 Let $G$ be a graph on the vertex set $V = \{ 0, 1,\ldots,n\}$ with root $0$. Postnikov and Shapiro were the first to consider a monomial ideal $\mathcal{M}_G$, called the $G$-parking function ideal, in the polynomial ring $ R = {\mathbb{K}}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ over a field $\mathbb{K}$ and explained its connection to the chip-firing game on graphs. The standard monomials of the Artinian quotient $\frac{R}{\mathcal{M}_G}$ correspond bijectively to $G$-parking functions. Dochtermann introduced and studied skeleton ideals of the graph $G$, which are subideals of the $G$-parking function ideal with an additional parameter $k ~(0\le k \le n-1)$. A $k$-skeleton ideal $\mathcal{M}_G^{(k)}$ of the graph $G$ is generated by monomials corresponding to non-empty subsets of the set of non-root vertices $[n]$ of size at most $k+1$. Dochtermann obtained many interesting homological and combinatorial properties of these skeleton ideals. In this paper, we study the $k$-skeleton ideals of graphs and for certain classes of graphs provide explicit formulas and combinatorial interpretation of standard monomials and the Betti numbers.

For an (oriented) graph [Formula: see text] on the vertex set [Formula: see text] (rooted at [Formula: see text]), Postnikov and Shapiro (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 356 (2004) 3109–3142) associated a monomial ideal [Formula: see text] in the polynomial ring [Formula: see text] over a field [Formula: see text] such that the number of standard monomials of [Formula: see text] equals the number of (oriented) spanning trees of [Formula: see text] and hence, [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the truncated Laplace matrix of [Formula: see text]. The standard monomials of [Formula: see text] correspond bijectively to the [Formula: see text]-parking functions. In this paper, we study a monomial ideal [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] having rich combinatorial properties. We show that the minimal free resolution of the monomial ideal [Formula: see text] is the cellular resolution supported on a subcomplex of the first barycentric subdivision [Formula: see text] of an [Formula: see text] simplex [Formula: see text]. The integer sequence [Formula: see text] has many interesting properties. In particular, we obtain a formula, [Formula: see text], with [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text], similar to [Formula: see text].

We construct a Gröbner-Shirshov basis of the Temperley-Lieb algebra T ( d , n ) of the complex reflection group G ( d , 1 , n ) , inducing the standard monomials expressed by the generators { E i } of T ( d , n ) . This result generalizes the one for the Coxeter group of type B n in the paper by Kim and Lee We also give a combinatorial interpretation of the standard monomials of T ( d , n ) , relating to the fully commutative elements of the complex reflection group G ( d , 1 , n ) . More generally, the Temperley-Lieb algebra T ( d , r , n ) of the complex reflection group G ( d , r , n ) is defined and its dimension is computed.

Let [Formula: see text] be the edge monomial ideal of a graph [Formula: see text], whose vertex set is [Formula: see text]. [Formula: see text] is implosive if the symbolic Rees algebra [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] has a minimal system of generators [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] are square-free monomials. We give some structural properties of implosive graphs and we prove that they are closed under clique-sums and odd subdivisions. Furthermore, we prove that universally signable graphs are implosive. We show that odd holes, odd antiholes and some Truemper configurations (prisms, thetas and even wheels) are implosive. Moreover, we study excluded families of subgraphs for the class of implosive graphs. In particular, we characterize which Truemper configurations and extensions of odd holes and antiholes are minimal nonimplosive.

