Abstract: We present a simple method to obtain information regarding the connectivity of the 1-skeleta of a wide family of simplicial complexes through bounds for the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of their Stanley-Reisner rings. In this way we generalize and unify two results on connectivity: one by Balinsky and Barnette, one by Athanasiadis. In particular, if Delta is a simplicial d-pseudomanifold, and s is the highest integer such that there is an s-dimensional simplex not contained in Delta, but such that its boundary is, then the 1-skeleton of Delta is leftlceilfrac(s+1)dsightceil-connected. We also show that this bound on the connectivity is tight.
