Minimale Erzeugendensysteme und minimale Primteiler von monomialen Radikalidealen. (Minimal systems of generators and minimal prime divisors of monomial radical ideals) (Q1108335)

Let I be a radical ideal generated by monomials in the polynomial ring in n variables over a field. Let \(\mu=\) minimal number of generators of I, \(p=\) number of minimal prime ideals of I, \(h=\) height of I, and \(g=\) minimum of the degrees of monomials in I. The following relations are proved: (a) If \(h\geq (n+1)/2\) then \(\mu \leq \binom n{h-1}\); (b) if \(g\geq (n+1)/2\) then \(p \leq \binom n{g-1}\).
