In commutative invariant theory, a classical result due to Auslander says that if $R = \Bbbk[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ and $G$ is a finite subgroup of $\text{Aut}_{\text{gr}}(R) \cong \text{GL}(n,\Bbbk)$ which contains no reflections, then there is…

The maximum average degree $\mathrm{mad}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the maximum average degree over all subgraphs of $G$. In this paper we prove that for every $G$ and positive integer $k$ such that $\mathrm{mad}(G) \ge k$ there exists $S…

Let $G$ be a $k$-degenerate graph of order $n.$ It is well-known that $G\ $has no more edges than $S_{n,k},$ the join of a complete graph of order $k$ and an independent set of order $n-k.$ In this note it is shown that $S_{n,k}$ is…

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph. We give a lower bound for the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the toric ideal $I_G$ associated to $G$ in terms of the sizes and number of induced complete bipartite graphs in $G$. When $G$ is a chordal…

A graph is edge-distance-regular when it is distance-regular around each of its edges and it has the same intersection numbers for any edge taken as a root. In this paper we give some (combinatorial and algebraic) proofs of the fact that…

Assume that $G$ is a graph with edge ideal $I(G)$ and star packing number $\alpha_2(G)$. We denote the $s$-th symbolic power of $I(G)$ by $I(G)^{(s)}$. It is shown that the inequality ${\rm depth} S/(I(G)^{(s)})\geq \alpha_2(G)-s+1$ is true…

In this paper, we characterize all graphs $G$ satisfying \[\operatorname{reg}(S/J_G)=\ell(G)=c(G)\] where $\ell(G)$ is the sum of the lengths of the longest induced paths in each connected component of $G$ and $c(G)$ is the number of the…

While standard Weisfeiler-Leman vertex labels are not able to distinguish even vertices of regular graphs, there is proposed and tested family of inexpensive polynomial time vertex and edge invariants, distinguishing much more difficult…

A fundamental and challenging problem in spectral graph theory is to characterize which graphs are uniquely determined by their spectra. In Wang [J. Combin. Theory, Ser. B, 122 (2017): 438-451], the author proved that an $n$-vertex graph…

Let $G$ be a simple graph on $n$ vertices and $J_G$ denote the binomial edge ideal of $G$ in the polynomial ring $S = \mathbb{K}[x_1, \ldots, x_n, y_1, \ldots, y_n].$ In this article, we compute the second graded Betti numbers of $J_G$, and…

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph on the vertex set $V(G)$ and let $r$ be a positive integer. We consider the hypergraph $\mathrm{Con}_r(G)$ whose vertices are the vertices of $G$ and the (hyper)edges are all $A\subseteq V(G)$ such that…

Let $G$ be a graph with degree sequence $d_1\geq \ldots \geq d_n$. Slater proposed $s\ell(G)=\min\{ s: (d_1+1)+\cdots+(d_s+1)\geq n\}$ as a lower bound on the domination number $\gamma(G)$ of $G$. We show that deciding the equality of…

We prove asymptotically optimal bounds on the number of edges a graph $G$ must have in order that any $r$-colouring of $E(G)$ has a colour class which contains every $D$-degenerate graph on $n$ vertices with bounded maximum degree. We also…

Let $G$ be a bipartite graph and $I=I(G)$ be its edge ideal. The aim of this note is to investigate different aspects of the Rees algebra $\mathcal{R}(I)$ of $I$. We compute its regularity and the universal Gr\"obner basis of its defining…

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph on $n$ vertices. Let $J_G \subset K[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ be the cover ideal of $G$. In this article, we obtain syzygies, Betti numbers and Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of $J_G^s$ for all $s \geq 1$ for…

The codegree ${\rm codeg}(\mathcal{P})$ of a lattice polytope $\mathcal{P}$ is a fundamental invariant in discrete geometry. In the present paper, we investigate the codegree of the stable set polytope $\mathcal{P}_G$ associated with a…

Let $n\ge 1$ be an integer and $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$ with $q$ elements. In this paper, it is proved that the Wenger graph $W_n(q)$ and linearized Wenger graph $L_m(q)$ are edge-girth-regular…

The $h$-vectors of homogeneous rings are one of the most important invariants that often reflect ring-theoretic properties. On the other hand, there are few examples of edge rings of graphs whose $h$-vectors are explicitly computed. In this…

A dominating set in a graph $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices such that every vertex that does not belong to $S$ is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. The domination number $\gamma(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of $G$. The…

Let $S=K[x_1, \ldots,x_n]$ denote the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ and let $I \subset S$ be a monomial ideal. For a vector $\mathfrak{c}\in\mathbb{N}^n$, we set $I_{\mathfrak{c}}$ to be the ideal generated by monomials…
