The Stanley Conjecture on Intersections of Four Monomial Prime Ideals

We show that the Stanley's Conjecture holds for an intersection of four monomial prime ideals of a polynomial algebra S over a field and for an arbitrary intersection of monomial prime ideals (P _i ) _i∈[s] of S such that each P _i is not contained in the sum of the other (P _j ) _j≠i .     

Stanley Depth of Quotient of Monomial Complete Intersection Ideals

We compute the Stanley depth for a particular but important case of the quotient of complete intersection monomial ideals. Also, in the general case, we give sharp bounds for the Stanley depth of a quotient of complete intersection monomial ideals. In particular, we prove the Stanley conjecture for quotients of complete intersection monomial ideals.     

Integral Closures of Cohen-Macaulay Monomial Ideals

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to present a family of Cohen-Macaulay monomial ideals such that their integral closures have embedded components and hence are not Cohen-Macaulay.     

The Analytic Spread of Monomial Ideals

Abstract

We compute the analytic spread of a monomial ideal I of the ring ?[[x ₁,…,x _n ]] in terms of the Newton polyhedron of I.     

Powers of Elements and Monomial Ideals #

All monomial ideals I ? k[X ₀,…, X _d ] are classified which satisfy the following condition: If f ∈ I with f ⁿ  ∈ I ⁿ⁺¹ for some n, then f ∈ (X ₀,…, X _d ) I.     

Regular CW-Complexes and Poset Resolutions of Monomial Ideals

Abstract

We study the generation of a finite group by its conjugacy classes, while generalizing basic concepts from linear algebra: basis and dimension. Besides the well known Burnside Basis Theorem for finite p-groups, there is no direct extension of these concepts to other families of finite groups. We show that by considering generating sets consisting of conjugacy classes, there is a possibility for such a generalization.     

Monomial Ideals of Forest Type

As a generalization of the facet ideal of a forest, we define monomial ideal of forest type and show that monomial ideals of forest type are pretty clean. As a consequence, we show that if I is a monomial ideal of forest type in the polynomial ring S, then Stanley's decomposition conjecture holds for S/I. The other main result of this article shows that a clutter is totally balanced if and only if it has the free vertex property, and which is also equivalent to say that its edge ideal is a monomial ideal of forest type or is generated by an M sequence.     

Depth and Stanley Depth of Multigraded Modules

We study the behavior of depth and Stanley depth along short exact sequences of multigraded modules and under reduction modulo an element.     

The Stanley Depth in the Upper Half of the Koszul Complex

Let R = K[X₁, ?c, X_n] be a polynomial ring over some field K. In this article, we prove that the kth syzygy module of the residue class field K of R has Stanley depth n ? 1 for ?n/2? ≤k < n, as it had been conjectured by Bruns et al. in 2010. In particular, this gives the Stanley depth for a whole family of modules whose graded components have dimension greater than 1. So far, the Stanley depth is known only for a few examples of this type. Our proof consists in a close analysis of a matching in the Boolean algebra.     

Interval partitions and Stanley depth

In this paper, we answer a question posed by Herzog, Vladoiu, and Zheng. Their motivation involves a 1982 conjecture of Richard Stanley concerning what is now called the Stanley depth of a module. The question of Herzog et al., concerns partitions of the non-empty subsets of {1,2,…,n} into intervals. Specifically, given a positive integer n, they asked whether there exists a partition P(n) of the non-empty subsets of {1,2,…,n} into intervals, so that |B|?n/2 for each interval [A,B] in P(n). We answer this question in the affirmative by first embedding it in a stronger result. We then provide two alternative proofs of this second result. The two proofs use entirely different methods and yield non-isomorphic partitions. As a consequence, we establish that the Stanley depth of the ideal (x₁,…,xn)⊆K[x₁,…,xn] (K a field) is ⌈n/2⌉.     

Asymptotic Growth of Associated Primes of Certain Graph Ideals

We specify a class of graphs, H _t , and characterize the irreducible decompositions of all powers of the cover ideals. This gives insight into the structure and stabilization of the corresponding associated primes; specifically, providing an answer to the question “For each integer t ≥ 0, does there exist a (hyper) graph H _t such that stabilization of associated primes occurs at n ≥ (χ(H _t ) ?1) + t?” [4 Francisco , C. A. , Hà , H. T. , Van Tuyl , A. ( 2011 ). Colorings of hypergraphs, perfect graphs, and associated primes of powers of monomial ideals . J. Algebra 331 : 224 – 242 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. For each t, H _t has chromatic number 3 and associated primes that stabilize at n = 2 + t.     

Depth and Stanley depth of the edge ideals of square paths and square cycles

In this paper, we compute depth and Stanley depth for the quotient ring of the edge ideal associated to a square path on n vertices. We also compute depth and Stanley depth for the quotient ring of the edge ideal associated to a square cycle on n vertices, when n≡0,3,4( mod 5), and give tight bounds when n≡1,2( mod 5). We also prove a conjecture of Herzog presented in [5 Herzog, J. (2013). A survey on Stanley depth. In: Bigatti, M. A., Gimenez, P., Sáenz-de-Cabezón, E., eds. Monomial Ideals, Computations and Applications. Lecture Notes in Mathematics, Vol. 2083. Heidelberg: Springer, pp. 3–45. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1702.00781.pdf.[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]], for the edge ideals of square paths and square cycles.     

The Behaviors of Expansion Functor on Monomial Ideals and Toric Rings

In this article, we study some algebraic and combinatorial behaviors of expansion functor. We show that on monomial ideals some properties like polymatroidalness, weakly polymatroidalness, and having linear quotients are preserved under taking the expansion functor.

The main part of the article is devoted to study of toric ideals associated to the expansion of subsets of monomials which are minimal with respect to divisibility. It is shown that, for a given discrete polymatroid P, if toric ideal of P is generated by double swaps, then toric ideal of any expansion of P has such a property. This result, in a special case, says that White's conjecture is preserved under taking the expansion functor. Finally, the construction of Gröbner bases and some homological properties of toric ideals associated to expansions of subsets of monomials is investigated.     

On the Factorial Closure of Certain Monomial Modules

Abstract

Let R = K[y ₁,…,y _t ] be an affine domain over a field K and I be a nonzero proper ideal of R. In Sec. 1 of this note, we characterize when (K + I, R) is a Mori pair. In Sec. 2 of this note, we prove the following theorem: Let A ? B be domains such that C/Q is Mori for each subring C of B containing A and for any prime ideal Q of C. Then dim A ? 1 ≤ dim B ≤ dim A + 1 and if dim A > 1 or dim B > 1 then dim A = dim B.     

Modular Species and Prime Ideals for the Ring of Monomial Representations of a Finite Group#

The ring of monomial representations of a finite group has been investigated by Dress (1971 Dress , A. W. M. ( 1971 ). The ring of monomial representations I: structure theory . J. Algebra 18 : 137 – 157 . [CSA] [CROSSREF]  [Google Scholar]) and Boltje (1990 Boltje , R. ( 1990 ). A canonical Brauer induction formula . Astérisque 181–182 : 31 – 59 . [Google Scholar]), among others. It is of interest in connection with induction theorems in representation theory. Its species have recently been determined by Boltje. In this article, we will analyze the block distribution of species. As an application, we will determine the prime ideals of the ring of monomial representations. The results here constitute a slightly modified version of part of the first author's Diplomarbeit (Fotsing, 2003 Fotsing , B. ( 2003 ). Zum Ring der monomialen Darstellungen einer endlichen Gruppe .
