A Hilbert basis is a set of vectors X⊆ R d such that the integer cone (semigroup) generated by X is the intersection of the lattice generated by X with the cone generated by X. Let ℋ be the class of graphs whose set of cuts is a Hilbert basis in R E (regarded as {0, 1}-characteristic vectors indexed by edges). We show that ℋ is not closed under edge deletions, subdivisions, nor 2-sums. Furthermore, no graph having K 6∖ e as a minor belongs to ℋ. This corrects an error in Laurent (1996). For positive results, we give conditions under which the 2-sum of two graphs produces a member of ℋ. Using these conditions we show that all K 5⊥-minor-free graphs are in ℋ, where K 5⊥ is the unique 3-connected graph obtained by uncontracting an edge of K 5. We also establish a relationship between edge deletion and subdivision. Namely, if G′ is obtained from G∈ ℋ by subdividing e two or more times, then G∖ e∈ ℋ if and only if G′∈ ℋ.
