Abstract

In this paper we introduce discrete polymatroids satisfying the one-sided strong exchange property and show that they are sortable (as a consequence their base rings are Koszul) and that they satisfy White's conjecture. Since any pruned lattice path polymatroid satisfies the one-sided strong exchange property, this result provides an alternative proof for one of the main theorems of J. Schweig in \cite{Sc}, where it is shown that every pruned lattice path polymatroid satisfies White's conjecture. In addition, for two classes of pruned lattice path polymatroidal ideals II and their powers we determine their depth and their associated prime ideals, and furthermore determine the least power kk for which \depthS/Ik\depth S/I^k and \Ass(S/Ik)\Ass(S/I^k) stabilize. It turns out that \depthS/Ik\depth S/I^k stabilizes precisely when if \Ass(S/Ik)\Ass(S/I^k) stabilizes.
