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.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-10-09T08:43:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "55M99", "90C05" ], "keywords": [ "buchstaber invariant", "finite simplicial complex", "unit disk", "complex numbers", "natural action" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0908.3448F" } } }
