Regularity of symbolic powers of edge ideals of unicyclic graphs

Let $G$ be a unicyclic graph with edge ideal $I(G)$. For any integer $s\geq 1$, we denote the $s$-th symbolic power of $I(G)$ by $I(G)^{(s)}$. It is shown that ${\rm reg}(I(G)^{(s)})={\rm reg}(I(G)^s)$, for every $s\geq 1$

On the depth of symbolic powers of edge ideals of graphs

Assume that $G$ is a graph with edge ideal $I(G)$ and star packing number $\alpha_2(G)$. We denote the $s$-th symbolic power of $I(G)$ by $I(G)^{(s)}$. It is shown that the inequality ${\rm depth} S/(I(G)^{(s)})\geq \alpha_2(G)-s+1$ is true for every chordal graph $G$ and every integer $s\geq 1$. Moreover, it is proved that for any graph $G$, we have ${\rm depth} S/(I(G)^{(2)})\geq \alpha_2(G)-1$

Upper bounds for the regularity of symbolic powers of certain classes of edge ideals

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph and $I(G)$ denote the corresponding edge ideal in a polynomial ring over a field $\mathbb{K}$. In this paper, we obtain upper bounds for the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of symbolic powers of certain classes of edge ideals. We also prove that for several classes of graphs, the regularity of symbolic powers of their edge ideals coincides with that of their ordinary powers.Comment: 13 pages, 1 figur
