We show that $J_n$, the Stanley-Reisner ideal of the $n$-cycle, has a free resolution supported on the $(n-3)$-dimensional simplicial associahedron $A_n$. This resolution is not minimal for $n \geq 6$; in this case the Betti numbers of $J_n$ are strictly smaller than the $f$-vector of $A_n$. We show that in fact the Betti numbers $\beta_{d}$ of $J_n$ are in bijection with the number of standard Young tableaux of shape $(d+1, 2, 1^{n-d-3})$. This complements the fact that the number of $(d-1)$-dimensional faces of $A_n$ are given by the number of standard Young tableaux of (super)shape $(d+1, d+1, 1^{n-d-3})$; a bijective proof of this result was first provided by Stanley. An application of discrete Morse theory yields a cellular resolution of $J_n$ that we show is minimal at the first syzygy. We furthermore exhibit a simple involution on the set of associahedron tableaux with fixed points given by the Betti tableaux, suggesting a Morse matching and in particular a poset structure on these objects.

A tableau inversion is a pair of entries from the same column of a row-standard tableau that lack the relative ordering necessary to make the tableau column-standard. An $i$-inverted Young tableau is a row-standard tableau with precisely $i$ inversion pairs, and may be interpreted as a generalization of (column-standard) Young tableaux. Inverted Young tableaux that lack repeated entries were introduced by Fresse to calculate the Betti numbers of Springer fibers in Type A, and were later developed as combinatorial objects in their own right by Beagley and Drube. This paper generalizes earlier notions of tableau inversions to row-standard tableaux with repeated entries, yielding an interesting new generalization of semistandard (as opposed to merely standard) Young tableaux. We develop a closed formula for the maximum numbers of inversion pairs for a row-standard tableau with a specific shape and content, and show that the number of $i$-inverted tableaux of a given shape is invariant under permutation of content. We then enumerate $i$-inverted Young tableaux for a variety of shapes and contents, and generalize an earlier result that places $1$-inverted Young tableaux of a general shape in bijection with $0$-inverted Young tableaux of a variety of related shapes.

We present an explicit construction of minimal cellular resolutions for the edge ideals of forests, based on discrete Morse theory. In particular, the generators of the free modules are subsets of the generators of the modules in the Lyubeznik resolution. This procedure allows us to ease the computation of the graded Betti numbers and the projective dimension.

AbstractWe study the restrictions, the strict fixed points, and the strict quotients of the partition complex $|\Pi_{n}|$ | Π n | , which is the $\Sigma_{n}$ Σ n -space attached to the poset of proper nontrivial partitions of the set $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ { 1 , … , n } .We express the space of fixed points $|\Pi_{n}|^{G}$ | Π n | G in terms of subgroup posets for general $G\subset \Sigma_{n}$ G ⊂ Σ n and prove a formula for the restriction of $|\Pi_{n}|$ | Π n | to Young subgroups $\Sigma_{n_{1}}\times \cdots\times \Sigma_{n_{k}}$ Σ n 1 × ⋯ × Σ n k . Both results follow by applying a general method, proven with discrete Morse theory, for producing equivariant branching rules on lattices with group actions.We uncover surprising links between strict Young quotients of $|\Pi_{n}|$ | Π n | , commutative monoid spaces, and the cotangent fibre in derived algebraic geometry. These connections allow us to construct a cofibre sequence relating various strict quotients $|\Pi_{n}|^{\diamond} \mathbin {\operatorname* {\wedge }_{\Sigma_{n}}^{}} (S^{\ell})^{\wedge n}$ | Π n | ⋄ ∧ Σ n ( S ℓ ) ∧ n and give a combinatorial proof of a splitting in derived algebraic geometry.Combining all our results, we decompose strict Young quotients of $|\Pi_{n}|$ | Π n | in terms of “atoms” $|\Pi_{d}|^{\diamond} \mathbin {\operatorname* {\wedge }_{\Sigma_{d}}^{}} (S^{\ell})^{\wedge d}$ | Π d | ⋄ ∧ Σ d ( S ℓ ) ∧ d for $\ell$ ℓ odd and compute their homology. We thereby also generalise Goerss’ computation of the algebraic André-Quillen homology of trivial square-zero extensions from $\mathbf {F}_{2}$ F 2 to $\mathbf {F}_{p}$ F p for $p$ p an odd prime.

International audience The $k$-parabolic subspace arrangement, introduced by Barcelo, Severs and White, is a generalization of the well known $k$-equal arrangements of type-$A$ and type-$B$. In this paper we use the discrete Morse theory of Forman to study the homology of the complements of $k$-parabolic subspace arrangements. In doing so, we recover some known results of Björner et al. and provide a combinatorial interpretation of the Betti numbers for any $k$-parabolic subspace arrangement. The paper provides results for any $k$-parabolic subspace arrangement, however we also include an extended example of our methods applied to the $k$-equal arrangements of type-$A$ and type-$B$. In these cases, we obtain new formulas for the Betti numbers. L'arrangement $k$-parabolique, introduit par Barcelo, Severs et White, est une généralisation des arrangements, $k$-éguax de type $A$ et de type $B$. Dans cet article, nous utilisons la théorie de Morse discrète proposée par Forman pour étudier l'homologie des compléments d'arrangements $k$-paraboliques. Ce faisant, nous retrouvons les résultats connus de Bjorner et al. mais aussi nous fournissons une interprétation combinatoire des nombres de Betti pour des arrangements $k$-paraboliques. Ce papier fournit alors des résultats pour n'importe quel arrangement $k$-parabolique, cependant nous y présentons un exemple étendu de nos méthodes appliquées aux arrangements $k$-éguax de type $A$ et de type $B$. Pour ce cas, on obtient de nouvelles formules pour les nombres de Betti.

Abstract We use the non-proper Morse theory of Palais–Smale to investigate the topology of smooth closed subvarieties of complex semi-abelian varieties and that of their infinite cyclic covers. As main applications, we obtain the finite generation (except in the middle degree) of the corresponding integral Alexander modules as well as the signed Euler characteristic property and generic vanishing for rank-one local systems on such subvarieties. Furthermore, we give a more conceptual (topological) interpretation of the signed Euler characteristic property in terms of vanishing of Novikov homology. As a byproduct, we prove a generic vanishing result for the $L^2$-Betti numbers of very affine manifolds. Our methods also recast June Huh’s extension of Varchenko’s conjecture to very affine manifolds and provide a generalization of this result in the context of smooth closed sub-varieties of semi-abelian varieties.
