Homological shifts of powers a complementary edge ideal
Abstract
The homological shift algebra and the projective dimension function of complementary edge ideals are investigated. Let be a connected graph, and let be its complementary edge ideal. For bipartite graphs , we show that the projective dimension of increases strictly with until reaching its maximum value. For trees and cycles, explicit expressions for the projective dimension of are provided, along with detailed descriptions of their homological shift algebras. In particular, it is shown that the -th homological shift algebra of such ideals is generated in degree at most . Additionally, we prove that if is a tree, then the homological shift ideal , when divided by a suitable monomial, becomes a Veronese-type ideal, and every Veronese-type ideal arises in this manner.
