Abstract

Let KK be a field, VV a KK-vector space with basis e1,,ene_1,\ldots,e_n, and EE the exterior algebra of VV. To a given monomial ideal IEI\subsetneq E we associate a special monomial ideal JJ with generators in the same degrees as those of II and such that the number of the minimal monomial generators in each degree of II and JJ coincide. We call JJ the colexsegment ideal associated to II. We prove that the class of strongly stable ideals in EE generated in one degree satisfies the colex lower bound, that is, the total Betti numbers of the colexsegment ideal associated to a strongly stable ideal IEI\subsetneq E generated in one degree are smaller than or equal to those of II.
