Associated primes and v-numbers of integral closures of powers of edge ideals
Abstract
Let I = I(G) be the edge ideal of a finite simple graph G. We investigate the relationship between the associated primes and v-numbers of powers It and their integral closures It̅. For the third power, we establish the associated prime containment Ass(S/I3̅) ⊆ Ass(S/I3), which yields v(I3) ≤ v(I3̅). In contrast, for t ≥ 4, we show that Ass(S/It̅) and Ass(S/It) are in general incomparable. Furthermore, for every fixed t ≥ 3 and r≥ 4, we construct families of graphs for which the discrepancies v(It̅) − v(It) and v(Ir)−v(Ir̅) are arbitrarily large.

AB - Let I = I(G) be the edge ideal of a finite simple graph G. We investigate the relationship between the associated primes and v-numbers of powers I^t and their integral closures I^t̅. For the third power, we establish the associated prime containment Ass(S/I^3̅) ⊆ Ass(S/I^3), which yields v(I^3) ≤ v(I^3̅). In contrast, for t ≥ 4, we show that Ass(S/I^t̅) and Ass(S/I^t) are in general incomparable. Furthermore, for every fixed t ≥ 3 and r≥ 4, we construct families of graphs for which the discrepancies v(I^t̅) − v(I^t) and v(I^r)−v(I^r̅) are arbitrarily large.
