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…

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…

We study the defining equations of the Rees algebra of square-free monomial ideals in a polynomial ring over a field. We determine that when an ideal $I$ is generated by $n$ square-free monomials of the same degree then $I$ has relation…

Two minimal generating sets of the first syzygies of a monomial ideal are produced, given the minimal generating set of the ideal.

An explicit construction is given of a minimal free resolution of the ideal generated by all squarefree monomials of a given degree. The construction relies upon and exhibits the natural action of the symmetric group on the syzygy modules.…

For which monomial supports do most polynomials generate a prime ideal? We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the radical of the ideal to be prime over an algebraically closed field. In characteristic zero, the same conditions…

We give a new combinatorial characterization of the big height of a squarefree monomial ideal leading to a new bound for the projective dimension of a monomial ideal.

Given a number $q$, we construct a monomial ideal $I$ with the property that the function which describes the number of generators of $I^k$ has at least $q$ local maxima.

We present some examples of squarefree monomial ideals whose arithmetical rank can be computed using linear algebraic considerations.

We prove every regular element of a free profinite monoid generates a prime ideal; in particular the minimal ideal is prime. The latter result was first proved by Almeida and Volkov using techniques from symbolic dynamics; our proof is…

We study monomial ideals with linear presentation or partially linear resolution. We give combinatorial characterizations of linear presentation for square-free ideals of degree 3, and for primary ideals whose resolutions are linear except…

Algebraic and combinatorial properties of a monomial ideal and its radical are compared.

We give conditions for determining the extremal behavior for the (graded) Betti numbers of squarefree monomial ideals. For the case of non-unique minima, we give several conditions which we use to produce infinite families, exponentially…

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…

Let $I$ be a square-free monomial ideal in a polynomial ring $R=K[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$ over a field $K$, $\mathfrak{m}=(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ be the graded maximal ideal of $R$, and $\{u_1, \ldots, u_{\beta_1(I)}\}$ be a maximal independent set…

We study the number of generators of ideals in regular rings and ask the question whether $\mu(I)<\mu(I^2)$ if $I$ is not a principal ideal, where $\mu(J)$ denotes the number of generators of an ideal $J$. We provide lower bounds for the…

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 discuss various square-free factorizations in monoids in the context of: atomicity, ascending chain condition for principal ideals, decomposition, and a greatest common divisor property. Moreover, we obtain a full characterization of…

This paper studies the numbers of minimal generators of powers of monomial ideals in polynomial rings. For a monomial ideal $I$ in two variables, Eliahou, Herzog, and Saem gave a sharp lower bound $\mu (I^2)\ge 9$ for the number of minimal…

For polynomial ideals in positive charachteristic, defining $F$-split rings and admitting a squarefree monomial initial ideal are different notions. In this note we show that, however, there are strong interactions in both directions.…
