Title: Almost Buchsbaumness of some rings arising from complexes with isolated singularities,
Abstract: We study properties of the Stanley-Reisner rings of simplicial complexes with
isolated singularities modulo two generic linear forms. Miller, Novik, and
Swartz proved that if a complex has homologically isolated singularities, then
its Stanley-Reisner ring modulo one generic linear form is Buchsbaum. Here we
examine the case of non-homologically isolated singularities, providing many
examples in which the Stanley-Reisner ring modulo two generic linear forms is a
quasi-Buchsbaum but not Buchsbaum ring.
