چکیده

Let C be a clutter with a perfect matching e1, . . . , eg of König type and let ∆C be the Stanley-Reisner complex of the edge ideal of C. If all c-minors of C have a free vertex and C is unmixed, we show that ∆C is pure shellable. We are able to describe in combinatorial terms when ∆C is pure. If C has no cycles of length 3 or 4, then it is shown that ∆C is pure if and only if ∆C is pure shellable (in this case ei has a free vertex for all i), and that ∆C is pure if and only if for any two edges f1, f2 of C and for any ei, one has that f1∩ei ⊂ f2∩ei or f2∩ei ⊂ f1∩ei. It is also shown that this ordering condition implies that ∆C is pure shellable, without any assumption on the cycles of C. Then we prove that complete admissible uniform clutters and their Alexander duals are unmixed, in addition their edge ideals are facet ideals of shellable simplicial complexes. Furthermore if C is admissible and complete, then C is unmixed. We characterize the conditions in the Cohen-Macaulay criterion for bipartite graphs of Herzog and Hibi, and extend some results of Faridi about the structure of simplicial trees.

On Well-Covered, Vertex Decomposable and Cohen-Macaulay Graphs

Let G = (V,E) be a graph. If G is a König graph or if G is a graph without 3-cycles and 5-cycles, we prove that the following conditions are equivalent: ∆G is pure shellable, R/I∆ is Cohen-Macaulay, G is an unmixed vertex decomposable graph and G is well-covered with a perfect matching of König type e1, . . . , eg without 4-cycles with two ei’s. Furthermore, we study vertex decomposable and she...

A characterization of shellable and sequentially Cohen-Macaulay

We consider a class of hypergraphs called hypercycles and we show that a hypercycle $C_n^{d,alpha}$ is shellable or sequentially the Cohen--Macaulay if and only if $nin{3,5}$. Also, we characterize Cohen--Macaulay hypercycles. These results are hypergraph versions of results proved for cycles in graphs.

Cohen-Macaulay $r$-partite graphs with minimal clique cover

‎In this paper‎, ‎we give some necessary conditions for an $r$-partite graph such that the edge ring of the graph is Cohen-Macaulay‎. ‎It is proved that if there exists a cover of an $r$-partite Cohen-Macaulay graph by disjoint cliques of size $r$‎, ‎then such a cover is unique‎.

Chordal and Sequentially Cohen-Macaulay Clutters

We extend the definition of chordal from graphs to clutters. The resulting family generalizes both chordal graphs and matroids, and obeys many of the same algebraic and geometric properties. Specifically, the independence complex of a chordal clutter is shellable, hence sequentially Cohen-Macaulay; and the circuit ideal of a certain complement to such a clutter has a linear resolution. Minimal ...
