We prove a duality theorem for certain graded algebras and show by various examples different kinds of failure of tameness of local cohomology.
The growth of Hilbert coefficients for powers of ideals are studied. For a graded ideal $I$ in the polynomial ring $S=K[x_1,...,x_n]$ and a finitely generated graded $S$-module, the Hilbert coefficients $e_i(M/I^kM)$ are polynomial functions. Given two families of graded ideals $(I_k)_{k\geq 0}$ and $(J_k)_{k\geq 0}$ with $J_k\subset I_k$ for all $k$ with the property that $J_kJ_\ell\subset J_{k+\ell}$ and $I_kI_\ell\subset I_{k+\ell}$ for all $k$ and $\ell$, and such that the algebras $A=\Dirsum_{k\geq 0}J_k$ and $B=\Dirsum_{k\geq 0}I_k$ are finitely generated, we show the function $k \mapsto_0(I_k/J_k)$ is of quasi-polynomial type, say given by the polynomials $P_0,..., P_{g-1}$. If $J_k = J^k$ for all $k$ then we show that all the $P_i$ have the same degree and the same leading coefficient. As one of the applications it is shown that $\lim_{k\to \infty}\length(Γ_\mm(S/I^k))/k^n \in \mathbb{Q}.$ We also study analogous statements in the local case.
We study Stanley decompositions and show that Stanley's conjecture on Stanley decompositions implies his conjecture on partitionable Cohen-Macaulay simplicial complexes. We also prove these conjectures for all Cohen-Macaulay monomial ideals of codimension 2 and all Gorenstein monomial ideals of codimension 3.
We give an example that shows that not all local cohomology modules are tame in the sense of Brodmann and Hellus.
We characterize componentwise linear monomial ideals with minimal Taylor resolution and consider the lower bound for the Betti numbers of componentwise linear ideals.
We introduce and study vertex cover algebras of weighted simplicial complexes. These algebras are special classes of symbolic Rees algebras. We show that symbolic Rees algebras of monomial ideals are finitely generated and that such an algebra is normal and Cohen-Macaulay if the monomial ideal is squarefree. For a simple graph, the vertex cover algebra is generated by elements of degree 2, and it is standard graded if and only if the graph is bipartite. We also give a general upper bound for the maximal degree of the generators of vertex cover algebras.
The aim of this paper is to characterize simplicial complexes which have standard graded vertex cover algebras. This property has several nice consequences for the squarefree monomial ideals defining these algebras. It turns out that such simplicial complexes are closely related to a range of hypergraphs which generalize bipartite graphs and trees. These relationships allow us to obtain very general results on standard graded vertex cover algebras which cover previous major results on Rees algebras of squarefree monomial ideals.
In this paper we study local cohomology of finitely generated bigraded modules over a standard bigraded ring with respect to the irrelevant bigraded ideals and establish a duality theorem. Several applications are considered.
Given multigraded free resolutions of two monomial ideals we construct a multigraded free resolution of the sum of the two ideals.
Stanley showed that monomial complete intersections have the strong Lefschetz property. Extending this result we show that a simple extension of an Artinian Gorenstein algebra with the strong Lefschetz property has again the strong Lefschetz property.
New cases of the multiplicity conjecture are considered.
We introduce pretty clean modules, extending the notion of clean modules by Dress, and show that pretty clean modules are sequentially Cohen-Macaulay. We also extend a theorem of Dress on shellable simplicial complexes to multicomplexes.
Algebraic and combinatorial properties of a monomial ideal and its radical are compared.
We study the limit and initial behavior of the numerical function $f(k)=\depth S/I^k$. General properties of this function together with concrete examples arising from combinatorics are discussed.
All Cohen--Macaulay polymatroidal ideals are classified. The Cohen--Macaulay polymatroidal ideals are precisely the principal ideals, the Veronese ideals, and the squarefree Veronese ideals.
We classify all Cohen-Macaulay chordal graphs. In particular. it is shown that a chordal graph is Cohen-Macaulay if and only if its unmixed.
Squarefree monomial ideals arising from finite meet-semilattices and their free resolutions are studied. For the squarefree monomial ideals corresponding to poset ideals in a distributive lattice the Alexander dual is computed.
The Alexander dual of an arbitrary meet-semilattice is described explicitly. Meet-distributive meet-semilattices whose Alexander dual is level are characterized.
