The algebraic packing problem for squarefree monomial ideals
The algebraic packing problem for squarefree monomial ideals
Let be a polynomial ring and let be a squarefree monomial ideal. A minor of is obtained by setting variables successively equal to or in its minimal monomial generators and taking the ideal generated by the resulting monomials. The ideal has the packing property when every minor satisfies the König property, equivalently when its height equals its monomial grade. Let denote the th symbolic power.
Algebraic packing conjecture. One has
if and only if has the packing property.
This is presented as the commutative-algebra translation of the packing problem; the supplied text does not give a resolution.
