Abstract

We consider two problems regarding vanishing patterns in the Betti table of edge ideals I over any fixed field. First, we show that the j-strand is connected if j= 3 (for j= 2 this is easy and known), and give examples where the j-strand is not connected for any j> 3. Next, we apply our result on strand connectivity to establish the subadditivity conjecture for edge ideals, ta + b(I) ≤ ta(I) + tb(I) , in case b= 2 , 3 (the case b= 1 is known). Here ti(I) denote the maximal shifts in the minimal free resolution of S / I over its polynomial algebra.
