In this paper, we introduce a subclass of chordal graphs which contains $d$-trees and show that their complement are vertex decomposable and so is shellable and sequentially Cohen-Macaulay.

Let C ⊂ N be an affine semigroup, and R = K[C] its semigroup ring. This paper is a collection of various results on “C-graded” R-modules M = ⊕ c∈C Mc, especially, monomial ideals of R. For example, we show the following: If R is normal and I ⊂ R is a radicalmonomial ideal (i.e., R/I is a generalization of Stanley-Reisner rings), then the sequentially Cohen-Macaulay property of R/I is a topologi...

in this paper, we study some ring theoretic properties of the amalgamated duplication ring $rbowtie i$ of a commutative noetherian ring $r$ along an ideal $i$ of $r$ which was introduced by d'anna and fontana. indeed, it is determined that when $rbowtie i$ satisfies serre's conditions $(r_n)$ and $(s_n)$, and when is a normal ring, a generalized cohen-macaulay ring and finally a filter ring.

Let G be a simple (i.e., no loops and no multiple edges) graph. We investigate the question of how to modify G combinatorially to obtain a sequentially CohenMacaulay graph. We focus on modifications given by adding configurations of whiskers to G, where to add a whisker one adds a new vertex and an edge connecting this vertex to an existing vertex in G. We give various sufficient conditions and...

et  be a commutative Noetherian ring,  and  two ideals of  and  a finite -module. In this paper, we have studied the vanishing and relative Cohen-Macaulyness of the functor for relative Cohen-Macauly filtered modules with respect to the ideal  (RCMF). We have shown that the for relative Cohen-Macaulay modules holds for any relative Cohen-Macauly module with respect to  with ........

Let G be a bipartite graph with edge ideal I(G) whose quotient ring R/I(G) is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay. We prove: (1) the independence complex of G must be vertex decomposable, and (2) the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of R/I(G) can be determined from the invariants of G.

We introduce sequentially Sr modules over a commutative graded ring and sequentially Sr simplicial complexes. This generalizes two properties for modules and simplicial complexes: being sequentially Cohen-Macaulay, and satisfying Serre’s condition Sr . In analogy with the sequentially CohenMacaulay property, we show that a simplicial complex is sequentially Sr if and only if its pure i-skeleton...

Let (R,m) be a local Cohen-Macaulay ring whose m-adic completion R̂ has an isolated singularity. We verify the following conjecture of F.-O. Schreyer: R has finite Cohen-Macaulay type if and only if R̂ has finite Cohen-Macaulay type. We show also that the hypersurface k[[x0, . . . , xd]]/(f) has finite Cohen-Macaulay type if and only if k [[x0, . . . , xd]]/(f) has finite Cohen-Macaulay type, whe...
