Given a graph $G$ on the vertex set $V$, the non-matching complex of $G$, $\mathsf{NM}_k(G)$, is the family of subgraphs $G' \subset G$ whose matching number $\nu(G')$ is strictly less than $k$. As an attempt to generalize the result by…

We survey a number of recent studies of the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of squarefree monomial ideals. Our focus is on bounds and exact values for the regularity in terms of combinatorial data from associated simplicial complexes and/or…

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…

We study the regularity and the projective dimension of the Stanley-Reisner ring of a $k$-decomposable simplicial complex and explain these invariants with a recursive formula. To this aim, the graded Betti numbers of $k$-decomposable…

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph on the vertex set $[n] = \{ 1, \ldots, n \}$ and $K[X, Y] = K[x_1, \ldots, x_n, y_1, \ldots, y_n]$ the polynomial ring in $2n$ variables over a field $K$ with each $\mathrm{deg} x_i = \mathrm{deg} y_j = 1$.…

Let $S=K[x_1, \ldots,x_n]$ denote the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ and let $I \subset S$ be a monomial ideal. For a vector $\mathfrak{c}\in\mathbb{N}^n$, we set $I_{\mathfrak{c}}$ to be the ideal generated by monomials…

Among other results, we prove that if $I$ is a monomial ideal of $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, where $K$ is a field, and $a\geq b-1\geq0$ are integers such that $a+b\leq\mathrm{proj~dim}(S/I)$, then $$t_{a+b}\leq…

Let $G$ be a finite group of order $n$ and for $1 \leq i \leq k+1$ let $V_i=\{i\} \times G$. Viewing each $V_i$ as a $0$-dimensional complex, let $Y_{G,k}$ denote the simplicial join $V_1*\cdots*V_{k+1}$. For $A \subset G$ let $Y_{A,k}$ be…

This paper proves that the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularities of the product and sum of two monomial complete intersection ideals are at most the sum of the regularities of the two ideals, and provides examples showing that these inequalities…

The aim of this paper is to characterize simplicial complexes which have standard graded vertex cover algebras. This property has several nice consequences for the squarefree monomial ideals defining these algebras. It turns out that such…

Suppose $\Delta$ is a pure simplicial complex on $n$ vertices having dimension $d$ and let $c = n-d-1$ be its codimension in the simplex. Terai and Yoshida proved that if the number of facets of $\Delta$ is at least $\binom{n}{c}-2c+1$,…

A simplicial complex K is called d-representable if it is the nerve of a collection of convex sets in R^d; K is d-collapsible if it can be reduced to an empty complex by repeatedly removing a face of dimension at most d-1 that is contained…

The theory of $k$-regular graphs is closely related to group theory. Every $k$-regular, bipartite graph is a Schreier graph with respect to some group $G$, a set of generators $S$ (depending only on $k$) and a subgroup $H$. The goal of this…

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…

We study $h$-vectors of simplicial complexes which satisfy Serre's condition ($S_r$). We say that a simplicial complex $\Delta$ satisfies Serre's condition ($S_r$) if $\tilde H_i(\lk_\Delta(F);K)=0$ for all faces $F \in \Delta$ and for all…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero, let $I \subset S = K[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ be a homogeneous ideal, and let $\partial(I)$ be its gradient ideal. We study the relationship between $\mathrm{reg}\,I$ and $\mathrm{reg}\,\partial(I)$. While…

For a positive integer $k$ and a non-negative integer $t$ a class of simplicial complexes, to be denoted by $k$-${\rm CM}_t$, is introduced. This class generalizes two notions for simplicial complexes: being $k$-Cohen-Macaulay and…

Let $M$ be an ideal in $K[x_1,...,x_n]$ ($K$ is a field) generated by products of linear forms and containing a homogeneous regular sequence of some length. We prove that ideals containing $M$ satisfy the Eisenbud-Green-Harris conjecture…

Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity is a measure of algebraic complexity of an ideal. Regularity of monomial ideals can be investigated combinatorially. We use a simple graph decomposition and results from structural graph theory to prove,…
