Licci squarefree monomial ideals generated in degree two or with deviation two

We study squarefree monomial ideals which are in the linkage class of a complete intersection (we call such an ideal licci). Firstly we classify all licci edge ideals. Secondly we prove that any Cohen-Macaulay almost complete intersection squarefree monomial ideal is licci. Thirdly we characterize licci squarefree monomial ideals of deviation 2 in terms of hypergraphs associated to the ideals as an application of the classification in Kimura, Terai and Yoshida (2009) [15].
