The edge rings of compact graphs

Commutative Algebra 2024-05-08 v2

Abstract

We define a simple graph as compact if it lacks even cycles and satisfies the odd-cycle condition. Our focus is on classifying all compact graphs and examining the characteristics of their edge rings. Let GG be a compact graph and K[G]\mathbb{K}[G] be its edge ring. Specifically, we demonstrate that the Cohen-Macaulay type and the projective dimension of K[G]\mathbb{K}[G] are both equal to the number of induced cycles of GG minus one, and that the regularity of K[G]\mathbb{K}[G] is equal to the matching number of G0G_0. Here, G0G_0 is obtained from GG by removing the vertices of degree one successively, resulting in a graph where every vertex has a degree greater than 1.
