A Gr\"obner basis characterization for chordal comparability graphs

Combinatorics 2018-09-03 v2 Commutative Algebra

Abstract

In this paper, we study toric ideals associated with multichains of posets. It is shown that the comparability graph of a poset is chordal if and only if there exists a quadratic Gr\"obner basis of the toric ideal of the poset. Strong perfect elimination orderings of strongly chordal graphs play an important role.
