HW #9, due Wednesday 4/15

1. Let Delta_1, Delta_2 be simplicial complexes on {1..n}.
Show that Delta_1 intersect Delta_2, Delta_1 union Delta_2 are both simplicial complexes too.

2. Show H_{Delta_1 union Delta_2} = H_{Delta_1} + H_{Delta_2} - H_{the intersection}.

3. Take the two simplicial complexes from the last homework. Compute their Hilbert series (meaning, that of the associated Stanley-Reisner ideals) using the formula we have for general monomial ideals. Confirm that it matches the answer we get from the formula specifically for SR ideals.

4. Let I be a homogeneous ideal. But let's homogenize it again, anyway! Relate H_I and H_{homog(I)}.
