We show that a monomial ideal $I$ has projective dimension $\leq$ 1 if and only if the minimal free resolution of $S/I$ is supported on a graph that is a tree. This is done by constructing specific graphs which support the resolution of the…

Stillman posed a question as to whether the projective dimension of a homogeneous ideal I in a polynomial ring over a field can be bounded by some formula depending only on the number and degrees of the minimal generators of I. More…

We determine, in a polynomial ring over a field, the arithmetical rank of certain ideals generated by a set of monomials and one binomial.

The support poset of a monomial ideal $I\subseteq\mathbf{k}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ encodes the relation between the variables $x_1,\dots,x_n$ and the minimal monomial generators of $I$. It is known that not every poset is realizable as the support…

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…

Symmetric ideals in increasingly larger polynomial rings that form an ascending chain are investigated. We focus on the asymptotic behavior of codimensions and projective dimensions of ideals in such a chain. If the ideals are graded it is…

Powers of (monomial) ideals is a subject that still calls attraction in various ways. Let $I\subset \mathbb K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be a monomial ideal and let $G(I)$ denote the (unique) minimal monomial generating set of $I$. How small can…

We consider the fiber cone of monomial ideals. It is shown that for monomial ideals $I\subset K[x,y]$ of height $2$, generated by $3$ elements, the fiber cone $F(I)$ of $I$ is a hypersurface ring, and that $F(I)$ has positive depth for…

Let $R=K[x_1,...,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ and $I$ be a monomial ideal generated in degree $d$. Bandari and Herzog conjectured that a monomial ideal $I$ is polymatroidal if and only if all its monomial…

It is known that for a monomial ideal $I$, the number of minimal generators, $\mu(I^n)$, eventually follows a polynomial pattern for increasing $n$. In general, little is known about the power at which this pattern emerges. Even less is…

Given a square-free monomial ideal $I$, satisfying certain hypotheses, in a polynomial ring $R$ over a field $\mathbb{K}$, we compute the projective dimension of $I$. Specifically, we focus on the cases where the 1-skeleton of an associated…

In 2016, Ananyan and Hochster gave the first proof of a positive answer to Stillman's Question, which asked for a bound on the projective dimension of a graded polynomial ideal purely in terms of the number and degrees of its generators.…

Suppose $I$ is an ideal of a polynomial ring over a field, $I\subseteq k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, and whenever $fg\in I$ with degree $\leq b$, then either $f\in I$ or $g\in I$. When $b$ is sufficiently large, it follows that $I$ is prime.…

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…

Motivated by Stillman's question, we show that the projective dimension of an ideal generated by four quadric forms in a polynomial ring is at most 6; moreover, this bound is tight. We achieve this bound, in part, by giving a…

Let $R$ be a polynomial ring in $N$ variables over an arbitrary field $K$ and let $I$ be an ideal of $R$ generated by $n$ polynomials of degree at most 2. We show that there is a bound on the projective dimension of $R/I$ that depends only…

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…

We introduce the concept of monomial ideals with stable projective dimension, as a generalization of the Cohen-Macaulay property. Indeed, we study the class of monomial ideals $I$, whose projective dimension is stable under monomial…

Let $J\subsetneq I$ be two ideals of a polynomial ring $S$ over a field, generated by square free monomials. We show that some inequalities among the numbers of square free monomials of $I\setminus J$ of different degrees give upper bounds…

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…
