In this survey, we discuss two research areas related to Massey’s higher operations. The first direction is connected with the cohomology of Lie algebras and theory representations. second main theme at intersection toric topology, homotopy polyhedral products, homology local rings, Stanley–Reisner rings simplicial complexes.

We study binary linear codes C obtained from the quadric Veronese embedding of P3 in P9 over F2. show how one can find higher weight spectra these codes. Our method will be a Stanley-Reisner rings series matroids associated to each code C.

The notion of D-simplicity is used to give a short proof that varieties whose normalization is smooth satisfy Ishibashi’s extension of Nakai’s conjecture to arbitrary characteristic. This gives a new proof of Nakai’s conjecture for curves and Stanley-Reisner rings.

Given a constant weight linear code, we investigate its weight hierarchy and the Stanley-Reisner resolution of its associated matroid regarded as a simplicial complex. We also exhibit conditions on the higher weights sufficient to conclude that the code is of constant weight.

Recently, Nevo introduced the notion of strongly edge decomposable spheres. In this paper, we characterize the algebraic shifted complex of those spheres. Algebraically, this result yields the characterization of the generic initial ideal of the Stanley–Reisner ideal of Gorenstein* complexes having the strong Lefschetz property in characteristic 0.

A technique of minimal free resolutions of Stanley–Reisner rings enables us to show the following two results: (1) The 1-skeleton of a simplicial (d − 1)-sphere is d-connected, which was first proved by Barnette; (2) The comparability graph of a non-planar distributive lattice of rank d − 1 is d-connected.
