Abstract: To a finite ranked poset Gamma we associate a finite-dimensional graded quadratic algebra RGamma. Assuming Gamma satisfies a combinatorial condition known as uniform, RGamma is related to a well-known algebra, the splitting algebra AGamma. First introduced by Gelfand, Retakh, Serconek, and Wilson, splitting algebras originated from the problem of factoring non-commuting polynomials. Given a finite ranked poset Gamma, we ask: Is RGamma Koszul? The Koszulity of RGamma is related to a combinatorial topology property of Gamma called Cohen-Macaulay. Kloefkorn and Shelton proved that if Gamma is a finite ranked cyclic poset, then Gamma is Cohen-Macaulay if and only if Gamma is uniform and RGamma is Koszul. We define a new generalization of Cohen-Macaulay, weakly Cohen-Macaulay, and we note that this new class includes posets with disconnected open subintervals. We prove: if Gamma is a finite ranked cyclic poset, then Gamma is weakly Cohen-Macaulay if and only if RGamma is Koszul.
