Flag complex face structures and decompositions
Abstract: We consider how $f$-vectors of Cohen--Macaulay and vertex decomposable flag complexes in geometric settings decompose and interact with geometric transformations. This includes subdivisions of simplicial complexes and explicit equations connecting them to $f$-vectors. Applications from this approach include positivity properties of polynomials built out of simplicial complexes lying between unimodality and real-rootedness.
