Graph and depth of a monomial squarefree ideal

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let I be a monomial squarefree ideal of a polynomial ring S over a field K such that the sum of every three different of its minimal prime ideals is the maximal ideal of S, or more general a constant ideal. We associate to I a graph on [s], s=|MinS/I| on which we may {em read} the depth of I. In particular, depthSI does not depend of char K. Also we show that I satisfies the Stanley's Conjecture.


This paper is focused on Stanley conjecture [\textit{R. P. Stanley}, Invent. Math. 68, 175--193 (1982; Zbl 0516.10009)] and is written by one of the top experts on the subject. In previous work, the author showed that Stanley's conjecture holds for arbitrary monomial ideals in less than 6 variables and for intersections of 4 monomial prime ideals, cf. [Bull. Math. Soc. Sci. Math. Roum., Nouv. Sér. 52(100), No. 3, 377--382 (2009; Zbl 1177.13055); ibid. 53(101), No. 4, 363--372 (2010; Zbl 1240.13013); Commun. Algebra 41, No. 11, 4351--4362 (2013; Zbl 1327.13044)]. It is also known that Stanley's conjecture holds for an ideal \(I\) if \(\mathrm{bigsize}(I)=\mathrm{size}(I)\) [\textit{J. Herzog, D. Popescu} and \textit{M. Vladoiu}, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 140, No. 2, 493--504 (2012; Zbl 1234.13013)].NEWLINENEWLINEThe present paper studies the case \(\mathrm{bigsize}(I)=2\), \(\mathrm{size}(I)=1\). This case is studied by using a graph associated to \(I\) from which one can read the Stanley depth of \(I\). Using this technique the author proves in Theorem 2.10 and Theorem 3.5 that for a monomial squarefree ideal \(I\) such that the sum of every three different of its minimal prime ideals is a constant ideal, the Stanley depth of \(I\) does not depend on the caracteristic of the base field and that Stanley's conjecture holds.
