Several questions raised by Kalai (2002) are addressed. For instance, it turns out that the combinatorial shifting of Erd\\H{o}s$\\unicode{x2013}$Ko$\\unicode{x2013}$Rado (1961) arises as a special case. Moreover, we identify a sufficient condition for partial shifting to preserve the Betti numbers of a simplicial complex; examples show that this condition is sharp.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-10-31T15:39:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05E45", "13D99", "20G99", "05C35" ], "keywords": [ "partial algebraic shifting", "finite simplicial complexes", "study algebraic", "exterior algebra", "uniform hypergraphs" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
