2 Classical divisibility and direct product We consider the divisibility of monomials in n variables x 1,...,x n.
3 Classical divisibility and direct product We consider the divisibility of monomials in n variables x 1,...,x n. Every monomial x a1 1 xan n (a 1,...,a n ) N n. is determined by its exponent vector
4 Classical divisibility and direct product We consider the divisibility of monomials in n variables x 1,...,x n. Every monomial x a1 1 xan n (a 1,...,a n ) N n. is determined by its exponent vector We study the divisibility of monomials as an order relation inn n.
5 Classical divisibility and direct product We consider the divisibility of monomials in n variables x 1,...,x n. Every monomial x a1 1 xan n (a 1,...,a n ) N n. is determined by its exponent vector We study the divisibility of monomials as an order relation inn n. The poset of all divisors of (a 1,...,a n ) can be seen as the direct product of n chains with a 1 + 1,...,a n + 1 elements. (2, 3) (2, 2) (1, 3) = 1 0 (2, 1) (1, 2) (0, 3) (2, 0) (1, 1) (0, 2) (1, 0) (0, 1) (0, 0)
6 Proper divisibility What happens if we consider proper divisibility instead of classical divisibility?
7 Proper divisibility What happens if we consider proper divisibility instead of classical divisibility? For every (a 1,...,a n ),(b 1,...,b n ) N n, we say that (a 1,...,a n ) properly divides(b 1,...,b n ) if for every 1 i n, either a i = b i = 0 or a i < b i.
8 Proper divisibility What happens if we consider proper divisibility instead of classical divisibility? For every (a 1,...,a n ),(b 1,...,b n ) N n, we say that (a 1,...,a n ) properly divides(b 1,...,b n ) if for every 1 i n, either a i = b i = 0 or a i < b i. For example, (3, 2, 4) properly divides(4, 4, 6), (1, 2, 0) properly divides(2, 4, 0), (2, 0, 3) does not divide(3, 0, 3) properly.
9 Proper divisibility What happens if we consider proper divisibility instead of classical divisibility? For every (a 1,...,a n ),(b 1,...,b n ) N n, we say that (a 1,...,a n ) properly divides(b 1,...,b n ) if for every 1 i n, either a i = b i = 0 or a i < b i. For example, (3, 2, 4) properly divides(4, 4, 6), (1, 2, 0) properly divides(2, 4, 0), (2, 0, 3) does not divide(3, 0, 3) properly. We study proper divisibility as an order relation, setting (a 1,..., a n ) = (b 1,..., b n ) or (a 1,..., a n ) (b 1,..., b n ) (a 1,..., a n ) properly divides(b 1,..., b n )
10 For an arbitrary(a 1,...,a n ) N n, we set P(a 1,...,a n ) = {(b 1,...,b n ) N n : (b 1,...,b n ) (a 1,...,a n )} and consider P(a 1,...,a n ) as a poset ordered by proper divisibility. It has a unique minimal element 0 = (0,...,0) and a unique maximal element 1 = (a 1,...,a n ). Hence it is bounded.
11 For an arbitrary(a 1,...,a n ) N n, we set P(a 1,...,a n ) = {(b 1,...,b n ) N n : (b 1,...,b n ) (a 1,...,a n )} and consider P(a 1,...,a n ) as a poset ordered by proper divisibility. It has a unique minimal element 0 = (0,...,0) and a unique maximal element 1 = (a 1,...,a n ). Hence it is bounded.

12 For an arbitrary(a 1,...,a n ) N n, we set P(a 1,...,a n ) = {(b 1,...,b n ) N n : (b 1,...,b n ) (a 1,...,a n )} and consider P(a 1,...,a n ) as a poset ordered by proper divisibility. It has a unique minimal element 0 = (0,...,0) and a unique maximal element 1 = (a 1,...,a n ). Hence it is bounded.

13 For an arbitrary(a 1,...,a n ) N n, we set P(a 1,...,a n ) = {(b 1,...,b n ) N n : (b 1,...,b n ) (a 1,...,a n )} and consider P(a 1,...,a n ) as a poset ordered by proper divisibility. It has a unique minimal element 0 = (0,...,0) and a unique maximal element 1 = (a 1,...,a n ). Hence it is bounded.

14 Order complex We study P(a 1,...,a n ) from a geometric perspective. We associate to P(a 1,...,a n ) its order complex (P(a 1,...,a n )) which is the simplicial complex consisting of all chains in P(a 1,...,a n )\{ 0, 1}.

A maximal chain 0 = p0 p 1 p i+1 p i+2 = 1 in P is called falling if λ(p 0 p 1 ) > > λ(p r 1 p r ). Theorem (Björner, Wachs, 1996) If a bounded poset P is CLshellable, then rank H i ( (P);Z) = #falling chains of length i + 2 in P. We first describe explicitly the structure of falling chains in terms of the CL-labeling that we defined. This is a key step for all following results.
48 2.1 Persistence of the homology of (P(a, b)) A remarkable property of these posets is the persistence of the homology, which is rarely observed in naturally defined posets.
49 2.1 Persistence of the homology of (P(a, b)) A remarkable property of these posets is the persistence of the homology, which is rarely observed in naturally defined posets. Proposition (BMVW) For all 2 a b, there exists an integer t (a,b) 0, which depends on a and b, such that H i ( ( P(a, b);z )) 0 if and only if 0 i t(a,b). For every 1 i t (a,b), we show the existence of a falling chain of length i + 2.

