Let G be the circulant graph C_n(S) with S a subset of {1,2,...,\lfloor n/2 \rfloor}, and let I(G) denote its the edge ideal in the ring R = k[x_1,...,x_n]. We consider the problem of determining when G is Cohen-Macaulay, i.e, R/I(G) is a…

Let $\mathbb{K}[G]$ be the edge ring of a finite simple graph $G$. Investigating properties of the $h$-vector of $\mathbb{K}[G]$ is of great interest in combinatorial commutative algebra. However, there are few families of graphs for which…

We study the class of simple graphs $\mathcal{G}^*$ for which every pair of distinct odd cycles intersect in at most one edge. We give a structural characterization of the graphs in $\mathcal{G}^*$ and prove that every $G \in \mathcal{G}^*$…

Let $D$ be a weighted oriented graph, whose underlying graph is $G$, and let $I(D)$ be its edge ideal. If $G$ has no $3$-, $5$-, or $7$-cycles, or $G$ is K\"{o}nig, we characterize when $I(D)$ is unmixed. If $G$ has no $3$- or $5$-cycles,…

Let $R=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$. We show that if $G$ is a connected graph with a basic $5$-cycle $C$, then $G$ is a sequentially Cohen-Macaulay graph if and only if there exists a shedding…

We study weighted graphs and their "edge ideals" which are ideals in polynomial rings that are defined in terms of the graphs. We provide combinatorial descriptions of m-irreducible decompositions for the edge ideal of a weighted graph in…

Let $G$ be the circulant graph $C_n(S)$ with $S\subseteq\{ 1,\ldots,\left \lfloor\frac{n}{2}\right \rfloor\}$ and let $I(G)$ be its edge ideal in the ring $K[x_0,\ldots,x_{n-1}]$. Under the hypothesis that $n$ is prime we : 1) compute the…

Let $K[G]$ denote the edge ring of a finite connected simple graph $G$ on $[d]$ and $\mat(G)$ the matching number of $G$. It is shown that $\reg(K[G]) \leq \mat(G)$ if $G$ is non-bipartite and $K[G]$ is normal, and that $\reg(K[G]) \leq…

We characterise the form of all simple, finite graphs for which the girth of the graph is equal to the circumference of the graph. We apply this to prove a bound on the number of edges in such a graph.

Let G be a simple undirected graph on n vertices, and let I(G) \subseteq R = k[x_1,...,x_n] denote its associated edge ideal. We show that all chordal graphs G are sequentially Cohen-Macaulay; our proof depends upon showing that the…

We consider a class of graphs $G$ such that the height of the edge ideal $I(G)$ is half of the number $\sharp V(G)$ of the vertices. We give Cohen-Macaulay criteria for such graphs.

Let $G$ be a Cameron--Walker graph on $n$ vertices and $J_G$ the binomial edge ideal of $G$. Let $S$ denote the polynomial ring in $2n$ variables over a field. It is shown that the following conditions are equivalent: (i) $S/J_G$ is…

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph on a vertex set $V(G)=\{x_{11}, \ldots, x_{n1}\}$. Also let $m_1, \ldots,m_n \geq 2$ be integers and $G_1, \ldots, G_n$ be connected simple graphs on the vertex sets $V(G_i)=\{x_{i1}, \ldots, x_{im_i}\}$. In…

Let $G$ be a finite graph and $I(G)$ its edge ideal. We give a full description of the Stanley--Reisner complex of the polarization of $I(G)^2$, naturally introducing the tools of Stanley--Reisner theory in the study of the algebraic…

We classify all graphs $G$ satisfying the property that all matching powers $I(G)^{[k]}$ of the edge ideal $I(G)$ are bi-Cohen-Macaulay for $1\le k\le\nu(G)$, where $\nu(G)$ is the maximum size of a matching of $G$.

The cut sets of a graph are special sets of vertices whose removal disconnects the graph. They are fundamental in the study of binomial edge ideals, since they encode their minimal primary decomposition. We introduce the class of accessible…

We relate homological properties of a binomial edge ideal $\mathcal{J}_G$ to invariants that measure the connectivity of a simple graph $G$. Specifically, we show if $R/\mathcal{J}_G$ is a Cohen-Macaulay ring, then graph toughness of $G$ is…

The Ehrhart ring of the edge polytope $\mathcal{P}_G$ for a connected simple graph $G$ is known to coincide with the edge ring of the same graph if $G$ satisfies the odd cycle condition. This paper gives for a graph which does not satisfy…
