Abstract: We investigate the analogy between squarefree Cohen-Macaulay modules supported on a graph and line bundles on a curve. We prove a Riemann-Roch theorem, we study the Jacobian and gonality of a graph, and we prove Clifford's theorem.

Review text

The authors study Cohen-Macaulay squarefree modules whose support is a graph. These may be thought of as analogues of line bundles on smooth projective curves. Inspired by this the authors show how results from the theory of line bundles on curves have analogues in the theory of squarefree Cohen-Macaulay modules on graphs. They also prove a Riemann-Roch theorem for graphs. Furthermore, they study the Jacobian and gonality of a graph. Finally, they prove Clifford's theorem for graphs.
