Every monomial ideal $I$ has a Scarf complex, which is a subcomplex of its minimal free resolution. We say that $I$ is Scarf if its Scarf complex is also its minimal free resolution. In this paper, we fully characterize all pairs $(G,n)$ of…

The $t$-connected ideal of a graph $G$ is generated by all connected induced subgraphs of $G$ with $t$ vertices. When $t = 2$, this coincides with the usual edge ideal of the graph. Following the work of Faridi et al., we give a…

For each squarefree monomial ideal $I\subset S = k[x_{1},\ldots, x_{n}] $, we associate a simple graph $G_I$ by using the first linear syzygies of $I$. In cases, where $G_I$ is a cycle or a tree, we show the following are equivalent: (a) $…

In this article we prove that every toric ideal associated with a gap-free graph $G$ has a squarefree lexicographic initial ideal. Moreover, in the particular case when the complementary graph of $G$ is chordal (i.e. when the edge ideal of…

Let $I(G)^{[k]}$ denote the $k$th squarefree power of the edge ideal of $G$. When $G$ is a forest, we provide a sharp upper bound for the regularity of $I(G)^{[k]}$ in terms of the $k$-admissable matching number of $G$. For any positive…

This paper is concerned with the question of whether geometric structures such as cell complexes can be used to simultaneously describe the minimal free resolutions of all powers of a monomial ideal. We provide a full answer in the case of…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices. For $i\in \{0,1\}$ and a connected graph $G$, a spanning forest $F$ of $G$ is called an $i$-perfect forest if every tree in $F$ is an induced subgraph of $G$ and exactly $i$ vertices of $F$ have even…

Let $I(G)$ be the edge ideal of a simple graph $G$. We prove that $I(G)^2$ has a linear free resolution if and only if $G$ is gap-free and reg$I(G) \le 3$. Similarly, we show that $I(G)^3$ has a linear free resolution if and only if $G$ is…

For a finite simple graph $G$ and an integer $r \ge 1$, the $r$-connected ideal $I_r(G)$ is the squarefree monomial ideal generated by the vertex sets of connected induced subgraphs of size $r+1$, extending the classical edge ideal. We…

As a higher analogue of the edge ideal of a graph, we study the $t$-connected ideal $\operatorname{J}_{t}$. This is the monomial ideal generated by the connected subsets of size $t$. For chordal graphs, we show that $\operatorname{J}_{t}$…

For any finite set $\mathcal{H} = \{H_1,\ldots,H_p\}$ of graphs, a graph is $\mathcal{H}$-subgraph-free if it does not contain any of $H_1,\ldots,H_p$ as a subgraph. In recent work, meta-classifications have been studied: these show that if…

Let $k$ be a field, $ \mathcal{L}\subset \mathbb{Z}^n$ be a lattice such that $\L\cap \mathbb{N}^n=\{{\bf 0}\}$, and $I_\L\subset \Bbbk[x_1,..., x_n]$ the corresponding lattice ideal. We present the generalized Scarf complex of $I_\L$ and…

We use the correspondence between hypergraphs and their associated edge ideals to study the minimal graded free resolution of squarefree monomial ideals. The theme of this paper is to understand how the combinatorial structure of a…

We explore resolutions of monomial ideals supported by simplicial trees. We argue that since simplicial trees are acyclic, the criterion of Bayer, Peeva and Sturmfels for checking if a simplicial complex supports a free resolution of a…

Let $I(G)$ be the edge ideal of a gapfree graph $G$. An open conjecture of Nevo and Peeva states that $I(G)^q$ has linear resolution for $q\gg 0$. We present a promising approach to this challenging conjecture by investigating the stronger…

Extremal ideals are a class of square-free monomial ideals which dominate and determine many algebraic invariants of powers of all square-free monomial ideals. For example, the $r^{th}$ power ${\mathcal{E}_q}^r$ of the extremal ideal on $q$…

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 show that a monomial ideal $I$ has projective dimension $\leq$ 1 if and only if the minimal free resolution of $S/I$ is supported on a graph that is a tree. This is done by constructing specific graphs which support the resolution of the…

We define the Buchberger resolution, which is a graded free resolution of a monomial ideal in a polynomial ring. Its construction uses a generalization of the Buchberger graph and encodes much of the combinatorics of the Buchberger…

The index of a graded ideal measures the number of linear steps in the graded minimal free resolution of the ideal. In this paper we study the index of powers and squarefree powers of edge ideals. Our results indicate that the index as a…
