We extend a result of Caviglia and Sbarra to a polynomial ring with base field of any characteristic. Given a homogeneous ideal containing both a piecewise lex ideal and an ideal generated by powers of the variables, we find a lex ideal…

A subalgebra pair of semisimple complex algebras B < A with inclusion matrix M is depth two if MM^t M < nM for some positive integer n and all corresponding entries. If A and B are the group algebras of finite group-subgroup pair H < G, the…

The symbolic powers $I^{(n)}$ of a radical ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring consist of the functions that vanish up to order $n$ in the variety defined by $I$. These do not necessarily coincide with the ordinary algebraic powers $I^n$, but it…

In this paper, we characterize the (generalized) Frobenius powers and critical exponents of two classes of monomial ideals of a polynomial ring in positive characteristic: powers of the homogeneous maximal ideal, and ideals generated by…

There is a longstanding conjecture by Fr\"oberg about the Hilbert series of the ring $R/I$, where $R$ is a polynomial ring, and $I$ an ideal generated by generic forms. We prove this conjecture true in the case when $I$ is generated by a…

Let $R$ and $S$ be polynomial rings of positive dimensions over a field $k$. Let $I\subseteq R, J\subseteq S$ be non-zero homogeneous ideals none of which contains a linear form. Denote by $F$ the fiber product of $I$ and $J$ in…

One proves that the Rees algebra of an ideal generated by three general binary forms of same degree $\geq 5$ has depth one. The proof hinges on the behavior of the Ratliff-Rush filtration for low powers of the ideal and on establishing that…

Let S be a polynomial ring in n variables, over an arbitrary field. We give the total, graded, and multigraded Betti numbers of S/M, for every monomial ideal M in S. We also give an explicit characterization of all monomial ideals M in S…

The Eisenbud-Green-Harris (EGH) conjecture states that a homogeneous ideal in a polynomial ring $K[x_1,\,\ldots,\,x_n]$ over a field $K$ that contains a regular sequence $f_1,\,\ldots,\, f_n$ with degrees $a_i$, $i=1,\,\ldots,\,n$ has the…

Let $\mathbf m=(x_1,\ldots,x_n)$ be the maximal graded ideal of $S:=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$. We present a new method for computing the Hilbert depth of powers of $\mathbf m$.

We present combinatorial characterizations for the associated primes of the second power of squarefree monomial ideals and criteria for this power to have positive depth or depth greater than one.

Let $I\supsetneq J$ be two monomial ideals of a polynomial algebra over a field generated in degree $\geq d$, resp. $\geq d+1$ . We study when the Stanley Conjecture holds for $I/J$ using the recent result of \cite{IKM} concerning the…

Let $I$ be a squarefree monomial ideal of $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$. We prove that if $\operatorname{hdepth}(S/I)\leq 8$ or $n\leq 10$ then $\operatorname{hdepth}(I)\geq \operatorname{hdepth}(S/I)-1$.

Let I and J be homogeneous ideals in a standard graded polynomial ring. We study upper bounds of the Hilbert function of the intersection of I and g(J), where g is a general change of coordinates. Our main result gives a generalization of…

Let $R=\mathbb{K}[X_1, \ldots , X_n ]$ be a polynomial ring over a field $\mathbb{K}$. We introduce an endomorphism $\mathcal{F}^{[m]}: R \rightarrow R $ and denote the image of an ideal $I$ of $R$ via this endomorphism as $I^{[m]}$ and…

Let R be a local Cohen-Macaulay ring, let I be an R-ideal, and let G be the associated graded ring of I. We give an estimate for the depth of G when G is not necessarily Cohen-Macaulay. We assume that I is either equimultiple, or has…

We introduce the concept of strong persistence and show that it implies persistence regarding the associated prime ideals of the powers of an ideal. We also show that strong persistence is equivalent to a condition on power of ideals…

If $J\subset I$ are two monomials ideals, we give a practical upper bound for the Stanley depth of $J/I$, which we call it the \emph{quasi-depth} of $J/I$. Also, we compute the quasi-depth of several classes of square free monomial ideals.…

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.

We give two algorithms for computing the Hilbert depth of a \emph{graded ideal} in the polynomial ring. These algorithms work efficiently for (squarefree) lex ideals. As a consequence, we construct counterexamples to some conjectures made…
