We give a purely algebraic proof of the hypersurface case of the Toric Residue Mirror Conjecture recently proposed by Batyrev and Materov.

A matroid complex is a pure complex such that every restriction is again pure. It is a long-standing open problem to classify all possible hvectors of such complexes. In the case when the complex has dimension 1 we completely resolve this question. We also prove the 1-dimensional case of a conjecture of Stanley that all matroid h-vectors are pure O-sequences. Finally, we completely characterize...

Let J ⊂ I be two monomial ideals such that I/J is Cohen Macaulay. By associating a finite posets P g I/J to I/J , we show that if I/J is a Stanley ideal then Ĩ/J is also a Stanley ideal, where Ĩ/J is the polarization of I/J . We also give relations between sdepth and fdepth of I/J and Ĩ/J .

For a permutation π, let Sn(π) be the number of permutations on n letters avoiding π. Marcus and Tardos proved the celebrated Stanley-Wilf conjecture that L(π) = limn→∞ Sn(π) 1/n exists and is finite. Backed by numerical evidence, it has been conjectured by many researchers over the years that L(π) = Θ(k) for every permutation π on k letters. We disprove this conjecture, showing that L(π) = 2 Θ...
