Abstract

We introduce the notion of sortability and tt-sortability for a simplicial complex and study the graphs for which their independence complexes are either sortable or tt-sortable. We show that the proper interval graphs are precisely the graphs whose independence complex is sortable. By using this characterization, we show that the ideal generated by all squarefree monomials corresponding to independent sets of vertices of GG of size tt (for a given positive integer tt) has the strong persistence property, when GG is a proper interval graph. Moreover, all of its powers have linear quotients.
