Spanning Simplicial Complexes of Uni-Cyclic Graphs.

In this paper, we introduce the concept of the spanning simplicial complex Δs(G) associated to a simple finite connected graph G. We characterize all spanning trees of the uni-cyclic graph Un,m. In particular, we give a formula for computing the Hilbert series and h-vector of the Stanley-Reisner ring k[Δs(Un,m)]. Finally, we prove that the spanning simplicial complex Δs(Un,m) is shifted and hence is shellable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
