Let $I$ be a monomial ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring $R = k[x_1,...,x_r]$. In this paper we give an upper bound on $\overline{\dstab} (I)$ in terms of $r$ and the maximal generating degree $d(I)$ of $I$ such that $\depth R/\overline{I^n}$…

Let $R$ be a polynomial ring over a field $K$. To a given squarefree monomial ideal $I \subset R$, one can associate a hypergraph $H(I)$. In this article, we prove that the arithmetical rank of $I$ is equal to the projective dimension of…

We show that for proving the Stanley conjecture, it is sufficient to consider a very special class of monomial ideals. These ideals (or rather their lcm lattices) are in bijection with the simplicial spanning trees of skeletons of a…

Given a square-free monomial ideal $I$, satisfying certain hypotheses, in a polynomial ring $R$ over a field $\mathbb{K}$, we compute the projective dimension of $I$. Specifically, we focus on the cases where the 1-skeleton of an associated…

We introduce the notion of sortability and $t$-sortability for a simplicial complex and study the graphs for which their independence complexes are either sortable or $t$-sortable. We show that the proper interval graphs are precisely the…

Let $R$ be a polynomial ring in $N$ variables over an arbitrary field $K$ and let $I$ be an ideal of $R$ generated by $n$ polynomials of degree at most 2. We show that there is a bound on the projective dimension of $R/I$ that depends only…

There is a natural one-to-one correspondence between squarefree monomial ideals and finite simple hypergraphs via the cover ideal construction. Let H be a finite simple hypergraph, and let J = J(H) be its cover ideal in a polynomial ring R.…

In a recent work, Kaiser, Stehl\'ik and \v{S}krekovski provide a family of critically 3-chromatic graphs whose expansions do not result in critically 4-chromatic graphs, and thus give counterexamples to a conjecture of Francisco, Ha and Van…

An equigenerated monomial ideal $I$ in the polynomial ring $R=k[z_1,\ldots, z_n]$ is a Freiman ideal if $\mu(I^2)=\ell(I)\mu(I)-{\ell(I)\choose 2}$ where $\ell(I)$ is the analytic spread of $I$ and $\mu(I)$ is the number of minimal…

Let $R=\mathbb{K}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$, a graded algebra $S=R/I$ satisfies $N_{k,p}$ if $I$ is generated in degree $k$, and the graded minimal resolution is linear the first $p$ steps, and the $k$-index of $S$ is the largest $p$ such that $S$…

We show that the number of elements generating a squarefree monomial ideal up to radical can always be bounded above in terms of the number of its minimal monomial generators and the maximal height of its minimal primes.

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the Betti diagrams of squarefree monomial ideals in polynomial rings. We use two key tools to help us study these diagrams. The first is the Stanley-Reisner Correspondence, which assigns a unique…

Given a squarefree monomial ideal $I \subseteq R =k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, we show that $\widehat\alpha(I)$, the Waldschmidt constant of $I$, can be expressed as the optimal solution to a linear program constructed from the primary decomposition…

Let $G$ be a graph with $n$ vertices and let $S=\mathbb{K}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $\mathbb{K}$. Assume that $I(G)$ and $J(G)$ denote the edge ideal and the cover ideal of $G$, respectively. We…

We show that all monomial ideals in the polynomial ring in at most 3 variables are pretty clean and that an arbitrary monomial ideal $I$ is pretty clean if and only if its polarization $I^p$ is clean. This yields a new characterization of…

Assume that $G$ is a graph with edge ideal $I(G)$ and star packing number $\alpha_2(G)$. We denote the $s$-th symbolic power of $I(G)$ by $I(G)^{(s)}$. It is shown that the inequality ${\rm depth} S/(I(G)^{(s)})\geq \alpha_2(G)-s+1$ is true…
