Title: Cut and related polytopes in commutative algebra
Abstract: The study of cuts in graphs is an interesting topic in discrete
mathematics and optimization with relations and applications to many other
fields such as algebraic geometry, algebraic statistics and commutative
algebra. Here we focus on cut algebras, which are toric algebras and each
ones is defined by all cuts of a given graph, and similar constructions.
We discuss known and new results as well as open questions related to
algebraic properties of such algebras and their defining ideals.
