  1. Powers of edge ideals.

    Subjects: Commutative Algebra
    Abstract

    We compute the Betti numbers for all the powers of initial and final
    lexsegment edge ideals. For the powers of the edge ideal of an anti-$d-$path,
    we prove that they have linear quotients and we characterize the normally
    torsion-free ideals. We determine a class of non-squarefree ideals, arising
    from some particular graphs, which are normally torsion-free.

  2. Polytopes from Subgraph Statistics.

    Authors: Alexander Engstrom, Patrik Noren
    Subjects: Combinatorics
    Abstract

    We study polytopes that are convex hulls of vectors of subgraph densities.
    Many graph theoretical questions can be expressed in terms of these polytopes,
    and statisticians use them to understand exponential random graph models.

    Relations among their Ehrhart polynomials are described, their duals are
    applied to certify that polynomials are non-negative, and we find some of their
    faces.

  3. Ideals of Graph Homomorphisms.

    Authors: Alexander Engstrom, Patrik Noren
    Subjects: Commutative Algebra
    Abstract

    In this paper we introduce the ideals of graph homomorphisms.

    They are natural generalizations of toric ideals from algebraic statistics
    studied by Diaconis, Sturmfels, and Sullivant. They are toric ideals; and their
    polytopes, for example the stable set polytope, are important in optimization
    theory. They capture more information about graphs than just the graphs, since
    we work with the category of graph homomorphisms.
