Abstract

In this paper, we study the componentwise linearity of edge ideals of weighted oriented graphs. We show that if DD is a weighted oriented graph whose edge ideal I(D)I(D) is componentwise linear, then the underlying simple graph GG of DD is co-chordal. This is an analogue of Fr\"oberg's theorem for weighted oriented graphs. We give combinatorial characterizations of componentwise linearity of I(D)I(D) if V+V^+ are sinks or V+1\vert V^+ \vert\leq 1. Furthermore, if GG is chordal or bipartite or V+V^+ are sinks or V+1\vert V^+ \vert\leq 1, then we show the following equivalence for I(D)I(D): Vertex splittableLinear quotientComponentwise linear. \text{Vertex splittable}\,\, \Longleftrightarrow\,\, \text{Linear quotient}\,\, \Longleftrightarrow\,\, \text{Componentwise linear}.
