Gotzmann monomial ideals (Q938622): Difference between revisions

Let \(R=k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]\) be a polynomial ring over a field \(k\). Let \(I\) be a homogeneous ideal and \(I^{lex}\) the lex-segment ideal with the same Hilbert function as \(I\). The ideal \(I\) is Gotzmann if it has the same number of minimal generators as \(I^{lex}\). Let \(M^d\) be the set of all monomials of degree \(d\) in \(R\). A subset \(V\subseteq M^d\) is a Gotzmann subset if the ideal generated by \(V\) is Gotzmann. Every lex-segment is a Gotzmann subset. In this paper the author characterizes the integers \(a\) with the property that every Gotzmann subset \(V\) of cardinality \(a\) is a lex-segment. Moreover the author classifies all Gotzmann subsets of \(k[x_1,x_2,x_3]\).
