Stability of Depths of Powers of Edge Ideals

Abstract

Let $G$ be a graph and let $I := I (G)$ be its edge ideal. In this paper, we provide an upper bound of $n$ from which $\depth R/ I(G)^n$ is stationary, and compute this limit explicitly. This bound is always achieved if $G$ has no cycles of length $4$ and every its connected component is either a tree or a unicyclic graph.
