Local cohomology at monomial ideals (Q1569838): Difference between revisions

The author, in this paper, studies the local cohomology at monomial ideals in a polynomial ring over a field. If \(B\) is a reduced monomial ideal in \(R=k[X_1,X_2, \dots,X_n]\) over a field \(k\), then the local cohomology H\(^i_B(R)\) of \(R\) at \(B\) is the union of all \(\text{Ext}^i_R (R/B^{[d]}, R)\)'s where \(d\) varies over the set of all positive integers and \(B^{[d]}\) is the \(d\)-th Frobenius power of \(B\). Another major result of the author is that he gets a filtration of \(\text{Ext}^i_R (R/B,R)\) for a squarefree monomial ideal \(B\) of \(R\). The filtration is \[ 0=M_0 \subset M_1\subset \cdots\subset M_n=\text{Ext}^i_R (R/B,R) \] such that for \(1\leq p\leq n\), \[ M_p/M_{p-1} \cong \bigoplus_{|\alpha|=p} \bigl( R/P_\alpha) \bigr)^{\beta_ {p-i, \alpha}(B^\vee)} \] where for \(\alpha\in \{0,1 \}^n\), \(\alpha= (\alpha_j)_{1\leq j\leq n}\), \(|\alpha |=\sum \alpha_i\), \(P_\alpha= (X_j\mid \alpha_j=1)\) and \(\beta_{p-i, \alpha} (B^\vee)\) are the Betti numbers of the Alexander dual ideal \(B^\vee\) of \(B\).
