On the index of powers of edge ideals

Commutative Algebra 2021-03-17 v2

Abstract

The index of a graded ideal measures the number of linear steps in the graded minimal free resolution of the ideal. In this paper we study the index of powers and squarefree powers of edge ideals. Our results indicate that the index as a function of the power of an edge ideal II is strictly increasing if II has linear relations. Examples show that this need not to be the case for monomial ideals generated in degree greater than two.
