We prove several cases of the Betti number conjecture for the binomial edge ideal $J_G$ of a proper interval graph $G$ (also known as closed graph). Namely, we show that this conjecture is true for the linear strand of $J_G$, and true in…

We first construct the total simplicial complex (TSC) of a finite simple graph $G$ in order to generalize the total graph $T(G)$. We show that $\Delta_T(G)$ is not Cohen-Macaulay (CM) in general. For a connected graph $G$, we prove that the…

Given a simplicial complex we associate to it a squarefree monomial ideal which we call the face ideal of the simplicial complex, and show that it has linear quotients. It turns out that its Alexander dual is a whisker complex. We apply…

Let $G$ be a graph on the vertex set $[n]$ and $J_G$ the associated binomial edge ideal in the polynomial ring $S=\mathbb{K}[x_1,\ldots,x_n,y_1,\ldots,y_n]$. In this paper we investigate the depth of binomial edge ideals. More precisely, we…

Let G be a bipartite graph with edge ideal I(G) whose quotient ring R/I(G) is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay. We prove: (1) the independence complex of G must be vertex decomposable, and (2) the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of R/I(G) can be…

For a simplicial complex $\Delta$, we introduce a simplicial complex attached to $\Delta$, called the expansion of $\Delta$, which is a natural generalization of the notion of expansion in graph theory. We are interested in knowing how the…

Let $m_{12}$, $m_{13}$, ..., $m_{n-1,n}$ be the slopes of the $\binom{n}{2}$ lines connecting $n$ points in general position in the plane. The ideal $I_n$ of all algebraic relations among the $m_{ij}$ defines a configuration space called…

Let $G$ be a connected and simple graph on the vertex set $[n]$. To the graph $G$ one can associate the generalized binomial edge ideal $J_{m}(G)$ in the polynomial ring $R=K[x_{ij}: i \in [m], j \in [n]]$. We provide a lower bound for the…

We present criteria for the Cohen-Macaulayness of a monomial ideal in terms of its primary decomposition. These criteria allow us to use tools of graph theory and of linear programming to study the Cohen-Macaulayness of monomial ideals…

In this paper we study the quasi-forest simplicial complexes and we define the concept of simplicial $k$-cycle (denoted by $\mathcal{S}_k$) and simplicial $k$-point (denoted by $\mathcal{P}_k$). We show that a simplicial complex $\Delta$ is…

Let $S=K[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over a field $K$ and $I\subset S$ be a squarefree monomial ideal generated in degree $n-2$. Motivated by the remarkable behavior of the powers of $I$ when $I$ admits a linear resolution, as…

We discuss algebraic and homological properties of binomial edge ideals associated to graphs which are obtained by gluing of subgraphs and the formation of cones.

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 graph-theoretically characterize triangle-free Gorenstein graphs $G$. As an application, we classify when $I(G)^2$ is Cohen-Macaulay.

Let $\Delta$ be a one-dimensional simplicial complex. Let $I_\Delta$ be the Stanley-Reisner ideal of $\Delta$. We prove that for all $s \ge 1$ and all intermediate ideals $J$ generated by $I_\Delta^s$ and some minimal generators of…

For positive integers $d<n$, let $[n]_d=\{A\in 2^{[n]}\mid |A|=d\}$ where $[n]=:\{1,2,\ldots, n\}$. For a pure $f$-simplicial complex $\Delta$ such that ${\rm dim}(\Delta)={\rm dim}(\Delta^c)$ and $\mathcal{F}(\Delta)\cap…

Let $G$ be a finite group and construct a graph $\Delta(G)$ by taking $G\setminus\{1\}$ as the vertex set of $\Delta(G)$ and by drawing an edge between two vertices $x$ and $y$ if $\langle x,y\rangle$ is cyclic. Let $K(G)$ be the set…

We study the regularity of symbolic powers of square-free monomial ideals. We prove that if $I = I_\Delta$ is the Stanley-Reisner ideal of a simplicial complex $\Delta$, then $\reg(I^{(n)}) \leqslant \delta(n-1) +b$ for all $n\geqslant 1$,…

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…

This paper studies a class of binomial ideals associated to graphs with finite vertex sets. They generalize the binomial edge ideals, and they arise in the study of conditional independence ideals. A Gr\"obner basis can be computed by…
