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...
