Shellable non-pseudomanifolds with dimension greater than 2

Shellability of simplicial balls and spheres (simplicial complexes whose geometric realizations are homeomorphic to balls and spheres) has been studied quite extensively. There are many explicit ...

Which simplicial complexes are completely determined by the 1-skeleton of their dual polyhedral complexes?

Consider the following line of reasoning that shows certain simplicial complexes (of arbitrary dimension) are completely determined by corresponding graphs: The facet complex of any simplicial ...

How much smaller is the Čech complex than the Vietoris-Rips complex?

The Čech complex is a subcomplex of the Vietoris-Rips complex. The V-R complex includes as a simplex a set of points with pairwise distances at most $\epsilon$, whereas the Č complex includes as a ...

Combinatorial distance between simplicial complexes

Let $K_1$ and $K_2$ be two simplicial complexes. I am seeking a measure of the distance between $K_1$ and $K_2$ when viewed as combinatorial objects. What I have in mind is something like this. ...
