The behavior of Stanley depth under polarization

Abstract: Let

K

be a field,

R = K [X_{1}, ..., X_{n}]

be the polynomial ring and

J s u b s e t n e q I

two monomial ideals in

R

. In this paper we show that

m a t h r m s d e p t h I / J - m a t h r m d e p t h I / J = m a t h r m s d e p t h I^{p} / J^{p} - m a t h r m d e p t h I^{p} / J^{p}

, where

m a t h r m s d e p t h I / J

denotes the Stanley depth and

I^{p}

denotes the polarization. This solves a conjecture by Herzog and reduces the famous Stanley conjecture (for modules of the form

I / J

) to the squarefree case. As a consequence, the Stanley conjecture for algebras of the form

R / I

and the well-known combinatorial conjecture that every Cohen-Macaulay simplicial complex is partitionable are equivalent.
