Let ∆ be simplicial complex and let k[∆] denote the Stanley– Reisner ring corresponding to ∆. Suppose that k[∆] has a pure free resolution. Then we describe the Betti numbers and the Hilbert– Samuel multiplicity of k[∆] in terms of the h–vector of ∆. As an application, we derive a linear equation system and some inequalities for the components of the h–vector of the clique complex of an arbitra...

We show that a finite regular cell complex with the intersection property is a Cohen-Macaulay space iff the top enriched cohomology module is the only nonvanishing one. We prove a comprehensive generalization of Balinski’s theorem on convex polytopes. Also we show that for any Cohen-Macaulay cell complex as above, although there is now generalization of the Stanley-Reisner ring of simplicial co...

let $l$ be a completely regular frame and $mathcal{r}l$ be the ‎ring of continuous real-valued functions on $l$‎. ‎we show that the‎ ‎lattice $zid(mathcal{r}l)$ of $z$-ideals of $mathcal{r}l$ is a‎ ‎normal coherent yosida frame‎, ‎which extends the corresponding $c(x)$‎ ‎result of mart'{i}nez and zenk‎. ‎this we do by exhibiting‎ ‎$zid(mathcal{r}l)$ as a quotient of $rad(mathcal{r}l)$‎, ‎the‎ ‎...

In this paper we study the Betti numbers of Stanley-Reisner ideals generated in degree 2. We show that the first six Betti numbers do not depend on the characteristic of the ground field. We also show that, if the number of variables n is at most 10, all Betti numbers are independent of the ground field. For n = 11, there exists precisely 4 examples in which the Betti numbers depend on the grou...

Generalizing the notion of a Koszul algebra, a graded kalgebra A is K2 if its Yoneda algebra ExtA(k, k) is generated as an algebra in cohomology degrees 1 and 2. We prove a strong theorem about K2 factor algebras of Koszul algebras and use that theorem to show the Stanley-Reisner face ring of a simplicial complex ∆ is K2 whenever the Alexander dual simplicial complex ∆∗ is (sequentially) Cohen-...

Generalizing polynomials previously studied in the context of linear codes, we define weight polynomials and an enumerator for a matroid M . Our main result is that these polynomials are determined by Betti numbers associated with N0-graded minimal free resolutions of the Stanley-Reisner ideals of M and so-called elongations of M . Generalizing Greene’s theorem from coding theory, we show that ...

Let S be a set of n ideals of a commutative ring A and let Geven (respectively Godd) denote the product of all the sums of even (respectively odd) number of ideals of S. If n ≤ 6 the product of Geven and the intersection of all ideals of S is included in Godd. In the case A is an Noetherian integral domain, this inclusion is replaced by equality if and only if A is a Dedekind domain.

The concept of a 0-distributive poset is introduced. It is shown that a section semicomplemented poset is distributive if and only if it is 0-distributive. It is also proved that every pseudocomplemented poset is 0-distributive. Further, 0-distributive posets are characterized in terms of their ideal lattices.

Shellability is a well-known combinatorial criterion on a simplicial complex ∆ for verifying that the associated Stanley-Reisner ring k[∆] is Cohen-Macaulay. A notion familiar to commutative algebraists, but which has not received as much attention from combinatorialists as the Cohen-Macaulay property, is the notion of a Golod ring. Recently, Jöllenbeck introduced a criterion on simplicial comp...
