It is shown that if the binomial edge ideal of a graph $G$ defines a Koszul algebra, then $G$ must be chordal and claw free. A converse of this statement is proved for a class of chordal and claw free graphs.
As the binomial edge ideal of a graph is always generated by homogeneous quadratic polynomials corresponding to the edges of the graph, the question of when a binomial edge ideal defines a Koszul algebra has been studied by many authors…
We study the Koszul property of a standard graded $K$-algebra $R$ defined by the binomial edge ideal of a pair of graphs $(G_1,G_2)$. We show that the following statements are equivalent: (i) $R$ is Koszul; (ii) the defining ideal…
We classify the finite connected simple graphs whose edge rings are strongly Koszul. From the classification, it follows that if the edge ring is strongly Koszul, then its toric ideal possesses a quadratic Gr\"obner basis.
Let $G$ be a simple graph on the vertex set $V(G) = [n] = \{1,...,n\}$ and edge ideal $E(G)$. We consider the class of closed graphs. A closed graph is a simple graph satisfying the following property: for all edges $\{i, j\}$ and $\{k,…
We show that the graded maximal ideal of a graded $K$-algebra $R$ has linear quotients for a suitable choice and order of its generators if the defining ideal of $R$ has a quadratic Gr\"obner basis with respect to the reverse lexicographic…
We make some observations on binomial edge ideals, with the characterization of their Koszulness as motivation. Inspired by results of Ene, Herzog and Hibi, we discuss building Koszul graphs from smaller pieces in a controlled manner. We…
For R=Q/J with Q a commutative graded algebra over a field and J non-zero, we relate the slopes of the minimal resolutions of R over Q and of k=R/R_{+} over R. When Q and R are Koszul and J_1=0 we prove Tor^Q_i(R,k)_j=0 for j>2i, for each…
In this paper, we show that every $(2P_2,K_4)$-free graph is 4-colorable. The bound is attained by the five-wheel and the complement of the seven-cycle. This answers an open question by Wagon \cite{Wa80} in the 1980s. Our result can also be…
Associated to any uniform finite layered graph Gamma there is a noncommutative graded quadratic algebra A(Gamma) given by a construction due to Gelfand, Retakh, Serconek and Wilson. It is natural to ask when these algebras are Koszul.…
Several constructive homological methods based on noncommutative Gr\"obner bases are known to compute free resolutions of associative algebras. In particular, these methods relate the Koszul property for an associative algebra to the…
The algebra of basic covers of a graph G, denoted by \A(G), was introduced by Juergen Herzog as a suitable quotient of the vertex cover algebra. In this paper we show that if the graph is bipartite then \A(G) is a homogeneous algebra with…
Let F be a finite field. We prove that the cohomology algebra with coefficients in F of a right-angled Artin group is a strongly Koszul algebra for every finite graph ${\Gamma}$. Moreover, the same algebra is a universally Koszul algebra…
Quadratic algebras associated to graphs have been introduced by I. Gelfand, S. Gelfand, and Retakh in connection with decompositions of noncommutative polynomials. Here we show that, for each graph with rare triangular subgraphs, the…
This work concerns the study of properties of a group of Koszul algebras coming from the toric ideals of a chordal bipartite infinite family of graphs (alternately, these rings may be interpreted as coming from determinants of certain…
This paper shows among other things that over a non-commutative Koszul algebra, high truncations of finitely generated graded modules have linear free resolutions.
Tuza famously conjectured in 1981 that in a graph without k+1 edge-disjoint triangles, it suffices to delete at most 2k edges to obtain a triangle-free graph. The conjecture holds for graphs with small treewidth or small maximum average…
Let $I(G)$ be the edge ideal of a simple graph $G$. We prove that $I(G)^2$ has a linear free resolution if and only if $G$ is gap-free and reg$I(G) \le 3$. Similarly, we show that $I(G)^3$ has a linear free resolution if and only if $G$ is…
In math.QA/0506507 I. Gelfand and the authors introduced and studied a new class of algebras associated to directed graphs. In this paper we show that these algebras are Koszul for a large class of layered (i.e. ranked) graphs.
We define a local homomorphism $(Q,k)\to (R,\ell)$ to be Koszul if its derived fiber $R \otimes^{\mathsf{L}}_Q k$ is formal, and if $\operatorname{Tor}^Q(R,k)$ is Koszul in the classical sense. This recovers the classical definition when…
