A discrete Morse function with no low-dimensional critical cells is constructed, implying a lower bound on connectivity. This together with an Alexander duality result of Edelman and Reiner implies homology-vanishing also in high dimensions. Finally, possible generalizations to certain classes of supersolvable lattices are suggested.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-11-16T17:55:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A05", "05E25" ], "keywords": [ "connectivity", "h-complexes", "discrete morse function", "alexander duality result", "boolean algebra" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003math.....11271H" } } }
