In attempting to understand how combinatorial modifications alter algebraic properties of monomial ideals, several authors have investigated the process of adding "whiskers" to graphs. In this paper, we study a similar construction to build…

Let $I$ be a matroidal ideal of degrre $d$ of a polynomial ring $R=K[x_1,...,x_n]$, where $K$ is a field. Let astab$(I)$ and dstab$(I)$ be the smallest integer $n$ for which Ass$(I^n)$ and depth$(I^n)$ stabilize, respectively. In this…

In analogy to the skeletons of a simplicial complex and their Stanley--Reisner ideals we introduce the skeletons of an arbitrary monomial ideal $I\subset S=K[x_1,...,x_n]$. This allows us to compute the depth of $S/I$ in terms of its…

Let $I$ be an intersection of three monomial prime ideals of a polynomial algebra $S$ over a field. We give a special Stanley decomposition of $I$ which provides a lower bound of the Stanley depth of $I$, greater than or equal to $\depth\…

The geometric vertex decomposability property for polynomial ideals is an ideal-theoretic generalization of the vertex decomposability property for simplicial complexes. Indeed, a homogeneous geometrically vertex decomposable ideal is…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph. If $G$ is a K\"onig graph or $G$ is a graph without 3-cycles and 5-cycle, we prove that the following conditions are equivalent: $\Delta_{G}$ is pure shellable, $R/I_{\Delta}$ is Cohen-Macaulay, $G$ is unmixed…

Let M be a matrix whose entries are power series in several variables and determinant det(M) does not vanish identically. The equation det(M)=0 defines a hypersurface singularity and the (co)-kernel of M is a maximally Cohen-Macaulay module…

If a pure simplicial complex is partitionable, then its $h$-vector has a combinatorial interpretation in terms of any partitioning of the complex. Given a non-partitionable complex $\Delta$, we construct a complex $\Gamma \supseteq \Delta$…

Let $K$ be an algebrically closed field and let $n\geq 1$. If $P\in K[X]=K[X_1,\ldots,X_n]$, $P\neq 0$, we denote by $I(P)$ the support of $P$, which is the finite subset of $\mathbb N^n$ such that $P=\sum_{i\in I(P)}a_iX^i$ with $a_i\in…

Let $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be the ring of polynomials in $n$ variables over an arbitrary field $K$. Given a finitely generated multigraded module $M$, its Stanley length, denoted by $\operatorname{slength}(M)$, is the minimal length of a…

We say that a pure simplicial complex ${\mathbf K}$ of dimension $d$ satisfies the removal-collapsibility condition if ${\mathbf K}$ is either empty or ${\mathbf K}$ becomes collapsible after removing $\tilde \beta_d ({\mathbf K}; {\mathbb…

Fix a field $k$. When $\Delta$ is a simplicial complex on $n$ vertices with Stanley-Reisner ideal $I_\Delta$, we define and study an invariant called the $\textit{type defect}$ of $\Delta$. Except when $\Delta$ is of a single simplex, the…

In the present paper, motivated by a conjecture of Jahan and Zheng, we prove that componentwise polymatroidal ideals have linear quotients. This solves positively a conjecture of Bandari and Herzog.

Monomial ideals which are generic with respect to either their generators or irreducible components have minimal free resolutions derived from simplicial complexes. For a generic monomial ideal, the associated primes satisfy a saturated…

Let $J\varsubsetneq I$ be two monomial ideals of the polynomial ring $S=\mathbb{K}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$. In this paper, we provide two lower bounds for the Stanley depth of $I/J$. On the one hand, we introduce the notion of lcm number of $I/J$,…

All Cohen--Macaulay polymatroidal ideals are classified. The Cohen--Macaulay polymatroidal ideals are precisely the principal ideals, the Veronese ideals, and the squarefree Veronese ideals.

Given a tree T on n vertices, there is an associated ideal I of a polynomial ring in n variables over a field, generated by all paths of a fixed length of T. We show that such an ideal always satisfies the Konig property and classify all…

We describe the simplicial complex $\Delta$ such that the initial ideal of $J_G$ is the Stanley-Reisner ideal of $\Delta$. By $\Delta$ we show that if $J_G$ is $(S_2)$ then $G$ is accessible. We also characterize all accessible blocks with…

In this paper, we introduce a new generalization of weakly prime ideals called $I$-prime. Suppose $R$ is a commutative ring with identity and $I$ a fixed ideal of $R$. A proper ideal $P$ of $R$ is $I$-prime if for $a, b \in R$ with $ab \in…
