In this paper we study the normality of monomial ideals using linear programming and graph theory. We give normality criteria for monomial ideals, for ideals generated by monomials of degree two, and for edge ideals of graphs and clutters and their ideals of covers.
The non--commuting graph $Γ(G)$ of a non--abelian group $G$ is defined as follows. The vertex set $V(Γ(G))$ of $Γ(G)$ is $G\setminus Z(G)$ where $Z(G)$ denotes the center of $G$ and two vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $xy\neq yx$. For non--abelian finite groups $G$ and $H$ it is conjectured that if $Γ(G) \cong Γ(H)$, then $|G|=|H|$. We prove the conjecture.
Let $G$ be a finite group, the enhanced power graph of $G$, denoted by $Γ_G^e$, is the graph with vertex set $G$ and two vertices $x,y$ are edge connected in $Γ_{G}^e$ if there exist $z\in G$ such that $x,y\in\langle z\rangle$. Let $ζ$ be a edge-coloring of $Γ_G^e$. In this article, we calculate the rainbow connection number of the enhanced power graph $Γ_G^e$.
We introduce the combinatorial Lyubeznik resolution of monomial ideals. We prove that this resolution is isomorphic to the usual Lyubezbnik resolution. As an application, we give a combinatorial method to determine if an ideal is a Lyubeznik ideal. Furthermore, the minimality of the Lyubeznik resolution is characterized and we classify all the Lyubeznik symbols using combinatorial criteria. We get a combinatorial expression for the projective dimension, the length of Lyubeznik, and the arithmetical rank of a monomial ideal. We define the Lyubeznik totally ideals as those ideals that yield a minimal free resolution under any total order. Finally, we present that for a family of graphics, that their edge ideals are Lyubeznik totally ideals.
We give upper bounds for the Stanley depth of edge ideals of certain k-partite clutters. In particular, we generalize a result of Ishaq about the Stanley depth of the edge ideal of a complete bipartite graph. A result of Pournaki, Seyed Fakhari and Yassemi implies that the Stanley's conjecture holds for d-uniform complete d-partite clutters. Here we give a shorter and different proof of this fact.
For a finite group $G$ with a normal subgroup $H$, the enhanced quotient graph of $G/H$, denoted by $\mathcal{G}_{H}(G),$ is the graph with vertex set $V=(G\backslash H)\cup \{e\}$ and two vertices $x$ and $y$ are edge connected if $xH = yH$ or $xH,yH\in \langle zH\rangle$ for some $z\in G$. In this article, we characterize the enhanced quotient graph of $G/H$. The graph $\mathcal{G}_{H}(G)$ is complete if and only if $G/H$ is cyclic, and $\mathcal{G}_{H}(G)$ is Eulerian if and only if $|G/H|$ is odd. We show some relation between the graph $\mathcal{G}_{H}(G)$ and the enhanced power graph $\mathcal{G}(G/H)$ that was introduced by Sudip Bera and A.K. Bhuniya (2016). The graph $\mathcal{G}_H(G)$ is complete if and only if $G/H$ is cyclic if and only if $\mathcal{G}(G/H)$ is complete. The graph $\mathcal{G}_H(G)$ is Eulerian if and only if $|G|$ is odd if and only if $\mathcal{G}(G)$ is Eulerian, i.e., the property of being Eulerian does not depend on the normal subgroup $H$.
In this thesis we are interested in studying algebraic properties of monomial algebras, that can be linked to combinatorial structures, such as graphs and clutters, and to optimization problems. A goal here is to establish bridges between commutative algebra, combinatorics and optimization. We study the normality and the Gorenstein property-as well as the canonical module and the a-invariant-of Rees algebras and subrings arising from linear optimization problems. In particular, we study algebraic properties of edge ideals and algebras associated to uniform clutters with the max-flow min-cut property or the packing property. We also study algebraic properties of symbolic Rees algebras of edge ideals of graphs, edge ideals of clique clutters of comparability graphs, and Stanley-Reisner rings.
Let C be a clutter and let A be its incidence matrix. If the linear system x>=0;xA<=1 has the integer rounding property, we give a description of the canonical module and the a-invariant of certain normal subrings associated to C. If the clutter is a connected graph, we describe when the aforementioned linear system has the integer rounding property in combinatorial and algebraic terms using graph theory and the theory of Rees algebras. As a consequence we show that the extended Rees algebra of the edge ideal of a bipartite graph is Gorenstein if and only if the graph is unmixed.
Let C be a uniform clutter, i.e., all the edges of C have the same size, and let A be the incidence matrix of C. We denote the column vectors of A by v1,...,vq. The vertex covering number of C, denoted by g, is the smallest number of vertices in any minimal vertex cover of C. Under certain conditions we prove that C is vertex critical. If C satisfies the max-flow min-cut property, we prove that A diagonalizes over the integers to an identity matrix and that v1,...,vq is a Hilbert basis. It is shown that if C has a perfect matching such that C has the packing property and g=2, then A diagonalizes over the integers to an identity matrix. If A is a balanced matrix we prove that any regular triangulation of the cone generated by v1,...,vq is unimodular. Some examples are presented to show that our results only hold for uniform clutters. These results are closely related to certain algebraic properties, such as the normality or torsion freeness, of blowup algebras of edge ideals and to finitely generated abelian groups. They are also related to the theory of Gröbner bases of toric ideals and to Ehrhart rings.
Let G be a simple graph and let J be its ideal of vertex covers. We give a graph theoretical description of the irreducible b-vertex covers of G, i.e., we describe the minimal generators of the symbolic Rees algebra of J. Then we study the irreducible b-vertex covers of the blocker of G, i.e., we study the minimal generators of the symbolic Rees algebra of the edge ideal of G. We give a graph theoretical description of the irreducible binary b-vertex covers of the blocker of G. It is shown that they correspond to irreducible induced subgraphs of G. As a byproduct we obtain a method, using Hilbert bases, to obtain all irreducible induced subgraphs of G. In particular we obtain all odd holes and antiholes. We study irreducible graphs and give a method to construct irreducible b-vertex covers of the blocker of G with high degree relative to the number of vertices of G.
Let (P,<) be a finite poset and let G be its comparability graph. If cl(G) is the clutter of maximal cliques of G, we prove that cl(G) satisfies the max-flow min-cut property and that its edge ideal is normally torsion free. We prove that edge ideals of complete admissible uniform clutters are normally torsion free. The normality of a monomial ideal is expressed in terms of blocking polyhedra and the integer decomposition property. For edge ideals of clutters this property completely determine their normality
The aim of this paper is to study integer rounding properties of various systems of linear inequalities to gain insight about the algebraic properties of Rees algebras of monomial ideals and monomial subrings. We study the normality and Gorenstein property--as well as the canonical module and the a-invariant--of Rees algebras and subrings arising from systems with the integer rounding property. We relate the algebraic properties of Rees algebras and monomial subrings with integer rounding properties and present a duality theorem.
Let C be a uniform clutter and let I=I(C) be its edge ideal. We prove that if C satisfies the packing property (resp. max-flow min-cut property), then there is a uniform Cohen-Macaulay clutter C1 satisfying the packing property (resp. max-flow min-cut property) such that C is a minor of C1. For arbitrary edge ideals of clutters we prove that the normality property is closed under parallelizations. Then we show some applications to edge ideals and clutters which are related to a conjecture of Conforti and Cornuéjols and to max-flow min-cut problems.
