Let \(K\) be an infinite field, \(S= K[x_1,\dots, x_n]\) the polynomial ring over \(K\), \(I\) a monomial ideal of \(S\), \(R= S/I\). First, it is shown that if \(I\) is of Borel type then \(R\) is sequentially CM (= Cohen-Macaulay). Using this fact (more precisely the filtration attached to the sequentially CM ring \(R\)) the modules \(\text{Ext}^i_R(R,S)\) are computed and in particular the \(a_i\)-invariants of the ring \(R\) are determined. Then these methods are used to compute the \(a_i\)-invariants of principal \(p\)-Borel ideals, refining the formula for the regularity of such ideals, conjectured by Pardue and previously proved by \textit{A. Aramova} and \textit{J. Herzog} [Ill. J. Math. 41, No. 1, 103--121 (1997; Zbl 0871.13007)] and by \textit{J. Herzog} and \textit{D. Popescu} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 129, No. 9, 2563--2570 (2001; Zbl 0979.13027)] giving a more elegant proof. This method also provides a minimal set of generators of \(\text{Ext}^i_R(R,S)\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 1020.00012].
