There is a natural infinite graph whose vertices are the monomial ideals in a polynomial ring. The definition involves Gr\"obner bases or the action of an algebraic torus. We present algorithms for computing the (affine schemes…

To any lattice $L \subset \mathbb{Z}^{m}$ one can associate the lattice ideal $I_{L} \subset K[x_{1},...,x_{m}]$. This paper concerns the study of the relation between the binomial arithmetical rank and the minimal number of generators of…

Assume that $X$ is an affine toric variety of characteristic $p > 0$. Let $\Delta$ be an effective toric $Q$-divisor such that $K_X+\Delta$ is $Q$-Cartier with index not divisible by $p$ and let $\phi_{\Delta}:F^e_* O_X \to O_X$ be the…

We study conditions on polynomials such that the ideal generated by their orbits under the symmetric group action becomes a monomial ideal or has a monomial radical. If the polynomials are homogeneous, we expect that such an ideal has a…

Let $I_{L, \rho}$ be a lattice ideal. We provide a necessary and sufficient criterion under which a set of binomials in $I_{L, \rho}$ generate the radical of $I_{L, \rho}$ up to radical. We apply our results to the problem of determining…

Let $I_M$ and $I_N$ be defining ideals of toric varieties such that $I_M$ is a projection of $I_N$, i.e. $I_N \subseteq I_M$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the equality $I_M=rad(I_N+(f_1,...,f_s))$, where $f_1,...,f_s$…

We determine a term order on the monomials in the variables $\varx{i}{j}$, $1 \leq i < j \leq n$, such that corresponding initial ideal of the ideal of Pfaffians of degree $r$ of a generic $n$ by $n$ skew-symmetric matrix is the…

Let $k$ be a field of positive characteristic and $R = k[x_0,\dots, x_n]$. We consider ideals $I\subseteq R$ generated by homogeneous polynomials of degree $d$. Takagi and Watanabe proved that $\mathrm{fpt}(I)\geq \mathrm{height}(I)/d$; we…

We investigate the defining ideal of the algebra over a field generated by the join-meet binomials coming from a finite distributive lattice. In the frame of algebras with straightening laws, the problem when the defining ideal is generated…

In this paper we study primality and primary decomposition of certain ideals which are generated by homogeneous degree $2$ polynomials and occur naturally from determinantal conditions. Normality is derived from these results.

We construct a (shellable) polyhedral cell complex that supports a minimal free resolution of a Borel fixed ideal, which is minimally generated (in the Borel sense) by just one monomial in S=k[x_1,x_2,...,x_n]; this includes the case of…

We establish characteristic-free criteria for the componentwise linearity of graded ideals. As applications, we classify the componentwise linear ideals among the Gorenstein ideals, the standard determinantal ideals, and the ideals…

We show that the ideal generated by maximal minors (i.e., $(k+1)$-minors) of a $(k+1) \times n$ Vandermonde matrix is radical and Cohen-Macaulay. Note that this ideal is generated by all Specht polynomials with shape $(n-k,1,...,1)$.

The stratum St(J,<) (the homogeneous stratum Sth(J,<) respectively) of a monomial ideal J in a polynomial ring R is the family of all (homogeneous) ideals of R whose initial ideal with respect to the term order < is J. St(J,<) and Sth(J,<)…
