On powers of the cover ideals of graphs

Abstract

For a simple graph GG, assume that J(G)J(G) is the vertex cover ideal of GG and J(G)(s)J(G)^{(s)} is the ss-th symbolic power of J(G)J(G). We prove that (J(C)(s))=(J(C)s)(J(C)^{(s)})=(J(C)^s) for all s1s\geq 1 and for all odd cycle CC. For a simplicial complex Δ\Delta, we show that Δ\Delta is vertex decomposable if IΔI_{\Delta}^{\vee} is weakly polymatroidal. Let W=GπW=G^{\pi} be a fully clique-whiskering graph, we prove that J(W)sJ(W)^s is weakly polymatroidal for all s1s\geq 1.
