Let $R=K[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$ be the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ and $I$ be a monomial ideal of degree $d\leq 2$. We show that $(I^{k+1}:I)=I^k$ for all $k\geq 1$ and we disprove a motivation question that was appeared in…
We introduce a construction, called linearization, that associates to any monomial ideal $I$ an ideal $\mathrm{Lin}(I)$ in a larger polynomial ring. The main feature of this construction is that the new ideal $\mathrm{Lin}(I)$ has linear…
Let $R=\Bbbk[x_1,\..., x_n]$ and $M=R^s/I$ a multigraded squarefree module. We discuss the construction of cochain complexes associated to $M$ and we show how to interpret homological invariants of $M$ in terms of topological computations.…
Given a nonincreasing function $f : \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0} \setminus \{ 0 \} \to \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$ such that (i) $f(k) - f(k+1) \leq 1$ for all $k \geq 1$ and (ii) if $a = f(1)$ and $b = \lim_{k \to \infty} f(k)$, then $|f^{-1}(a)| \leq…
Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field and $S=\mathbb{K}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over the field $\mathbb{K}$. Suppose that $\mathcal{C}$ is a chordal clutter with $n$ vertices and assume that the minimum edge…
Let $I$ be a square-free monomial ideal in $R = k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, and consider the sets of associated primes ${\rm Ass}(I^s)$ for all integers $s \geq 1$. Although it is known that the sets of associated primes of powers of $I$ eventually…
The support poset of a monomial ideal $I\subseteq\mathbf{k}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ encodes the relation between the variables $x_1,\dots,x_n$ and the minimal monomial generators of $I$. It is known that not every poset is realizable as the support…
Every monomial ideal $I$ has a Scarf complex, which is a subcomplex of its minimal free resolution. We say that $I$ is Scarf if its Scarf complex is also its minimal free resolution. In this paper, we fully characterize all pairs $(G,n)$ of…
For an arbitrary ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring $R$ we define the notion of initially regular sequences on $R/I$. These sequences share properties with regular sequences. In particular, the length of an initially regular sequence provides a…
We investigate the structure of ideals generated by binomials (polynomials with at most two terms) and the schemes and varieties associated to them. The class of binomial ideals contains many classical examples from algebraic geometry, and…
Let S=K[x_1,x_2,...,x_n] be a polynomial ring in n variables over a field K. Stanley's conjecture holds for the modules I and S/I, when I is a critical monomial ideal. We calculate the Stanley depth of S/I when I is a canonical critical…
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 study the normalization of a monomial ideal, and show how to compute its Hilbert function (using Ehrhart polynomials) if the ideal is zero dimensional. A positive lower bound for the second coefficient of the Hilbert polynomial is shown.
For an ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring over a field, a monomial support of $I$ is the set of monomials that appear as terms in a set of minimal generators of $I$. Craig Huneke asked whether the size of a monomial support is a bound for the…
Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero, let $I \subset S = K[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ be a homogeneous ideal, and let $\partial(I)$ be its gradient ideal. We study the relationship between $\mathrm{reg}\,I$ and $\mathrm{reg}\,\partial(I)$. While…
Let $R = \mathbb{K}[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ be a polynomial ring over a field $\mathbb{K}$, and let $I \subseteq R$ be a monomial ideal of height $h$. We provide a formula for the multiplicity of the powers of $I$ when all the primary ideals of…
We prove that a monomial ideal $I$ generated in a single degree, is polymatroidal if and only if it has linear quotients with respect to the lexicographical ordering of the minimal generators induced by every ordering of variables. We also…
We classify the squarefree ideals which are Gotzmann in a polynomial ring.
We study the set of monomial ideals in a polynomial ring as an ordered set, with the ordering given by reverse inclusion. We give a short proof of the fact that every antichain of monomial ideals is finite. Then we investigate ordinal…
A symmetric ideal is an ideal in a polynomial ring which is stable under all permutations of the variables. In this paper we initiate a global study of zero-dimensional symmetric ideals. By this we mean a geometric study of the invariant…
