Let $C$ be a cubical subcomplex in $I^m$. The moment-angle complex $\\ma(C)$ is a $T^m$-invariant bigraded cellular decomposition of the subset $\\rho^{-1}(C)\\subset(D^2)^m$ with cells corresponding to the faces of $C$. Different combinatorial problems concerning cubical complexes and related combinatorial objects can be treated by studying the equivariant topology of corresponding moment-angle complexes. Here we consider moment-angle complexes defined by canonical cubical subdivisions of simplicial complexes. We describe relations between the combinatorics of simplicial complexes and the bigraded cohomology of corresponding moment-angle complexes. In the case when the simplicial complex is a simplicial manifold the corresponding moment-angle complex has an orbit consisting of singular points. The complement of an invariant neighbourhood of this orbit is a manifold with boundary. The relative Poincare duality for this manifold implies the generalized Dehn-Sommerville equations for the number of faces of simplicial manifolds.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-05-20T12:54:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "52B70", "57R19", "57Q15" ], "keywords": [ "simplicial manifold", "combinatorics", "corresponding moment-angle complexes", "simplicial complexes", "invariant bigraded cellular decomposition" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 28, "language": "ru", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2000math......5199B" } } }
