Sequentially Cohen-Macaulay bipartite graphs: vertex decomposability and regularity

Commutative Algebra 2009-06-02 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

Let G be a bipartite graph with edge ideal I(G) whose quotient ring R/I(G) is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay. We prove: (1) the independence complex of G must be vertex decomposable, and (2) the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of R/I(G) can be determined from the invariants of G.
