Abstract: A moment-angle complex $mathcal{Z}_K$ is a compact topological space associated with a finite simplicial complex $K$. It is realized as a subspace of a polydisk $(D^2{)}^m$, where $m$ is the number of vertices in $K$ and $D^2$ is the unit disk of the complex numbers $C$, and the natural action of a torus $(S^1{)}^m$ on $(D^2{)}^m$ leaves $mathcal{Z}_K$ invariant. The Buchstaber invariant $s(K)$ of $K$ is the maximum integer for which there is a subtorus of rank $s(K)$ acting on $mathcal{Z}_K$ freely. The story above goes over the real numbers $R$ in place of $C$ and a real analogue of the Buchstaber invariant, denoted $s_R(K)$, can be defined for $K$ and $s(K)leqq{s}_R(K)$. In this paper we will make some computations of $s_R(K)$ when $K$ is a skeleton of a simplex. We take two approaches to find $s_R(K)$ and the latter one turns out to be a problem of integer linear programming and of independent interest.

Review text

This paper provides some computations of the real Buchstaber invariant of the skeleta of a simplex. The Buchstaber invariant of a finite simplicial complex \(K\) is defined in the following way: \textit{M. W. Davis} and \textit{T. Januszkiewicz} [Duke Math. J. 62, No. 2, 417--451 (1991; Zbl 0733.52006)] associated to \(K\) a space \({\mathcal Z}_K\), referred to as the moment-angle complex of \(K\), and [\textit{V. M. Buchstaber} and \textit{T. E. Panov}, Torus actions and their applications in topology and combinatorics. University Lecture Series. 24. Providence, RI:American Mathematical Society (AMS). (2002; Zbl 1012.52021)] realized it as an \((S^1)^m\)-invariant subspace of the polydisc \((D^2)^m\subset {\mathbb C}^m\), where \(m\) is the number of vertices of \(K\). Then the Buchstaber invariant of \(K\) is the largest dimension of a subtorus of \((S^1)^m\) acting freely on \({\mathbb Z}_K\). It is bounded from above by the real Buchstaber invariant, which is defined analogously by replacing the action of \((S^1)^m\) on the moment-angle complex \({\mathcal Z}_K\) by an action of the two-torus \((S^0)^m\) on the real moment-angle complex \({\mathbb R}{\mathcal Z}_K\). The authors denote the real Buchstaber invariant of the \((m-p-1)\)-skeleton of the \((m-1)\)-simplex by \(s_{\mathbb R}(m,p)\) and prove several results about these numbers; for instance, they calculate \(s_{\mathbb R}(m,p)\) for \(m-3 \leq p\leq m\). Moreover, they investigate the values of \(m\) and \(p\) for which \(s_{\mathbb R}(m,p)\) equals a fixed number \(k\), and formulate the problem of finding the range of \(m\) for which this equality holds (depending on fixed \(p\) and \(k\)) as a problem of integer linear programming. For various choices of \(p\) and \(k\) they are able to solve it, and they formulate a conjecture for the general case.
