International audience We show that toric ideals of flow polytopes are generated in degree $3$. This was conjectured by Diaconis and Eriksson for the special case of the Birkhoff polytope. Our proof uses a hyperplane subdivision method developed by Haase and Paffenholz. It is known that reduced revlex Gröbner bases of the toric ideal of the Birkhoff polytope $B_n$ have at most degree $n$. We show that this bound is sharp for some revlex term orders. For $(m \times n)$-transportation polytopes, a similar result holds: they have Gröbner bases of at most degree $\lfloor mn/2 \rfloor$. We construct a family of examples, where this bound is sharp. Nous démontrons que les idéaux toriques des polytopes de flot sont engendrés par un ensemble de degré $3$. Cela a été conjecturé par Diaconis et Eriksson pour le cas particulier du polytope de Birkhoff. Notre preuve utilise une méthode de subdivision par hyperplans, développée par Haase et Paffenholz. Il est bien connu que les bases de Gröbner revlex réduite du polytope de Birkhoff $B_n$ sont au plus de degré $n$. Nous démontrons que cette borne est optimale pour quelques ordres revlex. Pour les polytopes de transportation de dimension $(m \times n)$, il existe un résultat similaire : leurs bases de Gröbner sont au plus de degré $\lfloor mn/2 \rfloor$. Nous construisons une famille d'exemples pour lesquels cette borne est atteinte.

In the present paper, we study the normality of the toric rings of stable set polytopes, generators of toric ideals of stable set polytopes, and their Gröbner bases via the notion of edge polytopes of finite nonsimple graphs and the results on their toric ideals. In particular, we give a criterion for the normality of the toric ring of the stable set polytope and a graph-theoretical characterization of the set of generators of the toric ideal of the stable set polytope for a graph of stability number two. As an application, we provide an infinite family of stable set polytopes whose toric ideal is generated by quadratic binomials and has no quadratic Gröbner bases.

AbstractIn 1980 White conjectured that every element of the toric ideal of a matroid is generated by quadratic binomials corresponding to symmetric exchanges. We prove White’s conjecture for high degrees with respect to the rank. This extends our result (Lasoń and Michałek in Adv Math 259:1–12, 2014) confirming White’s conjecture ‘up to saturation’. Furthermore, we study degrees of Gröbner bases and Betti tables of the toric ideals of matroids of a fixed rank.

In 1980, White conjectured that the toric ideal associated to a matroid is generated by binomials corresponding to a symmetric exchange. In this paper, we prove that classes of matroids for which the toric ideal is generated by quadrics and that has quadratic Gröbner bases, are closed under series and parallel extensions, series and parallel connections, and 2-sums.

Restuccia and Rinaldo proved that a standard graded $K$-algebra $K[x_1,\dots,x_n]/I$ is strongly Koszul if the reduced Gröbner basis of $I$ with respect to any reverse lexicographic order is quadratic. In this paper, we give a sufficient condition for a toric ring $K[A]$ to be strongly Koszul in terms of the reverse lexicographic Gröbner bases of its toric ideal $I_A$. This is a partial extension of a result given by Restuccia and Rinaldo. In addition, we show that any strongly Koszul toric ring generated by squarefree monomials is compressed. Using this fact, we show that our sufficient condition for $K[A]$ to be strongly Koszul is both necessary and sufficient when $K[A]$ is generated by squarefree monomials.
