On the regularity of product of irreducible monomial ideals

Abstract

Let [Formula: see text] be a polynomial ring in [Formula: see text] variables over a field [Formula: see text]. When [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are monomial ideals of [Formula: see text] generated by powers of the variables [Formula: see text], it is proved that [Formula: see text]. If [Formula: see text], the same result for the product of a finite number of ideals as above is proved.
