Level algebras through Buchsbaum* manifolds (Q545669): Difference between revisions

In the paper [``Buchsbaum* complexes'', \url{arXiv:0909.1931}], \textit{Chr. Athanasiadis} and \textit{V. Welker} introduced the notion of Buchsbaum* for a finite simplicial complex. This class includes all doubly Cohen-Macaulay complexes and all triangulations of orientable homology manifolds with boundary. \textit{I. Novik} and \textit{E. Swartz} [Adv. Math. 222, No. 6, 2059--2084 (2009; Zbl 1182.52010)] studied Buchsbaum complexes by investigating socles of Artinian reductions of their Stanley-Reisner rings. It yields a far reaching strengthening of the reviewer's results on \(f\)-vectors of Buchsbaum complexes [Math. Z. 178, 125--142 (1981; Zbl 0472.13012)]. In the present paper the author extends the Novik-Swartz results to Buchsbaum* complexes. As an application the author establishes results on the enumeration of the faces of Buchsbaum* complexes improving those of Novik and Swartz [loc. cit.].
