Given a square-free monomial ideal $I$, we define a simplicial complex labeled by the generators of $I^2$ which supports a free resolution of $I^2$. As a consequence, we obtain (sharp) upper bounds on the Betti numbers of the second power…
The Taylor resolution is almost never minimal for powers of monomial ideals, even in the square-free case. In this paper we introduce a smaller resolution for each power of any square-free monomial ideal, which depends only on the number of…
This paper is concerned with finding bounds on betti numbers and describing combinatorially and topologically (minimal) free resolutions of powers of ideals generated by a fixed number $q$ of square-free monomials. Among such ideals, we…
Extremal ideals are a class of square-free monomial ideals which dominate and determine many algebraic invariants of powers of all square-free monomial ideals. For example, the $r^{th}$ power ${\mathcal{E}_q}^r$ of the extremal ideal on $q$…
Using divisibility relations between the generators of a square-free monomial ideal $I$, we describe divisibility relations between the generators of the second power $I^2$. We then employ discrete Morse theory to produce a cellular free…
It is known that the chain complex of a simplex on $q$ vertices can be used to construct a free resolution of any ideal generated by $q$ monomials, and as a direct result, the Betti numbers always have binomial upper bounds, given by the…
Let $I$ be a square-free monomial ideal $I$ of projective dimension one. Starting with the Taylor complex on the generators of $I^r$, we use Discrete Morse theory to describe a CW complex that supports a minimal free resolution of $I^r$. To…
Let M in k[x,y] be a monomial ideal M=(m_1,m_2,...,m_r), where the m_i are a minimal generating set of M. We construct an explicit free resolution of k over S=k[x,y]/M for all monomial ideals M, and provide recursive formulas for the Betti…
Call a monomial ideal M "generic" if no variable appears with the same nonzero exponent in two distinct monomial generators. Using a convex polytope first studied by Scarf, we obtain a minimal free resolution of M. Any monomial ideal M can…
We define the uniform face ideal of a simplicial complex with respect to an ordered proper vertex colouring of the complex. This ideal is a monomial ideal which is generally not squarefree. We show that such a monomial ideal has a linear…
We explore resolutions of monomial ideals supported by simplicial trees. We argue that since simplicial trees are acyclic, the criterion of Bayer, Peeva and Sturmfels for checking if a simplicial complex supports a free resolution of a…
There are two seemingly unrelated ideals associated with a simplicial complex \Delta. One is the Stanley-Reisner ideal I_\Delta, the monomial ideal generated by minimal non-faces of \Delta, well-known in combinatorial commutative algebra.…
This paper concerns the study of a class of clutters called simplicial subclutters. Given a clutter $\mathcal{C}$ and its simplicial subclutter $\mathcal{D}$, we compare some algebraic properties and invariants of the ideals $I, J$…
Fix a poset $Q$ on $\{x_1,\ldots,x_n\}$. A $Q$-Borel monomial ideal $I \subseteq \mathbb{K}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ is a monomial ideal whose monomials are closed under the Borel-like moves induced by $Q$. A monomial ideal $I$ is a principal…
Let $R = k[x_1, \dotsc , x_n]$ denote the standard graded polynomial ring over a field $k$. We study certain classes of equigenerated monomial ideals with the property that the so-called complementary ideal has no linear relations on the…
In this paper, we study a class $\mathcal{C}$ of squarefree monomial ideals $I\subseteq R=\mathbb{K}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ over a field $\mathbb{K}$, defined by the condition that $\dim R/I$ equals the maximum degree of the minimal generators of…
We survey some recent results on the minimal graded free resolution of a square-free monomial ideal. The theme uniting these results is the point-of-view that the generators of a monomial ideal correspond to the maximal faces (the facets)…
Let $S=\mathbb{K}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ the polynomial ring over a field $\mathbb{K}$. In this paper for some families of monomial ideals $I \subset S$ we study the minimal number of generators of $I^k$. We use this results to find some other…
For $\Bbbk$ a field, let $X$ a $m \times n$ matrix of variables and $S=\Bbbk[X].$ We consider the determinantal ideal $I_2 \subseteq S$ generated by the $2$-minors of $X.$ In this paper we find a suitable monomial order over $S$ such that…
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…
