We prove two recent conjectures on some upper bounds for the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the binomial edge ideals of some different classes of graphs. We prove the conjecture of Matsuda and Murai for graphs which has a cut edge or a…
We raise some questions about graph polynomials, highlighting concepts and phenomena that may merit consideration in the development of a general theory. Our questions are mainly of three types: When do graph polynomials have reduction…
This paper studies the zero-divisor graphs attached to several finite chain-ring families and computes the homological invariants of their edge ideals by using cochordal constructible systems. We begin with a general layered graph $C(q,L)$,…
In this paper, we study the genera of zero-divisor graphs with respect to ideals in finite rings.
Let $G$ be a connected graph and let $I(G)$ denote its edge ideal. We classify when $I(G)^n$, for $n \ge 1$, admits a minimal Lyubeznik resolution. We also give a characterization for when $I(G)^n$ is bridge-friendly, which, in turn,…
Minimal cellular resolutions of the edge ideals of cointerval hypergraphs are constructed. This class of d-uniform hypergraphs coincides with the complements of interval graphs (for the case d=2), and strictly contains the class of…
We investigate the analytic spread of binomial edge ideals of finite simple graphs. We provide tight bounds for this invariant in general. For special families of graphs (e.g., closed graphs, pseudo-forests), we compute the exact value for…
We study varieties associated to hypergraphs from the point of view of projective geometry and matroid theory. We describe their decompositions into matroid varieties, which may be reducible and can have arbitrary singularities by the…
Let $I_1,\dots,I_n$ be ideals generated by linear forms in a polynomial ring over an infinite field and let $J = I_1 \cdots I_n$. We describe a minimal free resolution of $J$ and show that it is supported on a polymatroid obtained from the…
We study monomial ideals with linear presentation or partially linear resolution. We give combinatorial characterizations of linear presentation for square-free ideals of degree 3, and for primary ideals whose resolutions are linear except…
The mutually enriching relationship between graphs and matroids has motivated discoveries in both fields. In this paper, we exploit the similar relationship between embedded graphs and delta-matroids. There are well-known connections…
Call a monomial ideal M "generic" if no variable appears with the same nonzero exponent in two distinct monomial generators. Using a convex polytope first studied by Scarf, we obtain a minimal free resolution of M. Any monomial ideal M can…
Let $G$ be a simple graph and $I(G)$ be its edge ideal. In this article, we study the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of symbolic powers of edge ideals of join of graphs. As a consequence, we prove Minh's conjecture for wheel graphs,…
Minimal free resolutions of graded modules over a noetherian polynomial ring have been attractive objects of interest for more than a hundred years. We introduce and study two natural extensions in the setting of graded modules over a…
We introduce to the context of multigraded modules the methods of modules over categories from algebraic topology and homotopy theory. We develop the basic theory quite generally, with a view toward future applications to a wide class of…
Baker and Norine initiated the study of graph divisors as a graph-theoretic analogue of the Riemann-Roch theory for Riemann surfaces. One of the key concepts of graph divisor theory is the {\it rank} of a divisor on a graph. The importance…
In this paper we study unimodality problems for the independence polynomial of a graph, including unimodality, log-concavity and reality of zeros. We establish recurrence relations and give factorizations of independence polynomials for…
We give a combinatorial polynomial-time algorithm to find a maximum weight independent set in perfect graphs of bounded degree that do not contain a prism or a hole of length four as an induced subgraph. An even pair in a graph is a pair of…
The divisorial gonality of a graph is the minimum degree of a positive rank divisor on that graph. We introduce the multiplicity-free gonality of a graph, which restricts our consideration to divisors that place at most \(1\) chip on each…
Let I(G) be the edge ideal associated to a simple graph G. We study the graded Betti numbers that appear in the linear strand of the minimal free resolution of I(G).
