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…

Given a tree T on n vertices, there is an associated ideal I of a polynomial ring in n variables over a field, generated by all paths of a fixed length of T. We show that such an ideal always satisfies the Konig property and classify all…

Let $I$ be a monomial ideal of a polynomial ring $R=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ over a field $K$ and let ${\rm sgn}(I)$ be its signature ideal. If $I$ is not a principal ideal, we show that the depth of $R/I$ is the depth of $R/{\rm sgn}(I)$, and…

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) $…

We prove that the set of all paths of a fixed length in a complete multipartite graph is the bases of a matroid. Moreover, we discuss the Cohen-Macaulayness and depth of powers of $t$-path ideals of a complete multipartite graph.
