Tight complexes are Golod

The Golodness of a simplicial complex is defined algebraically in terms of the Stanley-Reisner ring, and it has been a long-standing problem to find its combinatorial characterization. The tightness of a simplicial complex is a combinatorial analogue of a tight embedding of a manifold into the Euclidean space, and has been studied in connection to minimal manifold triangulations. In this paper, we prove that tight complexes are Golod, and as a corollary, we obtain that for triangulations of closed connected orientable manifolds, the Golodness and the tightness are equivalent.

Golod and tight 3-manifolds

The notions Golodness and tightness for simplicial complexes come from algebra and geometry, respectively. We prove these two notions are equivalent for 3-manifold triangulations, through a topological characterization of a polyhedral product for a tight-neighborly manifold triangulation of dimension $\ge 3$.

Two-dimensional Golod complexes

We characterize two-dimensional Golod complexes combinatorially by vertex-breakability and topologically by the fat-wedge filtration of a polyhedral product. Applying the characterization, we consider a difference between Golodness over fields and rings, which enables us to give a two-dimensional simple Golod complex over any field such that the corresponding moment-angle complex is not a suspension.

Relative phantom maps

The de Bruijn-Erdős theorem states that the chromatic number of an infinite graph equals the maximum of the chromatic numbers of finite subgraphs. Such a determinativeness by finite subobjects appears in the definition of a phantom map which is classical in algebraic topology. The topological method in combinatorics connects these two, which leads us to define the relative version of a phantom map: a map $f\colon X\to Y$ is called a relative phantom map to a map $φ\colon B\to Y$ if the restriction of $f$ to any finite subcomplex of $X$ lifts to $B$ through $φ$, up to homotopy. There are two kinds of maps which are obviously relative phantom maps: (1) the composite of a map $X\to B$ with $φ$; (2) a usual phantom map $X\to Y$. A relative phantom map of type (1) is called trivial, and a relative phantom map out of a suspension which is a sum of (1) and (2) is called relatively trivial. We study the (relative) triviality of relative phantom maps and in particular, we give rational homology conditions for the (relative) triviality.

Characterisation of polyhedral products with finite generalised Postnikov decomposition

A generalised Postnikov tower for a space $X$ is a tower of principal fibrations with fibres generalised Eilenberg-MacLane spaces, whose inverse limit is weakly homotopy equivalent to $X$. In this paper we give a characterisation of a polyhedral product $Z_K(X,A)$ whose universal cover either admits a generalised Postnikov tower of finite length, or is a homotopy retract of a space admitting such a tower. We also include $p$-local and rational versions of the theorem. We end with a group theoretic application.

Polyhedral products for shifted complexes and higher Whitehead products

This paper studies the map between polyhedral products $\mathcal{Z}_K(C\underline{X},\underline{X})\to\mathcal{Z}_K(Σ\underline{X},*)$ induced from the pinch maps $(CX_i,X_i)\to(ΣX_i,*)$, which is the higher order Whitehead product if $K$ is the boundary of a simplex. When $K$ is a shifted complex, a wedge decomposition of $\mathcal{Z}_K(C\underline{X},\underline{X})$ is given by the authors. Based on this decomposition, when $K$ is shifted, the induced pinch map is explicitly described as a wedge of iterated Whitehead products each of which includes at most one higher product. As a corollary, the Jacobi identity of Whitehead products including higher products due to Hardie is generalized.

Whitehead products in moment-angle complexes

In toric topology, to a simplicial complex $K$ with $m$ vertices, one associates two spaces, the moment-angle complex $\mathcal{Z}_K$ and the Davis-Januszkiewicz space $DJ_K$. These spaces are connected by a homotopy fibration $\mathcal{Z}_K\to DJ_K\to(\mathbb{C}P^\infty)^m$. In this paper, we show that the map $\mathcal{Z}_K\to DJ_K$ is identified with a wedge of iterated (higher) Whitehead products for a certain class of simplicial complexes $K$ including dual shellable complexes. We will prove the result in a more general setting of polyhedral products.

A Golod complex with non-suspension moment-angle complex

It could be expected that the moment-angle complex associated with a Golod simplicial complex is homotopy equivalent to a suspension space. In this paper, we provide a counter example to this expectation. We have discovered this complex through the studies of the Golod property of the Alexander dual of a join of simplicial complexes, and that of a union of simplicial complexes.

