On the depth and regularity of the symmetric algebra (Q2488593)

The authors give bounds for the depth and the regularity of the symmetric algebra Sym(\(m\)), wobei \(m\) is the maximal ideal of a standard graded \(K\)-algebra \((R,m)\). Using Gröbner bases, they reduce to the case of standard graded \(K\)-algebras with monomial relations. For such algebras they use the theory of \(s\)-sequences and of stable ideals. It is very interesting how they compute initial ideals (w.r. to a given monomial order) in a polynomial ring with base ring that is not a field (as it is in the classical Gröbner bases theory).
