Let L be the generalized mixed product ideal induced by a monomial ideal I. In this paper we compute powers of the genearlized mixed product ideals and show that Lk  have a linear resolution if and only if Ik have a linear resolution for all k. We also introduce the generalized mixed polymatroidal ideals and prove that powers and monomial localizations of a generalized mixed polymatroidal ideal...

We develop tools to study the problem of containment of symbolic powers I(m) in powers I for a homogeneous ideal I in a polynomial ring k[P ] in N + 1 variables over an arbitrary algebraically closed field k. We obtain results on the structure of the set of pairs (r, m) such that I(m) ⊆ I. As corollaries, we show that I2 contains I(3) whenever S is a finite generic set of points in P2 (thereby ...

Symbolic powers of ideals are studied in the combinatorial context of monomial ideals. When the ideals are generated by quadratic squarefree monomials, the generators of the symbolic powers are obstructions to vertex covering in the associated graph and its blow-ups. As a result, perfect graphs play an important role in the theory, dual to the role played by perfect graphs in the theory of seca...

We characterize monomial ideals which are intersections of powers of monomial prime ideals and study classes of ideals with this property, among them polymatroidal ideals.
