In this article, we characterize Cohen-Macaulay permutation graphs. In particular, we show that a permutation graph is Cohen-Macaulay if and only if it is well-covered and there exists a unique way of partitioning its vertex set into $r$…

Let G be the circulant graph C_n(S) with S a subset of {1,2,...,\lfloor n/2 \rfloor}, and let I(G) denote its the edge ideal in the ring R = k[x_1,...,x_n]. We consider the problem of determining when G is Cohen-Macaulay, i.e, R/I(G) is a…

Let $G$ be an unmixed bipartite graph of dimension $d-1$. Assume that $K_{n,n}$, with $n\ge 2$, is a maximal complete bipartite subgraph of $G$ of minimum dimension. Then $G$ is Cohen-Macaulay in codimension $d-n+1$. This generalizes a…

A graph $G$ is well-covered if it has no isolated vertices and all the maximal independent sets have the same cardinality. If furthermore two times this cardinality is equal to $|V(G)|$, the graph $G$ is called very well-covered. The class…

We prove that for all $r\geq2$ and c>0, every graph of order n with at least cn^{r} cliques of order r contains a complete r-partite graph with each part of size $\lfloor c^{r}\log n \rfloor.$ This result implies a concise form of the…

We classify the bipartite graphs $G$ whose binomial edge ideal $J_G$ is Cohen-Macaulay. The connected components of such graphs can be obtained by gluing a finite number of basic blocks with two operations. In this context we prove the…

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph on $n$ vertices and $J_G$ denote the corresponding binomial edge ideal in $S = K[x_1, \ldots, x_n, y_1, \ldots, y_n].$ In this article, we prove that if $G$ is a fan graph of a complete graph, then…

Cohen-Macaulayness of bipartite graphs is investigated by several mathematicians and has been characterized combinatorially. In this note, we give some different combinatorial conditions for a bipartite graph which are equal to…

Let $H$ be a simple undirected graph and $G=\mathrm{L}(H)$ be its line graph. Assume that $\Delta(G)$ denotes the clique complex of $G$. We show that $\Delta(G)$ is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay if and only if it is shellable if and only if…

A combinatorial property that characterizes Cohen-Macaulay binomial edge ideals has long been elusive. A recent conjecture ties the Cohen-Macaulayness of a binomial edge ideal $J_G$ to special disconnecting sets of vertices of its…

In this paper we show that if the Stanley-Reisner ring of the simplicial complex of independent sets of a bipartite graph $G$ satisfies Serre's condition $S_2$, then $G$ is Cohen-Macaulay. As a consequence, the characterization of…

A very well-covered graph is an unmixed graph without isolated vertices such that the height of its edge ideal is half of the number of vertices. We study these graphs by means of Betti splittings and mapping cone constructions. We show…

Suppose that $F$ is a finite field and $R=M_n(F)$ is the ring of $n$-square matrices over $F$. Here we characterize when the Cayley graph of the additive group of $R$ with respect to the set of invertible elements of $R$, called the unitary…

Associated to a simple undirected graph $G$ is a simplicial complex $\Delta_G$ whose faces correspond to the independent sets of $G$. A graph $G$ is called vertex decomposable if $\Delta_G$ is a vertex decomposable simplicial complex. We…

The cut sets of a graph are special sets of vertices whose removal disconnects the graph. They are fundamental in the study of binomial edge ideals, since they encode their minimal primary decomposition. We introduce the class of accessible…

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 $G$ be a compact graph and…

Let $R$ be a finite ring with identity. The unit graph (unitary Cayley graph) of $R$ is the graph with vertex set $R$, where two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent exactly whenever $x+y$ is a unit in $R$ ($x-y$ is a unit in $R$).…

We study two variations of the Gyarfas--Lehel conjecture on the minimum number of monochromatic components needed to cover an edge-coloured complete bipartite graph. Specifically, we show the following. - For p>> (\log n/n)^{1/2},…

It takes $n^2/4$ cliques to cover all the edges of a complete bipartite graph $K_{n/2,n/2}$, but how many cliques does it take to cover all the edges of a graph $G$ if $G$ has no $K_{t,t}$ induced subgraph? We prove that $O(|G|^{2-1/(2t)})$…

The smallest number of cliques, covering all edges of a graph $ G $, is called the (edge) clique cover number of $ G $ and is denoted by $ cc(G) $. It is an easy observation that for every line graph $ G $ with $ n $ vertices, $cc(G)\leq n…
