Abstract

Let [Formula: see text] be the edge monomial ideal of a graph [Formula: see text], whose vertex set is [Formula: see text]. [Formula: see text] is implosive if the symbolic Rees algebra [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] has a minimal system of generators [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] are square-free monomials. We give some structural properties of implosive graphs and we prove that they are closed under clique-sums and odd subdivisions. Furthermore, we prove that universally signable graphs are implosive. We show that odd holes, odd antiholes and some Truemper configurations (prisms, thetas and even wheels) are implosive. Moreover, we study excluded families of subgraphs for the class of implosive graphs. In particular, we characterize which Truemper configurations and extensions of odd holes and antiholes are minimal nonimplosive.