Proposition (BMVW) For all 2 a b, there exists an integer t (a,b) 0, which depends on a and b, such that H i ( ( P(a, b);z )) 0 if and only if 0 i t(a,b). For every 1 i t (a,b), we show the existence of a falling chain of length i + 2. Example Let a = 6.

51 2.2 Contractibility Theorem (Björner, Wachs, 1997) Let P 1, P 2 be bounded posets such that (P 1 ) and (P 2 ) are non-empty and shellable. Then
52 2.2 Contractibility Theorem (Björner, Wachs, 1997) Let P 1, P 2 be bounded posets such that (P 1 ) and (P 2 ) are non-empty and shellable. Then (P 1 P 2 ) is shellable, H i ( (P 1 P 2 );Z) = j+k=i 2 H j ( (P 1 );Z) H k ( (P 2 );Z). In particular, (P 1 P 2 ) has torsion-free homology.
53 2.2 Contractibility Theorem (Björner, Wachs, 1997) Let P 1, P 2 be bounded posets such that (P 1 ) and (P 2 ) are non-empty and shellable. Then (P 1 P 2 ) is shellable, H i ( (P 1 P 2 );Z) = j+k=i 2 H j ( (P 1 );Z) H k ( (P 2 );Z). In particular, (P 1 P 2 ) has torsion-free homology. The order complex of the poset of all divisors of(a 1,...,a n ) (divisibility poset) is shellable. If a i 2 for some i, then it has trivial homology. Hence it is contractible and, indeed, collapsible.
54 Proposition Let 2 a b. Then (P(a, b)) is contractible if and only if a = b = 3. Moreover, (P(3, 3)) is collapsible.
55 Proposition Let 2 a b. Then (P(a, b)) is contractible if and only if a = b = 3. Moreover, (P(3, 3)) is collapsible. Proof. It follows from the previous Proposition.

56 2.3 Ranks of the homology groups of (P(a, b)) Theorem (BMVW) Let 2 a b and 0 i a 2. Then ( )[( )( ) ( )( )] rank H ( ( ) ) i a 3 i i b 2 i i b 3 i i P(a, b) ;Z = 2 +, t 1 t i t t 1 i t t=0 where we assume ( 1) = 1 by convention.
57 2.3 Ranks of the homology groups of (P(a, b)) Theorem (BMVW) Let 2 a b and 0 i a 2. Then ( )[( )( ) ( )( )] rank H ( ( ) ) i a 3 i i b 2 i i b 3 i i P(a, b) ;Z = 2 +, t 1 t i t t 1 i t t=0 where we assume ( 1) = 1 by convention. Idea of the proof. Every falling chain in P(a, b) contains exactly one of the elements (1, 1),(1, 0) and(0, 1).
58 2.3 Ranks of the homology groups of (P(a, b)) Theorem (BMVW) Let 2 a b and 0 i a 2. Then ( )[( )( ) ( )( )] rank H ( ( ) ) i a 3 i i b 2 i i b 3 i i P(a, b) ;Z = 2 +, t 1 t i t t 1 i t t=0 where we assume ( 1) = 1 by convention. Idea of the proof. Every falling chain in P(a, b) contains exactly one of the elements (1, 1),(1, 0) and(0, 1). Hence rank H i ( ( P(a, b) ) ;Z ) = F (1,1) + F (1,0) + F (0,1), where F (c,d) denotes the number of falling chains in P(a, b) of length i + 2 containing the element(c, d).
59 2.3 Ranks of the homology groups of (P(a, b)) Theorem (BMVW) Let 2 a b and 0 i a 2. Then ( )[( )( ) ( )( )] rank H ( ( ) ) i a 3 i i b 2 i i b 3 i i P(a, b) ;Z = 2 +, t 1 t i t t 1 i t t=0 where we assume ( 1) = 1 by convention. Idea of the proof. Every falling chain in P(a, b) contains exactly one of the elements (1, 1),(1, 0) and(0, 1). Hence rank H i ( ( P(a, b) ) ;Z ) = F (1,1) + F (1,0) + F (0,1), where F (c,d) denotes the number of falling chains in P(a, b) of length i + 2 containing the element(c, d). In order to compute each of these three contributions, we count the number of certain compositions.
60 2.3 Ranks of the homology groups of (P(a, b)) Theorem (BMVW) Let 2 a b and 0 i a 2. Then ( )[( )( ) ( )( )] rank H ( ( ) ) i a 3 i i b 2 i i b 3 i i P(a, b) ;Z = 2 +, t 1 t i t t 1 i t t=0 where we assume ( 1) = 1 by convention. Idea of the proof. Every falling chain in P(a, b) contains exactly one of the elements (1, 1),(1, 0) and(0, 1). Hence rank H i ( ( P(a, b) ) ;Z ) = F (1,1) + F (1,0) + F (0,1), where F (c,d) denotes the number of falling chains in P(a, b) of length i + 2 containing the element(c, d). In order to compute each of these three contributions, we count the number of certain compositions. Both vanishing and persistence of the homology do not follow directly from this result.
