We translate the problem of finding an (r,s)-coloring of a given simplex to a topological problem and to a ring theoretic problem. The topological version involves vector bundles over Davis--Januszkiewicz spaces and the algebraic one involves factorizations in Stanley-Reisner rings.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-07-05T16:07:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C15", "55R25" ], "keywords": [ "simplicial complexes", "vertex colorings", "abstract simplicial complex", "stanley-reisner rings", "davis-januszkiewicz spaces" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1007.0710D" } } }
