An oriented graph $G^{\sigma}$ is a simple undirected graph $G$ with an orientation $\sigma$, which assigns to each edge a direction so that $G^{\sigma}$ becomes a directed graph. $G$ is called the underlying graph of $G^{\sigma}$, and we denote by $Sp(G)$ the adjacency spectrum of $G$. Skew-adjacency matrix $S( G^{\sigma} )$ of $G^{\sigma}$ is introduced, and its spectrum $Sp_S( G^{\sigma} )$ is called the skew-spectrum of $G^{\sigma}$. The relationship between $Sp_S( G^{\sigma} )$ and $Sp(G)$ is studied. In particular, we prove that (i) $Sp_S( G^{\sigma} ) = {\bf i} Sp(G)$ for some orientation $\sigma$ if and only if $G$ is bipartite, (ii) $Sp_S(G^{\sigma}) = {\bf i} Sp(G)$ for any orientation $\sigma$ if and only if $G$ is a forest, where ${\bf i}=\sqrt{-1}$.

Let [Formula: see text] be a weighted oriented graph with the underlying graph [Formula: see text] when vertices with non-trivial weights are sinks and [Formula: see text] be the edge ideals corresponding to [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] respectively. We give an explicit description of the symbolic powers of [Formula: see text] using the concept of strong vertex covers. We show that the ordinary and symbolic powers of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] behave in a similar way. We provide a description for symbolic powers and Waldschmidt constant of [Formula: see text] for certain classes of weighted oriented graphs. When [Formula: see text] is a weighted oriented odd cycle, we compute [Formula: see text] and prove [Formula: see text] and show that equality holds when there is only one vertex with non-trivial weight.

Let [Formula: see text] be a weighted oriented graph and let [Formula: see text] be its edge ideal. Under a natural condition that the underlying (undirected) graph of [Formula: see text] contains a perfect matching consisting of leaves, we provide several equivalent conditions for the Cohen–Macaulayness of [Formula: see text]. We also completely characterize the Cohen–Macaulayness of [Formula: see text] when the underlying graph of [Formula: see text] is a bipartite graph. When [Formula: see text] fails to be Cohen–Macaulay, we give an instance where [Formula: see text] is shown to be sequentially Cohen–Macaulay.

An oriented graph $\overleftarrow{G}$ is a simple undirected graph $G$ with an orientation, which assigns to each edge a direction so that $\overleftarrow{G}$ becomes a directed graph. $G$ is called the underlying graph of $\overleftarrow{G}$ and we denote by $S(\overleftarrow{G})$ the skew-adjacency matrix of $\overleftarrow{G}$ and its spectrum $Sp(\overleftarrow{G})$ is called the skew-spectrum of $\overleftarrow{G}$. In this paper, the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of the skew-adjacency matrix $S(\overleftarrow{G}) $ are given in terms of $\overleftarrow{G}$ and as its applications, new combinatorial proofs of known results are obtained and new families of oriented bipartite graphs $\overleftarrow{G}$ with $Sp(\overleftarrow{G})={\bf i} Sp(G) $ are given.

Let $I=I(D)$ be the edge ideal of a weighted oriented graph $D$ whose underlying graph is $G$. We determine the irredundant irreducible decomposition of $I$. Also, we characterize the associated primes and the unmixed property of $I$. Furthermore, we give a combinatorial characterization for the unmixed property of $I$, when $G$ is bipartite, $G$ is a graph with whiskers or $G$ is a cycle. Finally, we study the Cohen–Macaulay property of $I$.

A word labeled oriented graph (WLOG) is an oriented graph [Formula: see text] on vertices X = {x1,…,xn}, where each oriented edge is labeled by a word in X±1. WLOGs give rise to presentations which generalize Wirtinger presentations of knots. WLOG presentations, where the underlying graph is a tree, are of central importance in view of Whitehead's Asphericity Conjecture. We present a class of aspherical word labeled oriented graphs. This class can be used to produce highly non-injective aspherical labeled oriented trees and also aspherical cyclically presented groups.

An oriented graph ${G^{\sigma}}$ is a simple undirected graph $G$ with an orientation, which assigns to each edge of $G$ a direction so that ${G^{\sigma}}$ becomes a directed graph. $G$ is called the underlying graph of ${G^{\sigma}}$ and we denote by $S({G^{\sigma}})$ the skew-adjacency matrix of ${G^{\sigma}}$ and its spectrum $Sp({G^{\sigma}})$ is called the skew-spectrum of ${G^{\sigma}}$. In this paper, the skew spectra of two orientations of the Cartesian products are discussed, as applications, new families of oriented bipartite graphs ${G^{\sigma}}$ with $Sp({G^{\sigma}})={\bf i} Sp(G)$ are given and the orientation of a product graph with maximum skew energy is obtained.

Let D be a weighted oriented graph, whose underlying graph is G, and let I (D) be its edge ideal. If G has no 3-, 5-, or 7-cycles, or G is Kőnig, we characterize when I (D) is unmixed. If G has no 3- or 5-cycles, or G is Kőnig, we characterize when I (D) is Cohen–Macaulay. We prove that I (D) is unmixed if and only if I (D) is Cohen–Macaulay when G has girth greater than 7 or G is Kőnig and has no 4-cycles.
