AbstractThe 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 graphs as the graphs with unmixed binomial edge ideal and whose cut sets form an accessible set system. We prove that the graphs whose binomial edge ideal is Cohen–Macaulay are accessible and we conjecture that the converse holds. We settle the conjecture for large classes of graphs, including chordal and traceable graphs, providing a purely combinatorial description of Cohen–Macaulayness. The key idea in the proof is to show that both properties are equivalent to a further combinatorial condition, which we call strong unmixedness.

We give an upper bound for the Stanley depth of the edge ideal I of a k-partite complete graph and show that Stanley’s conjecture holds for I. Also we give an upper bound for the Stanley depth of the edge ideal of a s-uniform complete bipartite hypergraph.

Given a nontrivial homogeneous ideal [Formula: see text], a problem of great recent interest has been the comparison of the [Formula: see text]th ordinary power of [Formula: see text] and the [Formula: see text]th symbolic power [Formula: see text]. This comparison has been undertaken directly via an exploration of which exponents [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] guarantee the subset containment [Formula: see text] and asymptotically via a computation of the resurgence [Formula: see text], a number for which any [Formula: see text] guarantees [Formula: see text]. Recently, a third quantity, the symbolic defect, was introduced; as [Formula: see text], the symbolic defect is the minimal number of generators required to add to [Formula: see text] in order to get [Formula: see text]. We consider these various means of comparison when [Formula: see text] is the edge ideal of certain graphs by describing an ideal [Formula: see text] for which [Formula: see text]. When [Formula: see text] is the edge ideal of an odd cycle, our description of the structure of [Formula: see text] yields solutions to both the direct and asymptotic containment questions, as well as a partial computation of the sequence of symbolic defects.

The normality of a monomial ideal is expressed in terms of lattice points of blocking polyhedra and the integer decomposition property. For edge ideals of clutters this property characterizes normality. Let $G$ be the comparability graph of a finite poset. If $\mathrm{cl}(G)$ is the clutter of maximal cliques of $G$, we prove that $\mathrm{cl}(G)$ satisfies the max-flow min-cut property and that its edge ideal is normally torsion free. Then we prove that edge ideals of complete admissible uniform clutters are normally torsion free.

We prove that [Formula: see text] for any staircase skew Ferrers graph [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. As a consequence, Ene et al. conjecture is confirmed to hold true for the Betti numbers in the last column of the Betti table in a particular case. An explicit formula for the unique extremal Betti number of the binomial edge ideal of some closed graphs is also given.

Abstract Assume that G is a graph with edge ideal $I(G)$ and star packing number $\alpha _2(G)$ . We denote the sth symbolic power of $I(G)$ by $I(G)^{(s)}$ . It is shown that the inequality $ \operatorname {\mathrm {depth}} S/(I(G)^{(s)})\geq \alpha _2(G)-s+1$ is true for every chordal graph G and every integer $s\geq 1$ . Moreover, it is proved that for any graph G, we have $ \operatorname {\mathrm {depth}} S/(I(G)^{(2)})\geq \alpha _2(G)-1$ .

Let [Formula: see text] be a graph and [Formula: see text] be its edge ideal. When [Formula: see text] is the clique sum of two different length odd cycles joined at single vertex then we give an explicit description of the symbolic powers of [Formula: see text] and compute the Waldschmidt constant. When [Formula: see text] is complete graph then we describe the generators of the symbolic powers of [Formula: see text] and compute the Waldschmidt constant and the resurgence of [Formula: see text]. Moreover for complete graph we prove that the Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity of the symbolic powers and ordinary powers of the edge ideal coincide.

Abstract We find a class of block graphs whose binomial edge ideals have minimal regularity. As a consequence, we characterize the trees whose binomial edge ideals have minimal regularity. Also, we show that the binomial edge ideal of a block graph has the same depth as its initial ideal.

In this paper, we study the depth and the Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity of the powers of edge ideals which are unmixed and whose underlying graphs are bipartite. In particular, we prove that the depth of the powers of the edge ideal stabilizes when the exponent is the same as half the number of vertices in the underlying connected bipartite graph. We also define the idea of “drop” in the sequence of depth of powers of ideals. Further, we show that the sequence of depth of the powers of such edge ideals may have any number of “drops”. In the process of proving these results we put forward some interesting examples and some questions for future research. As for regularity, we establish a formula for the regularity of the powers of such edge ideals in terms of the regularity of the edge ideal itself.
