Stability of Depth and Cohen-Macaulayness of Integral Closures of Powers of Monomial Ideals
Le Tuan Hoa , Tran Nam Trung
Let $I$ be a monomial ideal in a polynomial ring $R = k[x_{1},\dots ,x_{r}]$. In this paper, we give an upper bound on $\overline {\text {dstab}} (I)$ in terms of $r$ and the maximal generating degree $d(I)$ of $I$ such that $\text {depth} R/\overline {I^{n}}$ is constant for all $n\geqslant \overline {\text {dstab}}(I)$. As an application, we classify the class of monomial ideals $I$ such that $\overline {I^{n}}$ is Cohen-Macaulay for some integer $n\gg 0$.
