52 CHAPTER 3. OPERATIONS ON STABLE IDEALS3.3 Stable ideals with the same double saturationThis section is dedicated to the pro<strong>of</strong> that all saturated stable ideals with the same doublesaturation and the same Hilbert polynomial are linked by finite sequences <strong>of</strong> paired expansionsand contractions. As in the preceding section, where we presented a modified version<strong>of</strong> the definition <strong>of</strong> a contraction, some <strong>of</strong> the results presented here had to be modified andhad to be proved in a different way from that, discussed in [16]. Wherever modificationshad to be made, these have been documented within the framework <strong>of</strong> remarks.Recall from 2.14 that the double saturation sat xn−1 ,x n(I) <strong>of</strong> a stable ideal I ⊂ R canbe computed as follows: First compute the saturation sat xn (I) <strong>of</strong> I in R by Theorem2.13. The ideal obtained is still stable and can be viewed as an ideal in K[x 0 , . . . , x n−1 ].Hence, by 2.14, we obtain the ideal sat xn−1 ,x n(I) by computing the saturation <strong>of</strong> sat xn (I)in K[x 0 , . . . , x n−1 ].Lemma 3.17. Let I ⊂ R be a saturated stable ideal, I g the set <strong>of</strong> its minimal monomialgenerators and sat xn−1 ,x n(I) its double saturation. There is a finite sequence <strong>of</strong> contractionstaking I to sat xn−1 ,x n(I).Pro<strong>of</strong>. Let the monomials <strong>of</strong> I g be listed in descending lexicographic order. Furthermore,let x A · x a n−1n−1 = x a 00 · . . . · x arr · x a n−1n−1 with 0 ≤ r < n − 1 be the first monomial <strong>of</strong> I g(with respect to the lexicographic order) containing the variable x n−1 . Note that we mayassume that x n does not appear in the monomial, since I is saturated. We claim thatx A is contractible in I g . Since x A · x a n−1n−1 is an element <strong>of</strong> I g , the monomial x A cannot becontained in I. The only other condition for a contraction is L(x A ) ⊂ I. Since I is stableand x A · x a n−1n−1 ∈ I, we know in particular that all monomials <strong>of</strong> the formx a 00 · . . . · x a i−1i−1 · xa i+1i · x a i+1i+1 · . . . · xa j−1j−1 · xa j−1j · x a j+1j+1 · . . . · xar r · x a n−1n−1are contained in I for 0 ≤ i < j ≤ n − 1. In the lexicographic order, we havex a 00 · . . . · x a i−1i−1 · xa i+1i · x a i+1i+1 · . . . · xa j−1j−1 · xa j−1j · x a j+1j+1 · . . . · xar r · x a n−1n−1 > x A · x a n−1n−1for all such monomials. Since we have chosen x A · x a n−1n−1where x n−1 appears, it followsto be the first monomial generator,x a 00 · . . . · x a i−1i−1 · xa i+1i · x a i+1i+1 · . . . · xa j−1j−1 · xa j−1j · x a j+1j+1 · . . . · xar rfor all 0 ≤ i < j ≤ r. In particular, we obtain L(x A ) ⊂ I, since the left-shift L(x A ) iscontained in the ideal generated by such monomials. This proves that x A is contractiblein I g .Note that the contraction <strong>of</strong> the monomial x A replaces x A · x a n−1n−1 by x A in the ideal considered.Hence, in the next step, we search for the next monomial generator (with respectto the lexicographic order) containing x n−1 and iterate the above procedure. Since thereis only a finite number <strong>of</strong> monomials in I g containing the variable x n−1 , we can repeat∈ I
