The slopes determined by n points in the plane | | Jeremy L. Martin

10 Feb 2003 | | Subject: | Algebraic Geometry; Commutative Algebra; Combinatorics MSC-class: 14N20 (Primary) 05C05, 13P10, 14M15 (Secondary) | math.AG math.AC math.CO | | Abstract: | Let $m_{12}$, $m_{13}$, ..., $m_{n-1,n}$ be the slopes of the $inom{n}{2}$ lines connecting $n$ points in general position in the plane. The ideal $I_n$ of all algebraic relations among the $m_{ij}$ defines a configuration space called the {em slope variety of the complete graph}. We prove that $I_n$ is reduced and Cohen-Macaulay, give an explicit Gröbner basis for it, and compute its Hilbert series combinatorially. We proceed chiefly by studying the associated Stanley-Reisner simplicial complex, which has an intricate recursive structure. In addition, we are able to answer many questions about the geometry of the slope variety by translating them into purely combinatorial problems concerning enumeration of trees. | | Source: | arXiv, math.AG/0302106 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
