We characterize two-dimensional Golod complexes combinatorially by vertex-breakability and topologically by the fat-wedge filtration of a polyhedral product. Applying the characterization, we consider a difference between Golodness over fields and rings, which enables us to give a two-dimensional simple Golod complex over any field such that the corresponding moment-angle complex is not a suspension.

This talk is based on a joint work with D.　Kishimoto.
