On a Conjecture by Kalai

چکیده
We show that monomial ideals generated in degree two satisfy a conjecture by Eisenbud, Green and Harris. In particular we give a partial answer to a conjecture of Kalai by proving that h-vectors of flag Cohen-Macaulay simplicial complexes are h-vectors of Cohen-Macaulay balanced simplicial complexes.

A note on the Entropy/Influence conjecture
The Entropy/Influence conjecture, raised by Friedgut and Kalai (1996) [9], seeks to relate two different measures of concentration of the Fourier coefficients of a Boolean function. Roughly saying, it claims that if the Fourier spectrum is “smeared out”, then the Fourier coefficients are concentrated on “high” levels. In this note we generalize the conjecture to biased product measures on the d...
متن کاملON THE h-VECTORS OF COHEN-MACAULAY FLAG COMPLEXES
Starting from an unpublished conjecture of Kalai and from a conjecture of Eisenbud, Green and Harris, we study several problems relating h-vectors of Cohen-Macaulay, flag simplicial complexes and face vectors of simplicial complexes.
متن کاملA Counterexample to Borsuk's Conjecture
Let f(d) be the smallest number so that every set in Rd of diameter 1 can be partitioned into f(d) sets of diameter smaller than 1. Borsuk's conjecture was that f(d)=d+\ . We prove that f(d)>(\.2)^ for large d.
متن کاملOn Kalai's Conjectures Concerning Centrally Symmetric Polytopes
In 1989 Kalai stated the three conjectures A, B, C of increasing strength concerning face numbers of centrally symmetric convex polytopes. The weakest conjecture,A, became known as the “3-conjecture”. It is well-known that the three conjectures hold in dimensions d ≤ 3. We show that in dimension 4 only conjectures A and B are valid, while conjecture C fails. Furthermore, we show that both conje...
متن کاملAlgebraic Shifting and Basic Constructions on Simplicial Complexes
We try to understand the behavior of algebraic shifting with respect to some basic constructions on simplicial complexes, such as union, coning, and (more generally) join. In particular, for the disjoint union of simplicial complexes we prove ∆(K∪̇L) = ∆(∆(K)∪̇∆(L)) (conjectured by Kalai [2]), and for the join we give an example of simplicial complexes K and L for which ∆(K ∗ L) 6= ∆(∆(K) ∗∆(L)) ...
