Betti numbers of edge ideals of some split graphs. (English) Zbl 1451.13047

Let \(G=(V,E)\) be a simple graph. The graph \(G\) is a split graph if \(V=C\cup S\) and
– for any two distinct elements \(x,x'\in C\), we have \(\{x,x'\}\in E\);
– for any two distinct elements \(y,y'\in S\), we have \(\{y,y'\}\notin E\).
The set \(C\) is called clique, and the set \(S\) is called stable set.
A split graph is said to be complete if the following extra condition holds
– for any \(x\in C\) and \(y\in S\) we have \(\{x,y\}\in E\).
In the first part of Section 3, the authors study some homological invariants of the edge ideal of complete split graphs. In particular they compute the graded Betti numbers in Theorem 3.2.
In the last part of Section 3 the focus is on nearly complete split graphs, that are constructed from complete split graphs by removing a certain number of edges. The graded Betti numbers of the edge ideals of nearly complete split graphs are computed in Theorem 3.7.
Both the results are achieved by using Hochster’s formula.
Section 4 is devoted to the study of the projective dimension of edge ideals of split graphs, an upper and a lower bound is provided in Theorem 4.4.
