Distributive Lattices, Bipartite Graphs and Alexander Duality

A certain squarefree monomial ideal $H_P$ arising from a finite partially ordered set $P$ will be studied from viewpoints of both commutative algebra and combinatorics. First, it is proved that the defining ideal of the Rees algebra of $H_P$ possesses a quadratic Gröbner basis. Thus in particular all powers of $H_P$ have linear resolutions. Second, the minimal free graded resolution of $H_P$ will be constructed explicitly and a combinatorial formula to compute the Betti numbers of $H_P$ will be presented. Third, by using the fact that the Alexander dual of the simplicial complex $Δ$ whose Stanley--Reisner ideal coincides with $H_P$ is Cohen--Macaulay, all the Cohen--Macaulay bipartite graphs will be classified.

Discrete Polymatroids

The discrete polymatroid is a multiset analogue of the matroid. Based on the polyhedral theory on integral polymatroids developed in late 1960's and in early 1970's, in the present paper the combinatorics and algebra on discrete polymatroids will be studied.

Monomial ideals whose powers have a linear resolution

In this paper we consider graded ideals in a polynomial ring over a field and ask when such an ideal has the property that all of its powers have a linear resolution. In particular it is shown that all powers of a monomial ideal with 2-linear resolution have again a linear resolution.

Rigid resolutions and big Betti numbers

In the first part of the paper we answer (positively) a question raised by the first author which has to do with some sort of rigity of the tail of resolution of an ideal. Let $I$ be a homogeneous ideal in a polynomial ring over a field of characteristic 0. Denote by $β_i(I)$ the $i$-th Betti number of $I$ and by $Gin(I)$ the revlex generic initial ideal of $I$. In general one has $β_i(I)\leq β_i(Gin(I))$ and we show that if $β_i(I)=β_i(Gin(I))$ for some $i$ then $β_j(I)=β_j(Gin(I))$ for all $j>i$. In the second part of the paper we answer a question of Eisenbud and Huneke. We prove that if $I$ is $m$-primary and $I\subset m^d$ then $β_i(m^d)\leq β_i(Gin(I))$ for all $i$.

Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of products of ideals

We discuss the behavior of the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity under certain operations on ideals and modules, like products or powers. In particular, we show that reg(IM) can be larger than reg(M)+reg(I) even when I is an ideal of linear forms and M is a module with a linear resolution. On the other hand, we show that any product of ideals of linear forms has a linear resolution. We also discuss the case of polymatroidal ideals and show that any product of determinantal ideals of a generic Hankel matrix has a linear resolution.

Groebner bases and regularity of Rees algebras

In this paper we study homological properties of the Rees ring R of the graded maximal ideal of a standard graded k-algebra A. In particular we are interested the comparison of the depth and regularity of A and R.

Sequentially Cohen-Macaulay modules and local cohomology

The main result of the paper states that for a graded ideal I in a polynomial ring R over a field of characteristic 0, the Hilbert functions of the local cohomology modules of R/I and of R/Gin(I) coincide if and only if R/I is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay.
