Connectivity of pseudomanifold graphs from an algebraic point of view. (Connexité des graphes de pseudo-variétés d’un point de vue algébrique.) (English. French summary) Zbl 1331.05119

Summary: The connectivity of graphs of simplicial and polytopal complexes is a classical subject going back at least to Steinitz, and the topic has since been studied by many authors, including Balinski, Barnette, Athanasiadis, and Björner. In this note, we provide a unifying approach that allows us to obtain more general results. Moreover, we provide a relation to commutative algebra by relating connectivity problems to graded Betti numbers of the associated Stanley-Reisner rings.
