Quasi-forest simplicial complexes and almost Cohen-Macaulay

Abstract: In this paper we study the quasi-forest simplicial complexes and we define the concept of simplicial

k

-cycle (denoted by

m a t h c a l S_{k}

) and simplicial

k

-point (denoted by

m a t h c a l P_{k}

). We show that a simplicial complex

D e l t a

is quasi-forest if and only if it does not have any

m a t h c a l P_{k}

and any

m a t h c a l S_{k}

for

k g e q 3

. Furthermore we characterize almost Cohen-Macaulay quasi-forest simplicial complexes. In the end we show that the cycle graph

G = C_{n}

is almost Cohen-Macaulay if and only if

n = 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11

.
