| contents | Edge ideals of graphs were introduced by Villarreal in 1990, and have been the subject of many studies since then. In the same year, Fröberg characterized edge ideals with regularity 2 in combinatorial terms. This result was generalized by Fernández-Ramos and Gimenez to regularity 3 for bipartite graphs. A key ingredient in these results is the particular shape of the Betti diagrams of the edge ideals of the graphs obtained after removing a Hamiltonian cycle from either a complete graph $ K_k$ or a complete bipartite graph $K_{k,k}$.
In this work, we consider the family of Generalized Andrásfai graphs ${\rm GA}(t,k)$ with $t\geq 1 $ and $k \geq 2$. This family extends the families of complete graphs, since $K_{k+1} = {\rm GA}(1,k)$, and complete bipartite $k$-regular graphs, since $K_{k,k} = {\rm GA}(2,k)$. We show that the results known for $ K_k$ and $ K_{k,k}$ can be naturally extended to this family. More precisely, when removing a suitable Hamiltonian cycle from ${\rm GA}(t,k)$, the resulting edge ideal has regularity $t+2$, projective dimension $t(k-2)$ and a Betti diagram exhibiting a generalized version of the same special shape. |
