Viviana Ene, Oana Olteanu - Naoki Terai: Arithmetical rank of lexsegment edge ideals, p.315-327

Abstract:

Let $I\subset S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be a lexsegment edge ideal or the Alexander dual of such an ideal. In both cases it turns out that the arithmetical rank of $I$ is equal to the projective dimension of $S/I.$

Key Words: Arithmetical rank, projective dimension, regularity, edge ideals, squarefree lexsegment ideals, Alexander dual.