International audience For a fixed sequence of $n$ positive integers $(a,\bar{b}) := (a, b, b,\ldots, b)$, an $(a,\bar{b})$-parking function of length $n$ is a sequence $(p_1, p_2, \ldots, p_n)$ of positive integers whose nondecreasing rearrangement $q_1 \leq q_2 \leq \cdots \leq q_n$ satisfies $q_i \leq a+(i-1)b$ for any $i=1,\ldots, n$. A $(a,\bar{b})$-forest on $n$-set is a rooted vertex-colored forests on $n$-set whose roots are colored with the colors $0, 1, \ldots, a-1$ and the other vertices are colored with the colors $0, 1, \ldots, b-1$. In this paper, we construct a bijection between $(bc,\bar{b})$-parking functions of length $n$ and $(bc,\bar{b})$-forests on $n$-set with some interesting properties. As applications, we obtain a generalization of Gessel and Seo's result about $(c,\bar{1})$-parking functions [Ira M. Gessel and Seunghyun Seo, Electron. J. Combin. $\textbf{11}$(2)R27, 2004] and a refinement of Yan's identity [Catherine H. Yan, Adv. Appl. Math. $\textbf{27}$(2―3):641―670, 2001] between an inversion enumerator for $(bc,\bar{b})$-forests and a complement enumerator for $(bc,\bar{b})$-parking functions. Soit $(a,\bar{b}) := (a, b, b,\ldots, b)$ une suite d'entiers positifs. Une $(a,\bar{b})$-fonction de parking est une suite $(p_1, p_2, \ldots, p_n)$ d'entiers positives telle que son réarrangement non décroissant $q_1 \leq q_2 \leq \cdots \leq q_n$ satisfait $q_i \leq a+(i-1)b$ pour tout $i=1,\ldots, n$. Une $(a,\bar{b})$-forêt enracinée sur un $n$-ensemble est une forêt enracinée dont les racines sont colorées avec les couleurs $0, 1, \ldots, a-1$ et les autres sommets sont colorés avec les couleurs $0, 1, \ldots, b-1$. Dans cet article, on construit une bijection entre $(bc,\bar{b})$-fonctions de parking et $(bc,\bar{b})$-forêts avec des des propriétés intéressantes. Comme applications, on obtient une généralisation d'un résultat de Gessel-Seo sur $(c,\bar{1})$-fonctions de parking [Ira M. Gessel and Seunghyun Seo, Electron. J. Combin. $\textbf{11}$(2)R27, 2004] et une extension de l'identité de Yan [Catherine H. Yan, Adv. Appl. Math. $\textbf{27}$(2―3):641―670, 2001] entre l'énumérateur d'inversion de $(bc,\bar{b})$-forêts et l'énumérateur complémentaire de $(bc,\bar{b})$-fonctions de parking.

International audience We examine the $q=1$ and $t=0$ special cases of the parking functions conjecture. The parking functions conjecture states that the Hilbert series for the space of diagonal harmonics is equal to the bivariate generating function of $area$ and $dinv$ over the set of parking functions. Haglund recently proved that the Hilbert series for the space of diagonal harmonics is equal to a bivariate generating function over the set of Tesler matrices–upper-triangular matrices with every hook sum equal to one. We give a combinatorial interpretation of the Haglund generating function at $q=1$ and prove the corresponding case of the parking functions conjecture (first proven by Garsia and Haiman). We also discuss a possible proof of the $t = 0$ case consistent with this combinatorial interpretation. We conclude by briefly discussing possible refinements of the parking functions conjecture arising from this research and point of view. $\textbf{Note added in proof}$: We have since found such a proof of the $t = 0$ case and conjectured more detailed refinements. This research will most likely be presented in full in a forthcoming article. On examine les cas spéciaux $q=1$ et $t=0$ de la conjecture des fonctions de stationnement. Cette conjecture déclare que la série de Hilbert pour l'espace des harmoniques diagonaux est égale à la fonction génératrice bivariée (paramètres $area$ et $dinv$) sur l'ensemble des fonctions de stationnement. Haglund a prouvé récemment que la série de Hilbert pour l'espace des harmoniques diagonaux est égale à une fonction génératrice bivariée sur l'ensemble des matrices de Tesler triangulaires supérieures dont la somme de chaque équerre vaut un. On donne une interprétation combinatoire de la fonction génératrice de Haglund pour $q=1$ et on prouve le cas correspondant de la conjecture dans le cas des fonctions de stationnement (prouvé d'abord par Garsia et Haiman). On discute aussi d'une preuve possible du cas $t=0$, cohérente avec cette interprétation combinatoire. On conclut en discutant brièvement les raffinements possibles de la conjecture des fonctions de stationnement de ce point de vue. $\textbf{Note ajoutée sur épreuve}$: j'ai trouvé depuis cet article une preuve du cas $t=0$ et conjecturé des raffinements possibles. Ces résultats seront probablement présentés dans un article ultérieur.

