Stanley conjecture in small embedding dimension (Q2470384)

Let \(K\) be a field, \(S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]\) be the polynomial ring in \(n\) variables, and \(I \subset S\) a monomial ideal. \textit{R. P. Stanley} conjectured [Invent. Math. 68, 175--193 (1982; Zbl 0516.10009)] that there always exists a presentation of \(S/I\) as a direct sum of \(K\)-vector spaces of the form \(uK[Z]\) such that \(| Z| \geq \text{ depth}(S/I)\), where \(u \in S\) a monomial and \(Z \subset \{x_1,\ldots,x_n\}\). If this happens for a certain \(I\), then \(I\) is called a Stanley ideal. This conjecture was proved for \(n \leq 3\) [\textit{A. S. Jahan}, J. Algebra 312, No. 2, 1011--1032 (2007; Zbl 1142.13022); \textit{J. Apel}, J. Algebr. Comb. 17, No. 1, 39--56 (2003; Zbl 1031.13003)]. If \(n=4\), then the authors show that all monomial ideals of \(S\) are Stanley. Recently the second author proved that Stanley's conjecture holds in \(5\) variables.
