Algebraic invariants of weighted oriented graphs

Abstract

Let $\mathcal{D}$ be a weighted oriented graph and let $I(\mathcal{D})$ be its edge ideal in a polynomial ring $R$. We give the formula of Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of $R/I(\mathcal{D})$ when $\mathcal{D}$ is a weighted oriented path or cycle such that edges of $\mathcal{D}$ are oriented in one direction. Additionally, we compute the projective dimension for this class of graphs.
