An increasing normalized depth function

From MaRDI portal





Let \(F\) be a field and \(S = F[x_{1},\dots, x_{n}]\) be the polynomial ring in \(n\) variables over \(F\). Assume that \(I\) is a\Nsquarefree monomial ideal of S. For every integer \(k \geq 1\), we denote the \(k\)-th squarefree power of \(I\) by \(I^{[k]}\).\NThe normalized depth function of \(I\) is defined as \(g_{I}(k) = \mathrm{depth}(S/I^{[k]} ) -(d_{k}-(1)\), where \(d_{k}\) denotes the\Nminimum degree of monomials belonging to \(I[k]\). Erey, Herzog, Hibi and Saeedi Madani conjectured that\Nfor any squarefree monomial ideal \(I\), the function \(g_{I}(k)\) is nonincreasing. In this short note, the author provide a\Ncounterexample for this conjecture. The author example in fact shows that \(g_{I}(2)-g_{I}(1)\) can be arbitrarily large.
