Abstract

We consider homogeneous binomial ideals I=(f1,,fn)I=(f_1,\ldots,f_n) in K[x1,,xn]K[x_1, \ldots, x_n], where fi=aixidibimif_i = a_i x_i^{d_i} - b_i m_i and ai0a_i \neq 0. When such an ideal is a complete intersection, we show that the monomials which are not divisible by xidix_i^{d_i} for i=1,,ni=1,\ldots,n form a vector space basis for the corresponding quotient, and we describe the Macaulay dual generator in terms of a directed graph that we associate to II. These two properties can be seen as a natural generalization of well-known properties for monomial complete intersections. Moreover, we give a description of the radical of the resultant of II in terms of the directed graph.
