Depth functions of powers of homogeneous ideals

Commutative Algebra 2021-10-18 v1 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

We settle a conjecture of Herzog and Hibi, which states that the function depth S/QnS/Q^n, n1n \ge 1, where QQ is a homogeneous ideal in a polynomial ring SS, can be any convergent numerical function. We also give a positive answer to a long-standing open question of Ratliff on the associated primes of powers of ideals.
