolution formula for cd-index coefficients. The convolution formula, together with the proof by Davis and Okun of the CharneyDavis Conjecture in dimension 3, imply that certain cd-coefficients are nonnegative for all Gorenstein* posets. Additional coefficients are shown to be non-negative by interpreting them in terms of the top homology of certain Cohen-Macaulay complexes. In part...
متن کاملFlags and shellings of Eulerian cubical posets∗†
A cubical analogue of Stanley’s theorem expressing the cd-index of an Eulerian simplicial poset in terms of its h-vector is presented. This result implies that the cd-index conjecture for Gorenstein∗ cubical posets follows from Ron Adin’s conjecture on the non-negativity of his cubical h-vector for Cohen-Macaulay cubical posets. For cubical spheres the standard definition of shelling is shown t...
متن کاملTHE FLAG f-VECTORS OF GORENSTEIN* ORDER COMPLEXES OF DIMENSION 3
We characterize the cd-indices of Gorenstein* posets of rank 5, equivalently the flag f -vectors of Gorenstein* order complexes of dimension 3. As a corollary, we characterize the f -vectors of Gorenstein* order complexes in dimensions 3 and 4. This characterization rise a speculated intimate connection between the f -vectors of flag homology spheres and the f -vectors of Gorenstein* order comp...
متن کاملCOGENERATOR AND SUBDIRECTLY IRREDUCIBLE IN THE CATEGORY OF S-POSETS
In this paper we study the notions of cogenerator and subdirectlyirreducible in the category of S-poset. First we give somenecessary and sufficient conditions for a cogenerator $S$-posets.Then we see that under some conditions, regular injectivityimplies generator and cogenerator. Recalling Birkhoff'sRepresentation Theorem for algebra, we study subdirectlyirreducible S-posets and give this theo...
