A Macaulay2 Package for Stanley Simplicial Poset Ideals

Abstract

We give a description of a new Macaulay2 package called SimplicialPosets. This package provides functions for working with simplicial posets and calculating their generalized Stanley-Reisner ideals. For practical purposes, we also introduce of a new random model for a class of simplicial posets which generalizes existing models for random simplicial complexes such as the Kahle model.
