The v-numbers of Stanley-Reisner ideals from the viewpoint of Alexander dual complexes
We express the v-number of the Stanley-Reisner ideal in terms of its Alexander dual complex and prove that the v-number of a cover ideal is just two less than the initial degree of the its syzygy module. We give some relation between the v-number of the Stanley-Reisner ideal and the Serre-depth of the quotient ring of the second symbolic power of the Stanley-Reisner ideal of its Alexander dual. We also show that the v-number of the Stanley-Reisner ideal of a 2-pure simplicial complex is equal to the dimension of its Stanley-Reisner ring.
