We introduce the concept of matching powers of monomial ideals. Let $I$ be a monomial ideal of $S=K[x_1,\dots,x_n]$, with $K$ a field. The $k$th matching power of $I$ is the monomial ideal $I^{[k]}$ generated by the products $u_1\cdots u_k$…
A graph $G$ is said to be chordal if it has no induced cycles of length four or more. In a recent preprint Culbertson, Guralnik, and Stiller give a new characterization of chordal graphs in terms of sequences of what they call…
We introduce the notion of sortability and $t$-sortability for a simplicial complex and study the graphs for which their independence complexes are either sortable or $t$-sortable. We show that the proper interval graphs are precisely the…
We define a new combinatorial object, which we call a labeled hypergraph, uniquely associated to any square-free monomial ideal. We prove several upper bounds on the regularity of a square-free monomial ideal in terms of simple…
In this paper it is shown that a sortable ideal $I$ is Freiman if and only if its sorted graph is chordal. This characterization is used to give a complete classification of Freiman principal Borel ideals and of Freiman Veronese type ideals…
We introduce a class of chordal graphs called ($d_1$,$d_2$,$\dots$,$d_q$)-trees. A graph belongs to this class if and only if its clique complex is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay, providing a complete classification of all sequentially…
We introduce a new class of structured symmetric matrices by extending the notion of perfect elimination ordering from graphs to weighted graphs or matrices. This offers a common framework capturing common vertex elimination orderings of…
We introduce and investigate generalizations of interval and proper interval graphs to simplicial complexes, including strong interval, unit interval, and under closed variants. Through equivalent combinatorial and algebraic…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition on a homogeneous polynomial ideal for its Taylor complex to be exact. Then we give a combinatorial construction of a minimal resolution for ideals satisfying the above condition (in particular…
In this paper, we extend a result of Eisenbud-Reeves-Totaro in the frame of ideals of Borel type. As a consequence, we obtain a linear upper bound for the regularity of a new class of ideals, called $\mathcal D$-fixed ideals.
In this article we study the Golod property of standard graded algebras. We show that determinantal ideals, binomial edge ideals, and permanental ideals are Golod if and only if they have a linear resolution. Next, we give a…
In this paper we develop combinatorial techniques for the case of string algebras with the aim to give a characterization of string complexes with infinite minimal projective resolution. These complexes will be called \textit{periodic…
There are many connections between the invariants of the different powers of an ideal. We investigate how to construct minimal resolutions for all powers at once using methods from algebraic and polyhedral topology with a focus on ideals…
In this paper we study the normality of monomial ideals using linear programming and graph theory. We give normality criteria for monomial ideals, for ideals generated by monomials of degree two, and for edge ideals of graphs and clutters…
We introduce the concept of edgewise domination in clutters, and use it to provide an upper bound for the projective dimension of any squarefree monomial ideal. We then use a simple recursion to recover a formula for the projective…
We study the question of whether, for a given class of finite graphs, one can define, for each graph of the class, a linear ordering in monadic second-order logic, possibly with the help of monadic parameters. We consider two variants of…
We study the licci property for several classes of squarefree monomial ideals arising from graphs and related combinatorial structures. We characterize licci bi-Cohen-Macaulay squarefree monomial ideals, complementary edge ideals, $t$-path…
Let $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over a field $K$, and let $A$ be a finitely generated standard graded $S$-algebra. We show that if the defining ideal of $A$ has a quadratic initial ideal, then all the graded components of…
We give a new combinatorial characterization of the big height of a squarefree monomial ideal leading to a new bound for the projective dimension of a monomial ideal.
This paper is concerned with the combinatorial description of the graded minimal free resolution of certain monomial algebras which includes toric rings. Concretely, we explicitly describe how the graded minimal free resolution of those…
