    Abstract

    We introduce sequentially $S_r$ modules over a commutative graded ring and
    sequentially $S_r$ simplicial complexes. This generalizes two properties for
    modules and simplicial complexes: being sequentially Cohen-Macaulay, and
    satisfying Serre's condition $S_r$. In analogy with the sequentially
    Cohen-Macaulay property, we show that a simplicial complex is sequentially
    $S_r$ if and only if its pure $i$-skeleton is $S_r$ for all $i$. For $r=2$, we
    provide a more relaxed characterization.

  2. Bipartite $S_2$ graphs are Cohen-Macaulay.

    Abstract

    In this paper we show that if the Stanley-Reisner ring of the simplicial
    complex of independent sets of a bipartite graph $G$ satisfies Serre's
    condition $S_2$, then $G$ is Cohen-Macaulay. As a consequence, the
    characterization of Cohen-Macaulay bipartite graphs due to Herzog and Hibi
    carries over this family of bipartite graphs. We check that the equivalence of
    Cohen-Macaulay property and the condition $S_2$ is also true for chordal graphs
    and we classify cyclic graphs with respect to the condition $S_2$.
