Abstract

Let G be a graph with n vertices, S=\mathbbK[x1,…,xn] be the polynomial ring in n variables over a field \mathbbK and I(G) denote the edge ideal of G. For every collection H of connected graphs with K2∈ H, we introduce the notions of \ind-matchH(G) and min-matchH(G). It will be proved that the inequalities \ind-match_\K2, C5\(G)≤\rm reg(S/I(G))≤min-match_\K2, C5\(G) are true. Moreover, we show that if G is a Cohen--Macaulay graph with girth at least five, then \rm reg(S/I(G))=\ind-match_\K2, C5\(G). Furthermore, we prove that if G is a paw--free and doubly Cohen--Macaulay graph, then \rm reg(S/I(G))=\ind-match_\K2, C5\(G) if and only if every connected component of G is either a complete graph or a 5-cycle graph. Among other results, we show that for every doubly Cohen--Macaulay simplicial complex, the equality \rm reg(\mathbbK[Δ])=\rm dim(\mathbbK[Δ]) holds.
