Abstract: Linear resolutions are typically considered to be the most simple among minimal free resolutions of graded modules. The linearity defect of a module measures how far a it is from having a linear free resolution. Over a polynomial ring, ideals with linearity defect zero are exactly componentwise linear ideals. I will focus on clarifying the significance of the linearity defect in a combinatorial setting, specifically, that of edge ideals. A motivation comes from Fröberg's theorem on edge ideals with linear resolutions, which can be seen as a classification of edge ideals with linearity defect zero. The theory of Betti splittings and Sega's characterization of the linearity defect play an important role in our study.
