Abstract: Results of R. Stanley and M. Masuda completely characterize the h-vectors of simplicial posets whose order complexes are spheres. In this paper we examine the corresponding question in the case where the order complex is a ball. Using the face rings of these posets, we develop a series of new conditions on their h-vectors. We also present new methods for constructing poset balls with specific h-vectors. These results allow us to give a complete characterization of the h-vectors of simplicial poset balls up through dimension six.

Review text

Motivated by results of \textit{R. P. Stanley} [J.\ Pure Appl.\ Algebra 71, No. 2-3, 319--331 (1991; Zbl 0727.06009); Eur.\ J.\ Comb.\ 14, No. 3, 251--258 (1993; Zbl 0799.52008)] and \textit{M. Masuda} [Adv.\ Math.\ 194, No. 2, 332--344 (2005; Zbl 1063.05010)] which completely describe the \(h\)-vectors of simplicial posets whose order complexes are spheres, the present paper provides some necessary an some sufficient conditions on the \(h\)-vectors of simplicial posets whose order complexes are balls. The necessary conditions, stated as inequalities and parity conditions, are obtained by studying the face ring of the simplicial posets, the examples yielding sufficient conditions are constructed using shelling. Combining this work with a new result of S.\ Murai, a complete characterization of the \(h\)-vectors is given for simplicial poset balls in even dimensions and in odd dimensions less than or equal to five.
