ON THE DEPTH OF SYMBOLIC POWERS OF EDGE IDEALS OF GRAPHS

Abstract: Assume that

G

is a graph with edge ideal

I (G)

and star packing number

a l p h a_{2} (G)

. We denote the

s

-th symbolic power of

I (G)

by

I (G)^{(s)}

. It is shown that the inequality

m d e p t h S / (I (G)^{(s)}) g e q a l p h a_{2} (G) - s + 1

is true for every chordal graph

G

and every integer

s g e q 1

. Moreover, it is proved that for any graph

G

, we have

m d e p t h S / (I (G)^{(2)}) g e q a l p h a_{2} (G) - 1

.
