Let H be a simple undirected graph. The family of all matchings of H forms a simplicial complex called the matching complex of H. Here , we give a classification of all graphs with a Gorenstein matching complex. Also we study when the matching complex of H is CohenMacaulay and, in certain classes of graphs, we fully characterize those graphs which have a Cohen-Macaulay matching complex. In particular, we characterize when the matching complex of a graph with girth at least 5 or a complete graph…

A characterization of two-dimensional Buchsbaum matching complexes

. The matching complex M ( G ) of a graph G is the set of all matchings in G . A Buchsbaum simplicial complex is a generalization of both a homology manifold and a Cohen–Macaulay complex. We give a…

Perfect Matching Complexes of Honeycomb Graphs

The perfect matching complex of a graph is the simplicial complex on the edge set of the graph with facets corresponding to perfect matchings of the graph. This paper studies the perfect matching…

Topology of matching, chessboard, and general bounded degree graph complexes

Abstract.We survey results and techniques in the topological study of simplicial complexes of (di-, multi-, hyper-)graphs whose node degrees are bounded from above. These complexes have arisen in a…

Inspired by several recent papers on the edge ideal of a graph G, we study the equivalent notion of the independence complex of G. Using the tool of vertex decomposability from geometric…

Chordal and Sequentially Cohen-Macaulay Clutters

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.

MANIFOLD MATCHING COMPLEXES

The matching complex of a graph is the simplicial complex whose vertex set is the set of edges of the graph with a face for each independent set of edges. In this paper we completely characterize the…

Some Combinatorial Characterizations of Gorenstein Graphs with Independence Number Less Than Four

Let $$\alpha =\alpha (G)$$ be the independence number of a simple graph G with n vertices and I(G) be its edge ideal in $$S=K[x_1,\ldots , x_n]$$ . If S/I(G) is Gorenstein, the graph G is called…

Cohen-Macaulay edge ideal whose height is half of the number of vertices

Abstract We consider a class of graphs G such that the height of the edge ideal I(G) is half of the number #V(G) of the vertices. We give Cohen-Macaulay criteria for such graphs.

Trung’s Construction and the Charney–Davis Conjecture

We consider a construction by which we obtain a simple graph $${\mathrm {Tr}}(H,v)$$ Tr ( H , v ) from a simple graph H and a non-isolated vertex v of H . We call this construction “Trung’s…
