Symbolic powers and generalized-parametric decomposition of monomial ideals on regular sequences

Publication date 16 November 2018

Abstract: Let

R

be a commutative Noetherian ring and let

be a regular

R

-sequence contained in the Jacobson radical of

R

. An ideal

I

of

R

is said to be a monomial ideal with respect to

if it is generated by a set of monomials

x_{1}^{e_{1}} l d o t s x_{d}^{e_{d}}

. It is shown that, if

is a prime ideal of

R

, then each monomial ideal

I

has a canonical and unique decomposition as an irredundant finite intersection of primary ideals of the form

x_{a u (1)}^{e_{1}} R + d o t s + x_{a u (s)}^{e_{s}} R

, where

a u

is a permutation of

1, l d o t s, d

,

s i n 1, l d o t s, d

and

e_{1}, l d o t s, e_{s}

are the positive integers. This generalizes and provides a short proof of the main results of cite{HMRS, HRS}. Also, we show that for every integer

k g e q 1

,

I^{(k)} = I^{k}

, if and only if

A s s_{R} R / I^{k} s u b s e t e q A s s_{R} R / I

, whenever

I

is a squarefree monomial ideal, where

I^{(k)}

is the

k

th symbolic power of

I

. Moreover, in this circumstance it is shown that all powers of

I

are integrally closed.
