Describing minimal generating sets of toric ideals is a well-studied and difficult problem. Neil White conjectured in 1980 that the toric ideal associated to a matroid is generated by quadrics corresponding to single element symmetric…
This paper investigates the symbolic powers of toric ideals. We first describe them in terms of the kernel of certain linear maps derived from the lattice structure of the toric ideal. Furthermore, we apply our results to show that symbolic…
We introduce the notion of sortability and $t$-sortability for a simplicial complex and study the graphs for which their independence complexes are either sortable or $t$-sortable. We show that the proper interval graphs are precisely the…
The total Betti numbers of the toric ideal of a simple graph are, in general, highly sensitive to any small change of the graph. In this paper we look at some combinatorial operations that cause total Betti numbers to change in predictable…
We introduce a class of ideals generated by a set of 2-minors of $m\times n$-matrix of indeterminates indexed by a pair of graphs. This class of ideals is a natural common generalization of binomial edge ideals and ideals generated by…
We introduce and study the weighted $r$-path ideal of a weighted graph $G_\omega$, which is a common generalization of Conca and De Negri's $r$-path ideal for unweighted graphs and Paulsen and Sather-Wagstaff's edge ideal of the weighted…
Let ${\cal G}=(G,w)$ be a weighted simple finite connected graph, that is, let $G$ be a simple finite connected graph endowed with a function $w$ from the set of the edges of $G$ to the set of real numbers. For any subgraph $G'$ of $G$, we…
We introduce binomial edge ideals attached to a simple graph $G$ and study their algebraic properties. We characterize those graphs for which the quadratic generators form a Gr\"obner basis in a lexicographic order induced by a vertex…
In this paper, we study toric ideals associated with multichains of posets. It is shown that the comparability graph of a poset is chordal if and only if there exists a quadratic Gr\"obner basis of the toric ideal of the poset. Strong…
We consider standard graded toric rings $R_{\Delta}$ whose generators correspond to the faces of a simplicial complex $\Delta$. When $R_{\Delta}$ is normal, it is shown that its divisor class group is free. For a flag complex $\Delta$ which…
A total weighting of a graph $G$ is a mapping $f$ which assigns to each element $z \in V(G) \cup E(G)$ a real number $f(z)$ as its weight. The vertex sum of $v$ with respect to $f$ is $\phi_f(v)=\sum_{e \in E(v)}f(e)+f(v)$. A total…
A celebrated theorem of Fr\"oberg gives a complete combinatorial classification of quadratic square-free monomial ideals with a linear resolution. A generalization of this theorem to higher degree square-free monomial ideals is an active…
We first characterise graphs with binomial edge ideals of K\"onig type as those for which the path covering number is equal to a minor variant of the scattering number. These are well-studied graph-theoretic invariants, allowing us to apply…
In this paper we provide some exact formulas for the projective dimension and the regularity of edge ideals of vertex-weighted oriented unicyclic graphs. These formulas are in function of the weight of the vertices, the numbers of edges. We…
Let $G$ be a simple graph on the vertex set $V(G) = [n] = \{1,...,n\}$ and edge ideal $E(G)$. We consider the class of closed graphs. A closed graph is a simple graph satisfying the following property: for all edges $\{i, j\}$ and $\{k,…
We consider complete graphs with edge weights and/or node weights taking values in some set. In the first part of this paper, we show that a large number of graphs are completely determined, up to isomorphism, by the distribution of their…
A graph $G=(V,E)$ is total weight $(k,k')$-choosable if the following holds: For any list assignment $L$ which assigns to each vertex $v$ a set $L(v)$ of $k$ real numbers, and assigns to each edge $e$ a set $L(e)$ of $k'$ real numbers,…
Certain weight-based orders on the free associative algebra $R = k<x_1, ..., x_t >$ can be specified by $t \times \infty$ arrays whose entries come from the subring of nonnegative elements in a totally ordered field. Such an array $A$…
In 1980, White conjectured that the toric ideal associated to a matroid is generated by binomials corresponding to a symmetric exchange. In this paper, we prove that classes of matroids for which the toric ideal is generated by quadrics and…
We address problem of determining edge weights on a graph using non-backtracking closed walks from a vertex. We show that the weights of all of the edges can be determined from any starting vertex exactly when the graph has minimum degree…
