The Lyubeznik size of a monomial ideal $I$ of a polynomial ring $S$ is a lower bound for the Stanley depth of $I$ decreased by $1$. A proof given by Herzog-Popescu-Vladoiu had a gap which is solved here.

Let $I\subset J$ be monomial ideals of a polynomial algebra $S$ over a field. Then the Stanley depth of $J/I$ is smaller or equal with the Stanley depth of $\sqrt{J}/\sqrt{I}$. We give also an upper bound for the Stanley depth of the…

Given arbitrary homogeneous ideals $I$ and $J$ in polynomial rings $A$ and $B$ over a field $k$, we investigate the depth and the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of powers of the sum $I+J$ in $A \otimes_k B$ in terms of those of $I$ and $J$.…

Let k, r, s in the natural numbers where r \geq s \geq 2. Define f(s,r,k) to be the smallest positive integer n such that for every coloring of the integers in [1,n] there exist subsets S_1 and S_2 such that: (a) S_1 and S_2 are…

We study the Stanley depth and the Hilbert depth for $I$ and $S/I$, where $I\subset S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_N]$ is the intersection of monomial prime ideals with disjoint sets of variables. As an application, we obtain bounds for the Stanley depth…

The ring of periodic distributions on ${\mathbb{R}}^{\tt d}$ with usual addition and with convolution is considered. Via Fourier series expansions, this ring is isomorphic to the ring ${\mathcal{S}}'({\mathbb{Z}}^{\tt d})$ of all maps…

We develop combinatorial tools to study the relationship between the Stanley depth of a monomial ideal $I$ and the Stanley depth of its compliment, $S/I$. Using these results we are able to prove that if $S$ is a polynomial ring with at…

We show that a monomial ideal $I$ has projective dimension $\leq$ 1 if and only if the minimal free resolution of $S/I$ is supported on a graph that is a tree. This is done by constructing specific graphs which support the resolution of the…

Lyubeznik introduced the concept of size of a monomial ideal and showed that the size of a monomial ideal increased by $1$ is a lower bound for its depth. We show that the size is also a lower bound for its Stanley depth. Applying Alexander…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and let ${\bf x} :=x_1,\ldots,x_d$ be a regular $R$-sequence contained in the Jacobson radical of $R$. An ideal $I$ of $R$ is said to be a monomial ideal with respect to ${\bf x}$ if it is generated…

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…

Let $f: B^n \rightarrow {\mathbb R}$ be a $d+1$ times continuously differentiable function on the unit ball $B^n$, with $\max_{z\in B^n} \Vert f(z) \Vert=1$. A well-known fact is that if $f$ vanishes on a set $Z\subset B^n$ with a non-empty…

Over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$, Harbourne conjectured that $$I^{(N (r-1)+1)} \subseteq I^r$$ for all $r>0$ and all homogeneous ideals $I$ in $S = \mathbb{F} [\mathbb{P}^N] = \mathbb{F} [x_0, \ldots, x_N]$. The conjecture has been…

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…

Let $f: B^n \rightarrow {\mathbb R}$ be a $d+1$ times continuously differentiable function on the unit ball $B^n$, with $\max_{z\in B^n} \| f(z) \|=1$. A well-known fact is that if $f$ vanishes on a set $Z\subset B^n$ with a non-empty…

Let $I$ be an ideal whose symbolic Rees algebra is Noetherian. For $m \geq 1$, the $m$-th symbolic defect, sdefect$(I,m)$, of $I$ is defined to be the minimal number of generators of the module $\frac{I^{(m)}}{I^m}$. We prove that…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a regular local ring or a polynomial ring over a field, and let $I$ be an ideal of $R$ which we assume to be graded if $R$ is a polynomial ring. Let astab$(I)$ resp. $\overline{\rm astab}(I)$ be the smallest…

Given a number $q$, we construct a monomial ideal $I$ with the property that the function which describes the number of generators of $I^k$ has at least $q$ local maxima.

The core of an ideal is the intersection of all its reductions. We describe the core of a zero-dimensional monomial ideal I as the largest monomial ideal contained in a general reduction of I. This provides a new interpretation of the core…

Let $(L; \sqcap, \sqcup)$ be a finite lattice and let $n$ be a positive integer. A function $f : L^n \to \mathbb{R}$ is said to be submodular if $f(\tup{a} \sqcap \tup{b}) + f(\tup{a} \sqcup \tup{b}) \leq f(\tup{a}) + f(\tup{b})$ for all…
