Let $I_1,dots,I_n$ be ideals generated by linear forms in a polynomial ring over an infinite field and let $J = I_1 cdots I_n$. We describe a minimal free resolution of $J$ and show that it is supported on a polymatroid obtained from the underlying representable polymatroid by means of the so-called Dilworth truncation. Formulas for the projective dimension and Betti numbers are given in terms of the polymatroid as well as a characterization of the associated primes. Along the way we show that $J$ has linear quotients. In fact, we do this for a large class of ideals $J_P$, where $P$ is a certain poset ideal associated to the underlying subspace arrangement.
Inspired by work of Cartwright and Sturmfels, in a previous paper we introduced two classes of multigraded ideals named after them. These ideals are defined in terms of properties of their multigraded generic initial ideals. The goal of this paper is showing that three families of ideals that have recently attracted the attention of researchers are Cartwright-Sturmfels ideals. More specifically, we prove that binomial edge ideals, multigraded homogenizations of linear spaces, and multiview ideals are Cartwright-Sturmfels ideals, hence recovering and extending recent results of Herzog-Hibi-Hreinsdottir-Kahle-Rauh, Ohtani, Ardila-Boocher, Aholt-Sturmfels-Thomas, and Binglin Li. We also propose a conjecture on the rigidity of local cohomology modules of Cartwright-Sturmfels ideals, that was inspired by a theorem of Brion. We provide some evidence for the conjecture by proving it in the monomial case.
We compute the Betti numbers for all the powers of initial and final lexsegment edge ideals. For the powers of the edge ideal of an anti-$d-$path, we prove that they have linear quotients and we characterize the normally torsion-free ideals. We determine a class of non-squarefree ideals, arising from some particular graphs, which are normally torsion-free.
Minimal cellular resolutions of the edge ideals of cointerval hypergraphs are constructed. This class of d-uniform hypergraphs coincides with the complements of interval graphs (for the case d=2), and strictly contains the class of `strongly stable hypergraphs corresponding to pure shifted simplicial complexes. The polyhedral complexes supporting the resolutions are described as certain spaces of directed graph homomorphisms, and are realized as subcomplexes of mixed subdivisions of the Minkowski sums of simplices. Resolutions of more general hypergraphs are obtained by considering decompositions into cointerval hypergraphs.
We determine the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of binomial edge ideals of complement reducible graphs (cographs). For cographs with $n$ vertices the maximum regularity grows as $2n/3$. We also bound the regularity by graph theoretic invariants and construct a family of counterexamples to a conjecture of Hibi and Matsuda.
To any toric ideal $I_A$, encoded by an integer matrix $A$, we associate a matroid structure called {em the bouquet graph} of $A$ and introduce another toric ideal called {em the bouquet ideal} of $A$. We show how these objects capture the essential combinatorial and algebraic information about $I_A$. Passing from the toric ideal to its bouquet ideal reveals a structure that allows us to classify several cases. For example, on the one end of the spectrum, there are ideals that we call {em stable}, for which bouquets capture the complexity of various generating sets as well as the minimal free resolution. On the other end of the spectrum lie toric ideals whose various bases (e.g., minimal generating sets, Grobner, Graver bases) coincide. Apart from allowing for classification-type results, bouquets provide a new way to construct families of examples of toric ideals with various interesting properties, such as robustness, genericity, and unimodularity. The new bouquet framework can be used to provide a characterization of toric ideals whose Graver basis, the universal Grobner basis, any reduced Grobner basis and any minimal generating set coincide.
