A Convex-Ear Decomposition for Rank-Selected Subposets of Supersolvable Lattices

نویسنده

  • Jay Schweig
چکیده

Let L be a supersolvable lattice with nonzero Möbius function. We show that the order complex of any rank-selected subposet of L admits a convex-ear decomposition. This proves many new inequalities for the h-vectors of such complexes, and shows that their g-vectors are M-

Several Convex-Ear Decompositions

In this paper we give convex-ear decompositions for the order complexes of several classes of posets, namely supersolvable lattices with non-zero Möbius functions and rank-selected subposets of such lattices, rank-selected geometric lattices, and rank-selected face posets of shellable complexes which do not include the top rank. These decompositions give us many new inequalities for the h-vecto...

Poset Convex-ear Decompositions and Applications to the Flag H-vector

Possibly the most fundamental combinatorial invariant associated to a finite simplicial complex is its f-vector, the integral sequence expressing the number of faces of the complex in each dimension. The h-vector of a complex is obtained by applying a simple invertible transformation to its f-vector, and thus the two contain the same information. Because some properties of the f-vector are easi...

Convex-Ear Decompositions and the Flag h-Vector

We prove a theorem allowing us to find convex-ear decompositions for rankselected subposets of posets that are unions of Boolean sublattices in a coherent fashion. We then apply this theorem to geometric lattices and face posets of shellable complexes, obtaining new inequalities for their h-vectors. Finally, we use the latter decomposition to give a new interpretation to inequalities satisfied ...

Inequalities for the H- and Flag H-vectors of Geometric Lattices

We prove that the order complex of a geometric lattice has a convex ear decomposition. As a consequence, if ∆(L) is the order complex of a rank (r+1) geometric lattice L, then the for all i ≤ r/2 the h-vector of ∆(L) satisfies, hi−1 ≤ hi and hi ≤ hr−i. We also obtain several inequalities for the flag h-vector of ∆(L) by analyzing the weak Bruhat order of the symmetric group. As an application, ...

Cubical Convex Ear Decompositions

We consider the problem of constructing a convex ear decomposition for a poset. The usual technique, introduced by Nyman and Swartz, starts with a CL-labeling and uses this to shell the ‘ears’ of the decomposition. We axiomatize the necessary conditions for this technique as a “CL-ced” or “EL-ced”. We find an EL-ced of the d-divisible partition lattice, and a closely related convex ear decompos...
