Arithmetical rank and cohomological dimension of generalized binomial edge ideals

Abstract: Let

G

be a connected and simple graph on the vertex set

[n]

. To the graph

G

one can associate the generalized binomial edge ideal

J_{m} (G)

in the polynomial ring

R = K [x_{i j} : i i n [m], j i n [n]]

. We provide a lower bound for the cohomological dimension of

J_{m} (G)

. We also study when

J_{m} (G)

is a cohomologically complete intersection. Finally, we show that the arithmetical rank of

J_{2} (G)

equals the projective dimension of

R / J_{2} (G)

in several cases.
