Each partition $\lambda = (\lambda_1, \lambda_2, ..., \lambda_n)$ determines a so-called Ferrers tableau or, equivalently, a Ferrers bipartite graph. Its edge ideal, dubbed Ferrers ideal, is a squarefree monomial ideal that is generated by…

An ideal $I$ of a commutative ring $R$ is said to be of linear type when its Rees algebra and symmetric algebra exhibit isomorphism. In this paper, we investigate the conjecture put forth by Jayanthan, Kumar, and Sarkar (2021) that if $G$…

This paper investigates the v-number of various classes of monomial ideals. First, we considers the relationship between the v-number and the regularity of the mixed product ideal $I$, proving that $\mathrm{v}(I) \leq \mathrm{reg}(S/I)$.…

In 2017, Cooper et al. proposed a conjecture providing a lower bound for the Waldschmidt constant of monomial ideals. We confirm this conjecture for some classes of monomial ideals. Recently, M\'endez, Pinto, and Villarreal formulated a…

In a 2008 paper, the first author and Van Tuyl proved that the regularity of the edge ideal of a graph G is at most one greater than the matching number of G. In this note, we provide a generalization of this result to any square-free…

In this paper, we first show that any square-free monomial ideal in $K[x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, x_5]$ has the strong persistence property. Next we will provide a criterion for a minimal counterexample to the Conforti-Cornuejols conjecture.…

A graph-theoretic method, simpler than existing ones, is used to characterize the minimal set of monomial generators for the integral closure of any algebra of polynomials generated by quadratic monomials. The toric ideal of relations…

Each (equigenerated) squarefree monomial ideal in the polynomial ring $S=\mathbb{K}[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ represents a family of subsets of $[n]$, called a (uniform) clutter. In this paper, we introduce a class of uniform clutters, called…

A special class of algebras which are intermediate between the symmetric and the Rees algebras of an ideal was introduced by P. Aluffi in 2004 to define characteristic cycle of a hypersurface parallel to conormal cycle in intersection…

Let $S=K[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over a field $K$ and $I\subset S$ be a squarefree monomial ideal generated in degree $n-2$. Motivated by the remarkable behavior of the powers of $I$ when $I$ admits a linear resolution, as…

We give an especially simple proof of a theorem in graph theory that forms the key part of the solution to a problem in commutative algebra, on how to characterize the integral closure of a polynomial ring generated by quadratic monomials.

Let $I$ be an arbitrary nonzero squarefree monomial ideal of dimension $d$ in a polynomial ring $S = \mathrm{k}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$. Let $\mu$ be the number of associated primes of $S/I$ of dimension $d$. We prove that the multiplicity of…

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.…

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.

Let $I$ be a two-dimensional squarefree monomial ideal of a polynomial ring $S$. We evaluate the geometric regularity, $a_i$-invariants for $i\geq 1$ of the power $I^n$. It turns out they are all linear functions in $n$ from $n=2$.…

Let $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over a field $K$, and let $A$ be a finitely generated standard graded $S$-algebra. We show that if the defining ideal of $A$ has a quadratic initial ideal, then all the graded components of…

Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity is a measure of algebraic complexity of an ideal. Regularity of monomial ideals can be investigated combinatorially. We use a simple graph decomposition and results from structural graph theory to prove,…

We investigate symbolic and regular powers of monomial ideals. For a square-free monomial ideal $I$ in $k[x_0, \ldots, x_n]$ we show $I^{t(m+e-1)-e+r)}$ is a subset of $M^{(t-1)(e-1)+r-1}(I^{(m)})^t$ for all positive integers $m$, $t$ and…
