Abstract:
Graphs with whiskers have first been considered by R.H.Villarreal in 1990. These graphs share the nice property that they are Cohen-Macaulay. Various extensions of this concept and generalizations of his result have been considered.
In this talk a simplicial complex corresponding to a zero-dimensional monomial ideal I is considered. This simplicial complex is called of whisker type. The independence complex of this simplicial complex is vertex decomposable. Moreover, all the powers of the Alexander dual of the polarization of the ideal I have linear quotients. An explicit formula for the depth function of these ideals will be given.
