GroebnerStrata :: GroebnerStrata

GroebnerStrata -- a package for creating families of ideals with the same initial ideal

Description

The GroebnerStrata package is designed to compute, given a monomial ideal in a polynomial ring, (and a term order, coming from the polynomial ring), a family of homogeneous ideals all with the given monomial ideal as its lead term (initial) ideal.

The GroebnerStrata package is designed for computing homogeneous strata and parameter families for monomial ideals in polynomial rings. In certain instances homogeneous strata can be used to compute local coordinates on Hilbert Schemes.

Here is an example of the basic use of the package. We compute the Groebner family of the ideal $(a^2, ab, b^2, ac)$. This is an ideal in a polynomial ring with variables the same as $S$, and whose coefficient ring is a polynomial ring containing all of the parameters. The groebnerStratum(Ideal) function returns the ideal in the parameters of the locus of parameters, for which the given family is a Groebner basis.

The ideal of the parameter space of all homogeneous ideals with this lead term ideal is an ideal in 24 variables. Often, these parameter ideals are in too many variables to easily analyze them. But in this case we can determine the irreducible components of the ideal $J$. There are two components, of dimensions 8 and 11. Note that they are both rational varieties.

This tells us that there are 2 components (at least over the given field). Their dimensions are 11, 8.

We can find random points on each component, since these components are rational.

o17 : List

Note, the general element of one component is a plane conic union a point. (The dimension of the locus of all such is: (choice of plane) + (choice of degree 2 in plane) + choice of point. This is 3 + 5 + 3 = 11.

The other component consists of two skew lines. This has dimension (choice of line) + (choice of line). This is 4 + 4 = 8. Also notice that the 2 skew lines do not have to be defined over the base field, as in this case.
