Summary: This paper shows that the simplicial type of a finite simplicial complex $K$ is determined by its algebra $A$ of polynomial functions on the baricentric coordinates with coefficients in any integral domain. The link between $K$ and $A$ is done through certain admissible matrix associated to $K$ in a natural way. This result was obtained for the real numbers by I. V. Savel’ev [5], using methods of real algebraic geometry. D. Kan and E. Miller had shown in [2] that $A$ determines the homotopy type of the polyhedron associated to $K$ and not only its rational homotopy type as it was previously proved by D. Sullivan in [6]. (English)
