Betti Numbers of Graphs

چکیده
This paper describes an application of research that sits at the intersection of commutative algebra and combinatorics: Betti numbers of graphs. In particular, we describe a correspondence between simple undirected graphs and a class of ideals in a polynomial ring. We then briefly introduce some of the algebraic invariants that can be associated to the ideal and the relation of these invariants to the existence of induced subgraphs in the original graph. We discuss a novel application of the theory to a problem in anomaly detection – detection of a local non-homogeneity in a graph. We describe some variants of these ideas designed to make the computations more tractable.

On the Betti Numbers of some Classes of Binomial Edge Ideals
We study the Betti numbers of binomial edge ideal associated to some classes of graphs with large Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity. As an application we give several lower bounds of the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of arbitrary graphs depending on induced subgraphs.

We provide some new conditions under which the graded Betti numbers of a mono-mial ideal can be computed in terms of the graded Betti numbers of smaller ideals, thus complementing Eliahou and Kervaire's splitting approach. As applications, we show that edge ideals of graphs are splittable, and we provide an iterative method for computing the Betti numbers of the cover ideals of Cohen-Macaulay b...

متن کاملOn a special class of Stanley-Reisner ideals
For an $n$-gon with vertices at points $1,2,cdots,n$, the Betti numbers of its suspension, the simplicial complex that involves two more vertices $n+1$ and $n+2$, is known. In this paper, with a constructive and simple proof, wegeneralize this result to find the minimal free resolution and Betti numbers of the $S$-module $S/I$ where $S=K[x_{1},cdots, x_{n}]$ and $I$ is the associated ideal to ...
متن کاملRandom Complexes and l 2 - Betti Numbers
Uniform spanning trees on finite graphs and their analogues on infinite graphs are a well-studied area. On a Cayley graph of a group, we show that they are related to the first l-Betti number of the group. Our main aim, however, is to present the basic elements of a higher-dimensional analogue on finite and infinite CW-complexes, which relate to the higher l-Betti numbers. One consequence is a ...
