Abstract: An ideal I in a Noetherian ring R is normally torsion-free if Ass(R/I^t)=Ass(R/I) for all natural numbers t. We develop a technique to inductively study normally torsion-free square-free monomial ideals. In particular, we show that if a square-free monomial ideal I is minimally not normally torsion-free then the least power t such that I^t has embedded primes is bigger than beta_1, where beta_1 is the monomial grade of I, which is equal to the matching number of the hypergraph H(I) associated to I. If in addition I fails to have the packing property, then embedded primes of I^t do occur when t=beta_1 +1. As an application, we investigate how these results relate to a conjecture of Conforti and Cornu'ejols.

Review text

An ideal \(I\) in a noetherian ring \(R\) is normally torsion-free if \(\mathrm{Ass}(R/I^t)=\mathrm{Ass}(R/I)\) for all \(t\geq1\). The authors developed a technique to inductively study normally torsion-free square-free monomial ideals. In particular, they showed that if a square-free monomial ideal \(I\) is minimally not normally torsion-free then the least power \(t\) such that \(I^t\) has embedded primes is bigger than \(\beta_1\), where \(\beta_1\) is the monomial grade of \(I\), which is equal to the matching number of the hypergraph \({H}(I)\) associated to \(I\). If, in addition, \(I\) fails to have the packing property, then embedded primes of \(I^t\) do occur when \(t= \beta_1+1\). As an application, they investigated how these results relate to a conjecture of Conforti and Cornuejols. The main result of this article is: Let \(I\subseteq R = K[x_1,\cdots, x_d]\) be a square-free monomial ideal such that every minorof \(I\) is normally torsion-free. Suppose that \(I\) does not have the packing property. Then \(m \in \mathrm{Ass}(R/I^{\beta_1(I)+1})\) and \(\beta_1(I)\) is the least power \(t\) such that \(m\in \mathrm{Ass}(R/I^t)\).
