Degree and regularity of Eulerian ideals of hypergraphs

Abstract

We define the Eulerian ideal of a kk-uniform hypergraph and study its degree and Castelnuovo--Mumford regularity. The main tool is a Gr\"obner basis of the ideal obtained combinatorially from the hypergraph. We define the notion of parity join in a hypergraph and show that the regularity of the Eulerian ideal is equal to the maximum cardinality of such a set of edges. The formula for the degree involves the cardinality of the set of sets of vertices, TT, that admit a TT-join. We compute the degree and regularity explicity in the cases of a complete kk-partite hypergraph and a complete hypergraph of rank 33.
