Abstract

Let R=K[x1,,xn]R=K[x_1,\ldots, x_n] be the polynomial ring in nn variables over a field KK and II be monomial ideal of RR. In this paper, we show that if II is a generic monomial ideal, then R/IR/I is pretty clean if and only if R/IR/I is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay. Furthermore, we prove that this equivalence remains unchanged for some special monomial ideals. Moreover, we provide an example that disproves the conjecture raised in \cite[p. 123]{S1} regarding generic monomial ideals.
