On the f-vectors of r-multichain subdivisions

Abstract: For a poset

P

and an integer

r g e q 1

, let

P_{r}

be a collection of all

r

-multichains in

P

. Corresponding to each strictly increasing map

i : [r] i g h t a r r o w [2 r]

, there is an order

p r e c e q_{i}

on

P_{r}

. Let

D (G_{i} (P_{r}))

be the clique complex of the graph

G_{i}

associated to

P_{r}

and

i

. In a recent paper cite{NW}, it is shown that

D (G_{i} (P_{r}))

is a subdivision of

P

for a class of strictly increasing maps. In this paper, we show that all these subdivisions have the same

f

-vector. We give an explicit description of the transformation matrices from the

f

- and

h

-vectors of

D e l t a

to the

f

- and

h

-vectors of these subdivisions when

P

is a poset of faces of

D

. We study two important subdivisions Cheeger-M"{u}ller-Schrader's subdivision and the

r

-colored barycentric subdivision which fall in our class of

r

-multichain subdivisions.
