Title
Reversible Shellings And An Inequality For H-Vectors
Abstract
Several important simplicial complexes including matroid complexes and broken circuit complexes are known to be shellable. We show that the lexicographic order of the bases of a matroid can be reversed to obtain a shelling. We prove that the h-vectors of such reversibly shellable complexes of rank d, which have an empty boundary must satisfy the inequality h(0) + h(1) +...+ h(i) less than or equal to h(d) + h(d-1) +...+ h(d-i) for i less than or equal to[d/2]. In particular, this gives a necessary condition for the h-vector of matroids without coloops.
