The normalized depth function of squarefree powers

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The depth of squarefree powers of a squarefree monomial ideal is introduced. Let I be a squarefree monomial ideal of the polynomial ring S=K[x1,ldots,xn]. The k-th squarefree power I[k] of I is the ideal of S generated by those squarefree monomials u1cdotsuk with each uiinG(I), where G(I) is the unique minimal system of monomial generators of I. Let dk denote the minimum degree of monomials belonging to G(I[k]). One has operatornamedepth(S/I[k])geqdk−1. Setting gI(k)=operatornamedepth(S/I[k])−(dk−1), one calls gI(k) the normalized depth function of I. The computational experience strongly invites us to propose the conjecture that the normalized depth function is nonincreasing. In the present paper, especially the normalized depth function of the edge ideal of a finite simple graph is deeply studied.
