Some results on v-number of monomial ideals
摘要
We investigate the v-number of various classes of monomial ideals. First, we consider the relationship between the v-number and the regularity of the mixed product ideal I, proving that v(I) ⩽ reg(S/I). Next, we investigate an open conjecture on the v-number: if a monomial ideal I has linear powers, then for all k ⩾ 1, v(Ik) = α(I)k − 1. We prove that if a monomial ideal I with linear powers and Ik (for any k ⩾ 1) has no embedded associated primes, then v(Ik) = α(I)k − 1. Additionally, we calculate the v-number of ordinary power and square-free power of edge ideal. Finally, we propose a conjecture that the v-number of ordinary powers of line graph is equal to the v-number of square-free powers.