AbstractThe cover product of disjoint graphs G and H with fixed vertex covers C(G) and C(H), is the graphwith vertex set V(G) ∪ V(H) and edge setWe describe the graded Betti numbers of GeH in terms of those of. As applications we obtain: (i) For any positive integer k there exists a connected bipartite graph G such that reg R/I(G) = μS(G) + k, where, I(G) denotes the edge ideal of G, reg R/I(G) is the Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity of R/I(G) and μS(G) is the induced or strong matching number of G; (ii)The graded Betti numbers of the complement of a tree depends only upon its number of vertices; (iii)The h-vector of R/I(G e H) is described in terms of the h-vectors of R/I(G) and R/I(H). Furthermore, in a diòerent direction, we give a recursive formula for the graded Betti numbers of chordal bipartite graphs.

The partition lattice and noncrossing partition lattice are well studied objects in combinatorics. Given a graph $G$ on vertex set $\{1,2,\dots, n\}$, its bond lattice, $L_G$, is the subposet of the partition lattice formed by restricting to the partitions whose blocks induce connected subgraphs of $G$. In this article, we introduce a natural noncrossing analogue of the bond lattice, the noncrossing bond poset, $NC_G$, obtained by restricting to the noncrossing partitions of $L_G$. Both the noncrossing partition lattice and the bond lattice have many nice combinatorial properties. We show that, for several families of graphs, the noncrossing bond poset also exhibits these properties. We present simple necessary and sufficient conditions on the graph to ensure the noncrossing bond poset is a lattice.  Additionally, for several families of graphs, we give combinatorial descriptions of the Möbius function and characteristic polynomial of the noncrossing bond poset. These descriptions are in terms of a noncrossing analogue of non-broken circuit (NBC) sets of the graphs and can be thought of as a noncrossing version of Whitney's NBC theorem for the chromatic polynomial. We also consider the shellability and supersolvability of the noncrossing bond poset, providing sufficient conditions for both. We end with some open problems.

A parking function is a sequence $(a_1,\dots,a_n)$ of positive integers such that, if $b_1\leq b_2\leq \cdots\leq b_n$ is the increasing rearrangement of the sequence $(a_1,\dots, a_n),$ then $b_i\leq i$. A noncrossing partition of the set $[n]=\{1,2,\dots,n\}$ is a partition $\pi$ of the set $[n]$ with the property that if $a < b < c < d$ and some block $B$ of $\pi$ contains both $a$ and $c$, while some block $B'$ of $\pi$ contains both $b$ and $d$, then $B=B'$. We establish some connections between parking functions and noncrossing partitions. A generating function for the flag $f$-vector of the lattice NC$_{n+1}$ of noncrossing partitions of $[{\scriptstyle n+1}]$ is shown to coincide (up to the involution $\omega$ on symmetric function) with Haiman's parking function symmetric function. We construct an edge labeling of NC$_{n+1}$ whose chain labels are the set of all parking functions of length $n$. This leads to a local action of the symmetric group ${S}_n$ on NC$_{n+1}$.

A Betti splitting [Formula: see text] of a monomial ideal [Formula: see text] ensures the recovery of the graded Betti numbers of [Formula: see text] starting from those of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we introduce an analogous notion for simplicial complexes, using Alexander duality, proving that it is equivalent to a recursive splitting condition on links of some vertices. We provide results ensuring the existence of a Betti splitting for a simplicial complex [Formula: see text], relating it to topological properties of [Formula: see text]. Among other things, we prove that orientability for a manifold without boundary is equivalent to the admission of a Betti splitting induced by the removal of a single facet. Taking advantage of our topological approach, we provide the first example of a monomial ideal which admits Betti splittings in all characteristics but with characteristic-dependent resolution. Moreover, we introduce new numerical descriptors for simplicial complexes and topological spaces, useful to deal with questions concerning the existence of Betti splitting.
