Abstract

A numerical characterization is given of the h-triangles of sequentially Cohen- Macaulay simplicial complexes. This result determines the number of faces of various dimensions and codimensions that are possible in such a complex, generalizing the classical Macaulay-Stanley theorem to the nonpure case. Moreover, we characterize the possible Betti tables of componentwise linear ideals. A key tool in our investigation is a bijection between shifted multicomplexes of degree ≤d and shifted pure .d -1/-dimensional simplicial complexes.
