Binomial edge ideals of unicyclic graphs

Let [Formula: see text] be a connected graph on the vertex set [Formula: see text]. Then [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we prove that if [Formula: see text] is a unicyclic graph, then the depth of [Formula: see text] is bounded below by [Formula: see text]. Also, we characterize [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. We then compute one of the distinguished extremal Betti numbers of [Formula: see text]. If [Formula: see text] is obtained by attaching whiskers at some vertices of the cycle of length [Formula: see text], then we show that [Formula: see text]. Furthermore, we characterize [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. In each of these cases, we classify the uniqueness of the extremal Betti number of these graphs.

Betti Numbers of Weighted Oriented Graphs

Let $\mathcal{D}$ be a weighted oriented graph and $I(\mathcal{D})$ be its edge ideal. In this paper, we investigate the Betti numbers of $I(\mathcal{D})$ via upper-Koszul simplicial complexes, Betti splittings and the mapping cone construction. In particular, we provide recursive formulas for the Betti numbers of edge ideals of several classes of weighted oriented graphs. We also identify classes of weighted oriented graphs whose edge ideals have a unique extremal Betti number which allows us to compute the regularity and projective dimension for the identified classes. Furthermore, we characterize the structure of a weighted oriented graph $\mathcal{D}$ on $n$ vertices such that $\textrm{pdim } (R/I(\mathcal{D}))=n$ where $R=k[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$.

Binomial edge ideals of generalized block graphs

We classify generalized block graphs whose binomial edge ideals admit a unique extremal Betti number. We prove that the Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity of binomial edge ideals of generalized block graphs is bounded below by [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the number of minimal cut sets of the graph [Formula: see text] and obtain an improved upper bound for the regularity in terms of the number of maximal cliques and pendant vertices of [Formula: see text].

On the Betti numbers of edge ideals of skew Ferrers graphs

We prove that [Formula: see text] for any staircase skew Ferrers graph [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. As a consequence, Ene et al. conjecture is confirmed to hold true for the Betti numbers in the last column of the Betti table in a particular case. An explicit formula for the unique extremal Betti number of the binomial edge ideal of some closed graphs is also given.

On the Extremal Betti Numbers of Binomial Edge Ideals of Block Graphs

We compute one of the distinguished extremal Betti number of the binomial edge ideal of a block graph, and classify all block graphs admitting precisely one extremal Betti number.
