Blowup Algebras of $n$--dimensional Ferrers Diagrams
Kuei-Nuan Lin, Yi-Huang Shen
TL;DR
The paper addresses implicit equations and homological properties of blowup algebras arising from collections of ideals, with a focus on those tied to $n$-dimensional Ferrers diagrams. It extends the strong $\ell$-exchange property to the multi-Rees setting to establish a fiber-type decomposition and develops a tableau-based ordering and standardization framework to obtain $G$-quadratic presentations. The main results show that for standardizable Ferrers diagrams, the special fiber and multi-Rees algebras are Koszul, Cohen–Macaulay, and normal, with rational singularities in characteristic zero and $F$-rationality in positive characteristic; a critical role is played by a Gröbner-basis description combining $\mathbf{I}(\widetilde{\mathcal{D}}_r)$ with additional binomial relations. The work highlights the necessity of the standardizable condition and demonstrates boundary cases where the method does not directly extend to non-identical diagrams, thereby guiding future developments of monomial-order frameworks in combinatorial settings.
Abstract
We demonstrate that the direct sum of ideals satisfying the strong $\ell$-exchange property is of fiber type. Furthermore, we provide Gröbner bases of the presentation ideals of multi-Rees algebras and the corresponding special fibers, when they are associated with an $n$-dimensional Ferrers diagram that is standardizable. In particular, we show that these blowup algebras are Koszul Cohen--Macaulay normal domains and classify their singularities.
