Abstract

Let I(G)[k]I(G)^{[k]} denote the kkth squarefree power of the edge ideal of GG. When GG is a forest, we provide a sharp upper bound for the regularity of I(G)[k]I(G)^{[k]} in terms of the kk-admissable matching number of GG. For any positive integer kk, we classify all forests GG such that I(G)[k]I(G)^{[k]} has linear resolution. We also give a combinatorial formula for the regularity of I(G)[2]I(G)^{[2]} for any forest GG.