Polyhedral products for simplicial complexes with minimal Taylor resolutions

We prove that for a simplicial complex $K$ whose Taylor resolution for the Stanley-Reisner ring is minimal, the following four conditions are equivalent: (1) $K$ satisfies the strong gcd-condition; (2) $K$ is Golod; (3) the moment-angle complex $\mathcal{Z}_K$ is homotopy equivalent to a wedge of spheres; (4) the decomposition of the suspension of the polyhedral product $\mathcal{Z}_K(C\underline{X},\underline{X})$ due to Bahri, Bendersky, Cohen, and Gitler desuspends.

Golodness and polyhedral products for two dimensional simplicial complexes

Golodness of 2-dimensional simplicial complexes is studied through polyhedral products, and combinatorial and topoogical characterization of Golodness of surface triangulations is given. An answer to the question of Berglund is also given so that there is a 2-dimensional simplicial complex which is rationally Golod but is not Golod over $\mathbb{Z}/p$.

Fat wedge filtrations and decomposition of polyhedral products

The polyhedral product constructed from a collection of pairs of cones and their bases and a simplicial complex $K$ is studied by investigating its filtration called the fat wedge filtration. We give a sufficient condition for decomposing the polyhedral product in terms of the fat wedge filtration of the real moment-angle complex for $K$, which is a desuspension of the decomposition of the suspension of the polyhedral product due to Bahri, Bendersky, Cohen, and Gitler. We show that the condition also implies a strong connection with the Golodness of $K$, and is satisfied when $K$ is dual sequentially Cohen-Macaulay over $\mathbb{Z}$ or $\lceil\frac{\dim K}{2}\rceil$-neighborly so that the polyhedral product decomposes. Specializing to moment-angle complexes, we also give a necessary and sufficient condition for their decomposition and co-H-structures in terms of their fat wedge filtration.

Topology of polyhedral products and the Golod property of Stanley-Reisner rings

The polyhedral product is a space constructed from a simplicial complex and a collection of pairs of spaces, which is connected with the Stanley Reisner ring of the simplicial complex via cohomology. Generalizing the previous work Grbic and Theriault, Grujic and Welker, and the authors, we show a decomposition of polyhedral products for a large class of simplicial complexes including the ones whose Alexander duals are shellable or sequentially Cohen-Macaulay. This implies the property, called Golod, of the corresponding Stanley-Reisner rings proved by Herzog, Reiner and Welker.

Decompositions of suspensions of spaces involving polyhedral products

Two homotopy decompositions of supensions of spaces involving polyhedral products are given. The first decomposition is motivated by the decomposition of suspensions of polyhedral products by Bahri, Bendersky, Cohen, and Gitler, and is a generalization of the retractile argument of James. The second decomposition is on the union of an arrangement of subspaces called diagonal subspaces, and generalizes the result of Labbasi.

Homotopy decomposition of diagonal arrangements

Given a space $X$ and a simplicial complex $K$ with $m$-vertices, the arrangement of partially diagonal subspaces of $X^m$, called the dragonal arrangement, is defined. We decompose the suspension of the diagonal arrangement when $2(dim K + 1) < m$, which generalizes the result of Labassi. As a corollary, we calculate the Euler characteristic of the complement when $X$ is a closed connected manifold.

Wedge decomposition of polyhedral products

We prove that certain polyhedral products, including the moment-angle complexes, for the Alexander duals of shellable and sequentially Cohen-Macaulay complexes decompose into wedges of explicitly given suspension spaces, which implies the properties of the Stanley-Reisner rings, known as Golod, of theses complexes.

On the Gray index conjecture for phantom maps

We study the Gray index of phantom maps, which is a numerical invariant of phantom maps. It is conjectured that the only phantom map with infinite Gray index between finite-type spaces is the constant map. We disprove this conjecture by constructing a counter example. We also prove that this conjecture is valid if the target spaces of phantom maps are restricted to simply connected finite complexes. As an application of the counter example we show that $\SNT^{\infty}(X)$ can be non-trivial for some space $X$ of finite type.
