Incidence algebras of simplicial complexes
  With any locally finite partially ordered set $K$ its incidence algebra $\Omega(K)$ is associated. We shall consider algebras over fields with characteristic zero. In this case there is a correspondence $K \leftrightarrow \Omega(K)$ such that the poset $K$ can be reconstructed from its incidence algebra up to an isomorphism -- due to Stanley theorem. In the meantime, a monotone mapping between two posets in general induces no homomorphism of their incidence algebras.   In this paper I show that if the class of posets is confined to simplicial complexes then their incidence algebras acquire the structure of differential moduli and the correspondence $K\leftrightarrow\Omega(K)$ is a contravariant functor.
