This talk is toward the applications of toric topology in algebraic combinatorics, especially the face enumeration problems for 听triangulated spheres and further for triangulated manifolds.听 A motivational problem is the celebrated g-conjecture in the theory of face enumeration.听
First, we survey how the g-conjecture came about and how it relates to the topology of a class of toric spaces, which can be viewed as a generalization of toric varieties; Using the theory of toric topology we prove some new results towards this conjecture. Finally, we give a topological interpretation for several fundamental results in algebraic combinatorics.
