First, we characterize all possible local $h$-vectors of quasi-geometric subdivisions of a simplex. Second, we prove that the local $\\gamma$-vector of the barycentric subdivision of any CW-regular subdivision of a simplex is nonnegative. Along the way, we derive a new recurrence formula for the derangement polynomials.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-04-26T11:15:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05E45", "05A05" ], "keywords": [ "barycentric subdivision", "quasi-geometric subdivisions", "cw-regular subdivision", "recurrence formula", "derangement polynomials" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
