Assume that $G$ is a graph with cover ideal $J(G)$. For every integer $k\geq 1$, we denote the $k$-th symbolic power of $J(G)$ by $J(G)^{(k)}$. We provide a sharp upper bound for the regularity of $J(G)^{(k)}$ in terms of the star packing…

We prove that when a Lozin's transformation is applied to a graph, the (Castelnuovo-Mumford) regularity of the graph increases exactly by one, as it happens to its induced matching number. As a consequence, we show that the regularity of a…

For any two integers $d,r \geq 1$, we show that there exists an edge ideal $I(G)$ such that the ${\rm reg}\left(R/I(G)\right)$, the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of $R/I(G)$, is $r$, and ${\rm deg} (h_{R/I(G)}(t))$, the degree of the…

Fix an integer $n \geq 1$, and consider the set of all connected finite simple graphs on $n$ vertices. For each $G$ in this set, let $I(G)$ denote the edge ideal of $G$ in the polynomial ring $R = K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$. We initiate a study of…

Assume that $G$ is a graph with edge ideal $I(G)$ and matching number ${\rm match}(G)$. For every integer $s\geq 1$, we denote the $s$-th squarefree power of $I(G)$ by $I(G)^{[s]}$. It is shown that for every positive integer $s\leq {\rm…

We prove that the projective dimension of any (hyper)graph can be bounded from above by the (Castelnuovo-Mumford) regularity of its Levi graph (or incidence bipartite graph). This in particular brings the use of regularity's upper bounds on…

In this paper, we introduce and generalize some combinatorial invariants of graphs such as matching number and induced matching number to hypergraphs. Then we compare them together and present some upper bounds for the regularity of…

We present new combinatorial insights into the calculation of (Castelnuovo-Mumford) regularity of graphs.

For integers $k \geq 2$ and $n \geq k+1$, we prove the following: If $n\cdot k$ is even, there is a connected $k$-regular graph on $n$ vertices. If $n\cdot k$ is odd, there is a connected nearly $k$-regular graph on $n$ vertices.

Let $I(G)$ be the edge ideal of a bicyclic graph. In this paper, we characterize the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of $I(G)$ in terms of the induced matching number of $G$. For the base case of this family of graphs, i.e. dumbbell graph,…

For all integers $4 \leq r \leq d$, we show that there exists a finite simple graph $G= G_{r,d}$ with toric ideal $I_G \subset R$ such that $R/I_G$ has (Castelnuovo-Mumford) regularity $r$ and $h$-polynomial of degree $d$. To achieve this…

For a given multigraph H, a graph G is H-linked, if |G| \geq |H| and for every injective map {\tau}: V (H) \rightarrow V (G), we can find internally disjoint paths in G, such that every edge from uv in H corresponds to a {\tau} (u) - {\tau}…

A Berge $k$-factor in a hypergraph is a generalization of a $k$-factor in a graph. In this paper, we study the problem of determining the values $k$ such that every $\lambda$-edge-connected $r$-regular hypergraph $\HH$ with $k|V(\HH)|$ even…

Let $G$ and $H$ be two simple graphs and let $G*H$ denotes the graph theoretical product of $G$ by $H$. In this paper we provide some results on graded Betti numbers, Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity, projective dimension, $h$-vector, and…

Let G be a finite simple graph and let indm(G) and ordm(G) denote the induced matching number and the ordered matching number of G, respectively. We characterize all bipartite graphs G with indm(G) = ordm(G). We establish the…

In this paper, we compare the $\mathrm{v}$-numbers and the degree of the $h$-polynomials associated with edge ideals of connected graphs. We prove that the $\mathrm{v}$-number can be arbitrarily larger or smaller than the degree of the…

In this paper we prove the conjectured upper bound for Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of binomial edge ideals posed in [23], in the case of chordal graphs. Indeed, we show that the regularity of any chordal graph G is bounded above by the…

For a positive integer $k$ and a graph $H$ on $k$ vertices, we are interested in the inducibility of $H$, denoted $\mathrm{ind}(H)$, which is defined as the maximum possible probability that choosing $k$ vertices uniformly at random from a…

Let $G$ be a simple graph and let $\nu(G)$ be the matching number of $G$. It is well-known that $\reg I(G) \leqslant \nu(G)+1$. In this paper we show that $\reg I(G) = \nu(G)+1$ if and only if every connected component of $G$ is either a…

We show that the co-chordal cover number of a graph G gives an upper bound for the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the associated edge ideal. Several known combinatorial upper bounds of regularity for edge ideals are then easy…
