Independence polynomials and the weak Lefschetz property for tadpole graphs

Let $T_{m,n}$ be the tadpole graph obtained by joining a cycle $C_m$ to a path $P_n$ by a bridge. We prove that the independence polynomial of every tadpole graph is unimodal and establish sharp bounds for its mode. The unimodality result follows from a general criterion for graphs obtained by attaching a path to a fixed vertex. Over a field of characteristic zero, we also give a complete classification of the pairs $(m,n)$ for which the Artinian algebra defined by the edge ideal of $T_{m,n}$ together with the squares of all variables has the weak Lefschetz property.
