Let $K$ be a field and $I$ a monomial ideal of the polynomial ring $S=K[x_1,..., x_n]$ generated by monomials $u_1,u_2,..., u_t$. We show that $S/I$ is pretty clean if either: 1) $u_1,u_2,..., u_t$ is a filter-regular sequence, 2)…

Let $R=K[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$ be the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ and $I$ be monomial ideal of $R$. In this paper, we show that if $I$ is a generic monomial ideal, then $R/I$ is pretty clean if and only if $R/I$ is…

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…

We introduce pretty $k$-clean monomial ideals and $k$-decomposable multicomplexes, respectively, as the extensions of the notions of $k$-clean monomial ideals and $k$-decomposable simplicial complexes. We show that a multicomplex $\Gamma$…

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…

Let $I$ be a monomial ideal of the polynomial ring $S=K[x_1,...,x_4]$ over a field $K$. Then $S/I$ is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay if and only if $S/I$ is pretty clean. In particular, if $S/I$ is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay then $I$ is a…

Let $I$ be a monomial ideal in a polynomial ring $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ over a field $K$ with $n=2$ or $3$, and let $\overline{I}$ be its integral closure. We will show that $\text{reg} (\overline{I}) \le \text{reg} (I)$. Furthermore, if $I$…

A ring $R$ is uniquely (strongly) clean provided that for any $a\in R$ there exists a unique idempotent $e\in R \big(\in comm(a)\big)$ such that $a-e\in U(R)$. Let $R$ be a uniquely bleached ring. We prove, in this note, that $R$ is…

An element $a\in R$ is very clean provided that there exists an idempotent $e\in R$ such that $ae=ea$ and either $a-e$ or $a+e$ is invertible. A ring $R$ is very clean in case every element in $R$ is very clean. We explore the necessary and…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of $k$-clean monomial ideals as an extension of clean monomial ideals and present some homological and combinatorial properties of them. Using the hierarchal structure of $k$-clean ideals, we show…

Many authors have investigated the behavior of strong cleanness under certain ring extensions. In this note, we prove that if $R$ is a ring which is complete with respect to an ideal $I$ and if $x$ is an element of $R$ whose image in $R/I$…

We introduce the concept of quasi-linearity and prove it is necessary for a monomial ideal to have a linear resolution and identify all the quasi-linear quadratic monomial ideals. We define a strongly linear monomial for a monomial ideal…

We construct an example of a unit-regular ring which is not strongly clean, answering an open question of Nicholson. We also characterize clean matrices with a zero column, and this allows us to describe an interesting connection between…

An element $a$ of a ring $R$ is called perfectly clean if there exists an idempotent $e\in comm^2(a)$ such that $a-e\in U(R)$. A ring $R$ is perfectly clean in case every element in $R$ is perfectly clean. In this paper, we investigate…

We introduce pretty clean modules, extending the notion of clean modules by Dress, and show that pretty clean modules are sequentially Cohen-Macaulay. We also extend a theorem of Dress on shellable simplicial complexes to multicomplexes.

Let $\Delta$ be a pure simplicial complex and $I_\Delta$ its Stanley-Reisner ideal in a polynomial ring $S$. We show that $\Delta$ is a matroid (complete intersection) if and only if $S/I_\Delta^{(m)}$ ($S/I_\Delta^m$) is clean for all…

A ring $R$ is strongly clean provided that every element in $R$ is the sum of an idempotent and a unit that commutate. Let $T_n(R,\sigma)$ be the skew triangular matrix ring over a local ring $R$ where $\sigma$ is an endomorphism of $R$. We…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, $G$ a reductive group over $k$, and $V$ a finite dimensional $G$-module. Let $B$ be a Borel subgroup of $G$, and $U$ its unipotent radical. We prove that if $S=\Sym V$ has…

We use initially regular sequences that consist of linear sums to explore the depth of $R/I^2$, when $I$ is a monomial ideal in a polynomial ring $R$. We give conditions under which these linear sums form regular or initially regular…

We give equivalent conditions for a monomial sequence to be a d-sequence or a proper sequence, and a sufficient condition for a monomial sequence to be an s-sequence in order to compute invariants of the symmetric algebra of the ideal…
