Stable properties of algebraic shifting (Q1297003)

Let \(\Delta\) be a simplicial complex with \(n\) vertices and \(k[\Delta]= S/I_\Delta\) the Stanley-Reisner ring of \(\Delta\) over an infinite field \(k\), where \(S\) is the polynomial ring over \(k\) with \(n\) variables. The authors show that \(\text{depth} E/\text{Gin} (J)=\text{depth} E/J\) for an arbitrary ideal \(J\) in the exterior algebra \(E\) of the \(k\)-vector space \(V\) with basis \(e_1,\ldots,e_n\), where \(\text{Gin} (J)\) is the generic initial ideal of \(J\). This implies \(\text{cx} E/\text{Gin} (J)=\text{cx} E/J\) for the complexity. In particular \(t(k[\Delta])=t(k[\Delta^s])\), where \(t(k[\Delta])\) is the largest shift in the graded \(S\)-resolution of \(k[\Delta]\) and \(\Delta^s\) the algebraically shifted complex obtained from \(\Delta\).
