Betti Numbers of Edge Ideals of Weighted Oriented Crown Graphs
Zexin Wang, Dancheng Lu
TL;DR
We address the problem of determining the Betti numbers for edge ideals of weighted oriented crown graphs. The authors introduce an induced-subgraph approach that reduces global Betti data to information from induced subgraphs, combined with Betti splitting and dominant-ideal techniques to obtain exact formulas. The main results include a weight-independent closed form for the total Betti numbers $\beta_i(I_n)$, a complete multigraded description $\beta_{i,\alpha}(I_n)$, and a formula for the regularity $\mathrm{reg}(I_n)=\sum_{i=1}^n w_i - n + 3$, with the all-ones weight case recovering known crown-graph results RS1/RS2. This work provides a complete multigraded resolution for this class and demonstrates that induced-subgraph data governs the global algebraic invariants.
Abstract
We compute the multigraded Betti numbers of edge ideals for weighted oriented crown graphs using a novel approach. This approach, which we still call the \emph{induced subgraph approach}, originates from our prior work on computing Betti numbers of normal edge rings(see \cite{WL}). Notably, we prove that the total Betti numbers of edge ideals for weighted oriented crown graphs are independent of the weight function.
