A note on independence complexes of chordal graphs and dismantling
The electronic journal of combinatorics, Tome 24 (2017) no. 2
We show that the independence complex of a chordal graph is contractible if and only if this complex is dismantlable (strong collapsible) and it is homotopy equivalent to a sphere if and only if its core is a cross-polytopal sphere. The proof uses the properties of tree models of chordal graphs.
