The path ideal (of length t >=2) of a graph G is the monomial ideal, denoted I_t(G), whose generators correspond to the directed paths of length t in G. We study some of the algebraic properties of I_t(G) when G is a tree. We first show…

To a simplicial complex, we associate a square-free monomial ideal in the polynomial ring generated by its vertex set over a field. We study algebraic properties of this ideal via combinatorial properties of the simplicial complex. By…

Let $I$ be the edge ideal of a Cohen-Macaulay tree of dimension $d$ over a polynomial ring $S = \mathrm{k}[x_1,\ldots,x_{d},y_1,\ldots,y_d]$. We prove that for all $t \ge 1$, $$\operatorname{depth} (S/I^t) = \operatorname{max} \{d -t + 1, 1…

Let $R=k[x_{1},\ldots,x_{n}]$, where $k$ is a field. The path ideal (of length $t\geq 2$) of a directed graph $G$ is the monomial ideal, denoted by $I_{t}(G)$, whose generators correspond to the directed paths of length $t$ in $G$. Let…

Let $I(\Delta)^{[k]}$ denote the $k^{\text{th}}$ square-free power of the facet ideal of a simplicial complex $\Delta$ in a polynomial ring $R$. Square-free powers are intimately related to the `Matching Theory' and `Ordinary Powers'. In…

Let $I$ be a monomial squarefree ideal of a polynomial ring $S$ over a field $K$ such that the sum of every three different of its minimal prime ideals is the maximal ideal of $S$, or more general a constant ideal. We associate to $I$ a…

For each squarefree monomial ideal $I\subset S = k[x_{1},\ldots, x_{n}] $, we associate a simple graph $G_I$ by using the first linear syzygies of $I$. In cases, where $G_I$ is a cycle or a tree, we show the following are equivalent: (a) $…

Let $I$ be a monomial ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring $R = k[x_1,...,x_r]$. In this paper we give an upper bound on $\overline{\dstab} (I)$ in terms of $r$ and the maximal generating degree $d(I)$ of $I$ such that $\depth R/\overline{I^n}$…

We consider the fiber cone of monomial ideals. It is shown that for monomial ideals $I\subset K[x,y]$ of height $2$, generated by $3$ elements, the fiber cone $F(I)$ of $I$ is a hypersurface ring, and that $F(I)$ has positive depth for…

Let $I\supsetneq J$ be two square free monomial ideals of a polynomial algebra over a field generated in degree $\geq 1$, resp. $\geq 2$ . Almost always when $I$ contains precisely one variable, the other generators having degrees $\geq 2$,…

Inspired by the notion of K\"onig graphs we introduce graded ideals of K\"onig type with respect to a monomial order $<$. It is shown that if $I$ is of K\"onig type, then the Cohen--Macaulay property of $\ini_<(I)$ does not depend on the…

We recall a numerical criteria for Cohen--Macaulayness related to system of parameters, and introduce monomial ideals of K\"onig type which include the edge ideals of K\"onig graphs. We show that a monomial ideal is of K\"onig type if and…
