Abstract

Let GG be a simple graph on the vertex set V(G)=[n]={1,...,n}V(G) = [n] = \{1,...,n\} and edge ideal E(G)E(G). We consider the class of closed graphs. A closed graph is a simple graph satisfying the following property: for all edges {i,j}\{i, j\} and {k,}\{k, \ell\} with i<ji < j and k<k < \ell one has {j,}E(G)\{j, \ell\}\in E(G) if i=ki = k, and {i,k}E(G)\{i, k\}\in E(G) if j=j = \ell. We state some criteria for the closedness of a graph GG that do not depend necessarily from the labelling of its vertex set. Consequently, if S=K[x1,...,xn,y1,...,yn]S = K[x_1,..., x_n, y_1,..., y_n] is a polynomial ring in 2n2n variables with coefficients in a field KK, we obtain some criteria for the Koszulness of the quotient algebra S/JGS /J_G, where JGJ_G is the binomial edge ideal of SS i.e. the ideal generated by the binomials fij=xiyjxjyif_{ij} = x_iy_j - x_jy_i such that i<ji<j and {i,j}\{i,j\} is an edge of GG (\cite{HH}).
