g-vectors of manifolds with boundary

Abstract: We extend several g-type theorems for connected, orientable homology manifolds without boundary to manifolds with boundary. As applications of these results we obtain K"uhnel-type bounds on the Betti numbers as well as on certain weighted sums of Betti numbers of manifolds with boundary. Our main tool is the completion hatDelta of a manifold with boundary Delta; it is obtained from Delta by coning off the boundary of Delta with a single new vertex. We show that despite the fact that hatDelta has a singular vertex, its Stanley--Reisner ring shares a few properties with the Stanley--Reisner rings of homology spheres. We close with a discussion of a connection between three lower bound theorems for manifolds, PL-handle decompositions, and surgery.
