Invariants of the symbolic powers of edge ideals

Abstract

Let [Formula: see text] be a graph and [Formula: see text] be its edge ideal. When [Formula: see text] is the clique sum of two different length odd cycles joined at single vertex then we give an explicit description of the symbolic powers of [Formula: see text] and compute the Waldschmidt constant. When [Formula: see text] is complete graph then we describe the generators of the symbolic powers of [Formula: see text] and compute the Waldschmidt constant and the resurgence of [Formula: see text]. Moreover for complete graph we prove that the Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity of the symbolic powers and ordinary powers of the edge ideal coincide.
