Homology groups of simplicial complements: A new proof of Hochster theorem

Abstract

In this paper, we consider homology groups induced by the exterior algebra generated by a simplicial compliment of a simplicial complex $K$. These homology groups are isomorphic to the Tor-groups ${\mathrm{Tor}}_{i,J}^{\mathbf{k}[m]}(\mathbf{k}(K),\mathbf{k})$ of the face ring $\mathbf{k}(K)$, which is very useful and much studied in toric topology. By using $\check{C}ech$ homology theory and Alexander duality theorem, we prove that these homology groups have dualities with the simplicial cohomology groups of the full subcomplexes of $K$. Then we give a new proof of Hochster's theorem.
