Abstract

It is well known that the Stanley–Reisner ring of a matroid complex is level; this is an algebraic property between the Cohen–Macaulay and Gorenstein properties. A similar result for broken-circuit complexes is no longer true, even for graphs. We show that the Stanley–Reisner ring of the broken-circuit complex, of the cone of any simple graph, is level.
