Publication:2030751



Abstract: We prove some new rank selection theorems for balanced simplicial complexes. Specifically, we prove that rank selected subcomplexes of balanced simplicial complexes satisfying Serre's condition (Sell) retain (Sell). We also provide a formula for the depth of a balanced simplicial complex in terms of reduced homologies of its rank selected subcomplexes. By passing to a barycentric subdivision, our results give information about Serre's condition and the depth of any simplicial compex. Our results extend rank selection theorems for depth proved by Stanley, Munkres, and Hibi.


Summary: We prove some new rank selection theorems for balanced simplicial complexes. Specifically, we prove that if a balanced simplicial complex satisfies Serre's condition \((S_{\ell})\) then so do all of its rank selected subcomplexes. We also provide a formula for the depth of a balanced simplicial complex in terms of reduced homologies of its rank selected subcomplexes. By passing to a barycentric subdivision, our results give information about Serre's condition and the depth of any simplicial complex. Our results extend rank selection theorems for depth proved by \textit{R. P. Stanley} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 249, 139--157 (1979; Zbl 0411.05012)], \textit{J. R. Munkres} [Mich. Math. J. 31, 113--128 (1984; Zbl 0585.57014)], and \textit{T. Hibi} [J. Algebra 140, No. 2, 336--343 (1991; Zbl 0761.55015)].
