Poset topology and homological invariants of algebras arising in algebraic combinatorics. (English. French summary) Zbl 1394.16004

Summary: We present a beautiful interplay between combinatorial topology and homological algebra for a class of monoids that arise naturally in algebraic combinatorics. We explore several applications of this interplay. For instance, we provide a new interpretation of the Leray number of a clique complex in terms of non-commutative algebra.
