  1. Face numbers of pseudomanifolds with isolated singularities.

    Authors: Isabella Novik, Ed Swartz
    Subjects: Combinatorics
    Abstract

    We investigate the face numbers of simplicial complexes with Buchsbaum vertex
    links, especially pseudomanifolds with isolated singularities. This includes
    deriving Dehn-Sommerville relations for pseudomanifolds with isolated
    singularities and establishing lower bound theorems when the singularities are
    also homologically isolated. We give formulas for the Hilbert function of a
    generic Artinian reduction of the face ring when the singularities are
    homologically isolated and for any pure two-dimensional complex.

  2. Projection volumes of hyperplane arrangements.

    Abstract

    We prove that for any finite real hyperplane arrangement the average
    projection volumes of the maximal cones is given by the coefficients of the
    characteristic polynomial of the arrangement. This settles the conjecture of
    Drton and Klivans that this held for all finite real reflection arrangements.
    The methods used are geometric and combinatorial. As a consequence we determine
    that the angle sums of a zonotope are given by the characteristic polynomial of
    the order dual of the intersection lattice of the arrangement.

  3. Face rings of simplicial complexes with singularities.

    Authors: Ezra Miller, Isabella Novik, Ed Swartz

    Abstract

    The face ring of a simplicial complex modulo m generic linear forms is shown
    to have finite local cohomology if and only if the link of every face of
    dimension m or more is `nonsingular', i.e., has the homology of a wedge of
    spheres of the expected dimension. This is derived from an enumerative result
    for local cohomology of face rings modulo generic linear forms, as compared
    with local cohomology of the face ring itself. The enumerative result is
    generalized in slightly weaker form to squarefree modules.
