Let G be a simple graph on d vertices. We define a monomial ideal K in the Stanley-Reisner ring A of the order complex of the Boolean algebra on d atoms. The monomials in K are in one-to-one correspondence with the proper colorings of G. In particular, the Hilbert polynomial of K equals the chromatic polynomial of G. The ideal K is generated by square-free monomials, so A/K is the Stanley-Reisn...

Abstract Let Δ be a one‐dimensional simplicial complex. the Stanley–Reisner ideal of Δ. We prove that for all and intermediate ideals J generated by some minimal generators , we have

A squarefree monomial ideal is called an $f$-ideal if its Stanley–Reisner and facet simplicial complexes have the same $f$-vector. We show that $f$-ideals generated in a fixed degree asymptotic density zero when number of variables goes to infinity. also provide novel algorithms construct small degrees.

Abstract A triangulation of a polygon has an associated Stanley–Reisner ideal. We obtain full algebraic and combinatorial understanding these ideals describe their separated models. More generally, we do this for stacked simplicial complexes, in particular polytopes.

Alexander duality has, in the past, made its way into commutative algebra through Stanley-Reisner rings of simplicial complexes. This has the disadvantage that one is limited to squarefree monomial ideals. The notion of Alexander duality is generalized here to arbitrary monomial ideals. It is shown how this duality is naturally expressed by Bass numbers, in their relations to the Betti numbers ...

A certain squarefree monomial ideal HP arising from a finite partially ordered set P will be studied from viewpoints of both commutative algbera and combinatorics. First, it is proved that the defining ideal of the Rees algebra of HP possesses a quadratic Gröbner basis. Thus in particular all powers of HP have linear resolutions. Second, the minimal free graded resolution of HP will be construc...

We give an elementary description of the maps in the linear strand of the minimal free resolution of a square-free monomial ideal, that is, the Stanley-Reisner ideal associated to a simplicial complex. The description is in terms of the homology of the canonical Alexander dual complex. As applications we are able to prove for monomial ideals and j = 1 a conjecture of J. Herzog giving lower boun...

We continue the study [2] on sheaves of rings on finite posets. We present examples where the ring of global sections coincide with toric faces rings, quotients of a polynomial ring by a monomial ideal and algebras with straightening laws. We prove a rank-selection theorem which generalizes the well-known rank-selection theorem of Stanley–Reisner rings. Finally, we determine an explicit present...
