f-polynomials, h-polynomials and l2-Euler characteristics

We introduce a many-variable version of the f-polynomial and h-polynomial associated to a finite simplicial complex. In this context the h-polynomial is actually a rational function. We establish connections with the l2-Euler characteristic of right-angled buildings. When L is a triangulation of a s...

Sumario:We introduce a many-variable version of the f-polynomial and h-polynomial associated to a finite simplicial complex. In this context the h-polynomial is actually a rational function. We establish connections with the l2-Euler characteristic of right-angled buildings. When L is a triangulation of a sphere we obtain a new formula for the l2-Euler characteristic.
