Title VERY WELL-COVERED GRAPHS AND THEIR h-VECTORS
Type JournalPaper
Keywords Very-well covered graph, h-vector, flag complex, Cohen–Macaulay vertex decomposable.
Abstract Let G be a Cohen–Macaulay very well-covered graph. We prove that the h-vector of the independence complex of G is precisely the f-vector of a flag complex. Moreover, we show that the h-vector of clique-whiskered graphs is exactly the h-vector of Cohen–Macaulay very well-covered graphs. In particular, we show that Kalai’s conjecture holds if G is a very well covered Cohen–Macaulay graph.
