We present a class of homogeneous ideals which are generated by monomials and binomials of degree two and are set-theoretic complete intersections. This class includes certain reducible varieties of minimal degree and, in particular, the…
Given a finite alphabet X and an ordering on the letters, the map \sigma sends each monomial on X to the word that is the ordered product of the letter powers in the monomial. Motivated by a question on Groebner bases, we characterize…
We define the Buchberger resolution, which is a graded free resolution of a monomial ideal in a polynomial ring. Its construction uses a generalization of the Buchberger graph and encodes much of the combinatorics of the Buchberger…
We describe the Taylor and Lyubeznik resolutions as simplicial resolutions, and use them to show that the Scarf complex of a monomial ideal is the intersection of all its minimal free resolutions.
We use the lcm-lattice of a monomial ideal to study its minimal free resolutions. A new concept called a Taylor basis of a minimal free resolution is introduced and then used throughout the paper. We give a method of constructing minimal…
Given a $d \times n$ integer matrix $A$, the main result is an elementary, simple-to-state algorithm that finds the largest $A$-graded ideal contained in any ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring $\Bbbk[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$. The special case where $A$…
An explicit construction is given of a minimal free resolution of the ideal generated by all squarefree monomials of a given degree. The construction relies upon and exhibits the natural action of the symmetric group on the syzygy modules.…
Binomial ideals are special polynomial ideals with many algorithmically and theoretically nice properties. We discuss the problem of deciding if a given polynomial ideal is binomial. While the methods are general, our main motivation and…
Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field and $I$ be a square-free monomial ideal in the polynomial ring $\mathbb{K}[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$. The Green-Lazarsfeld index, $\mathrm{index}(I)$, counts the number of steps to reach to a syzygy minimally generated…
In this note we show that the initial ideal of the annihilator ideal of a generic form is generated by the largest possible monomials in each degree. We also show that the initial ideal with respect to the degree reverse lexicographical…
We study basic properties of monomial ideals with linear quotients. It is shown that if the monomial ideal $I$ has linear quotients, then the squarefree part of $I$ and each component of $I$ as well as $\mm I$ have linear quotients, where…
We classify the minimal number of generators of artinian equigenerated monomial ideals $I$ such that $\Bbbk[x_1,\ldots,x_n]/I$ is forced to have the weak Lefschetz property.
Well ordered covers of square-free monomial ideals are subsets of the minimal generating set ordered in a certain way that give rise to a Lyubeznik resolution for the ideal, and have guaranteed nonvanishing Betti numbers in certain degrees.…
Let $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be the ring of polynomials in $n$ variables over an arbitrary field $K$. Given a finitely generated multigraded module $M$, its Stanley length, denoted by $\operatorname{slength}(M)$, is the minimal length of a…
The universal Gr\"{o}bner basis of $I$, is a Gr\"{o}bner basis for $I$ with respect to all term orders simultaneously. Let $I_G$ be the toric ideal of a graph $G$. We characterize in graph theoretical terms the elements of the universal…
We characterize monomial ideals which are intersections of monomial prime ideals and study classes of ideals with this property, among them polymatroidal ideals.
We present an efficient algorithm for computing the leading monomials of a minimal Groebner basis of a generic sequence of homogeneous polynomials. Our approach bypasses costly polynomial reductions by exploiting structural properties…
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 notion of initial ideal for an ideal of a polynomial ring appears in the theory of Gr\"obner basis. Similarly to the initial ideals, we can define the initial algebra for a subalgebra of a polynomial ring, or more generally of a Laurent…
Using discrete Morse theory, we give an algorithm that prunes the excess of information in the Taylor resolution and constructs a new cellular free resolution for an arbitrary monomial ideal. The pruned resolution is not simplicial in…
