Lexsegment ideals are sequentially Cohen-Macaulay

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The associated primes of an arbitrary lexsegment ideal IsubsetS=K[x1,...,xn] are determined. As application it is shown that S/I is a pretty clean module, therefore, S/I is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay and satisfies Stanley's conjecture.


Let \(S=k[x_1,\dots,x_n]\) be the polynomial ring in \(n\) variables over a field \(k\), \(u,v\in S\) be two monomials of degree \(d\geq2\) and \(I=(L(u,v))\) the lexsegment ideal determined by \(u\) and \(v\). The author gives a complete description of the associated primes of lexsegment ideals. His description is given in terms of the support of the monomials \(u\) and \(v\). Moreover, he proves that \(S/I\) is a pretty clean \(S\)-module, therefore \(S/I\) is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay.
