Abstract

We extend a result of Minh and Trung (Adv. Math. 226:1285–1306, 2011) to get criteria for depth \({I = \rm {depth}\sqrt{I}}\) , where I is an unmixed monomial ideal of the polynomial ring S = K[x 1, . . . , x n ]. As an application we characterize all the pure simplicial complexes Δ which have rigid depth, that is, which satisfy the condition that for every unmixed monomial ideal \({I\subset S}\) with \({\sqrt{I}=I_\Delta}\) one has depth(I) = depth(I Δ).
