Abstract

For a graph GG, Postnikov-Shapiro \cite{PS04} construct two ideals IGI_G and JG.J_G. IGI_G is a monomial ideal and JGJ_G is generated by powers of linear forms. They proved the equality of their Hilbert series and conjectured that the graded Betti numbers are equal. When G=Kn+1l,kG=K_{n+1}^{l,k} is the complete graph on the vertices {0,1,,n}\{0,1,\cdots, n\} with the edges ei,j,e_{i, j}, i,j0,i, j\neq 0, of multiplicity kk and the edges e0,ie_{0, i} of multiplicity l,l, for two non-negative integers kk and l,l, they gave an explicit formula for the graded Betti numbers of IG,I_G, which are conjecturally the same for JG.J_G. We prove this conjecture in the case n=3,n=3, which was also conjectured by Schenck \cite{S04}.
