54 CHAPTER 3. OPERATIONS ON STABLE IDEALSand we obtain I (2) = (x 0 , 1) = K[x 0 , x 1 , x 2 ] = sat x1 ,x 2(I).Example 3.20. Consider the ideal I := (x 0 , x 2 1, x 1 x 3 2) ⊂ K[x 0 , x 1 , x 2 , x 3 ]. Since the generatorsin I g := {x 0 , x 2 1, x 1 x 3 2} fulfill Theorem 2.7 and do not contain x 3 , I is a saturatedstable ideal. The double saturation sat xn−1 ,x n(I) is the ideal generated by the set <strong>of</strong> monomials{x 0 , x 1 }, since we have to set x 2 := 1. This provides the monomials x 0 , x 2 1, x 1 , wherewe may forget about x 2 1, since it is divisible by x 1 . Now we proceed with respect to thepro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> the lemma:• We have to choose the first monomial <strong>of</strong> I g containing the variable x n−1 = x 2 , i.e. x 1 x 3 2.In the terminology <strong>of</strong> the pro<strong>of</strong>, we get x A = x 1 x 2 2. Since x 1 x 2 2 is not contained in I gand L(x 1 x 2 2) = {x 0 x 2 2, x 2 1x 2 } ⊂ I, we can contract x 1 x 2 2 (Note that L(x 1 x 2 2) is not asubset <strong>of</strong> the set <strong>of</strong> minimal generators <strong>of</strong> I – if we had the condition L(x 1 x 2 2) ⊂ I g ,the monomial x 1 x 2 2 would not be contractible at all. Because <strong>of</strong> this, the definition<strong>of</strong> a contraction and the contractibility <strong>of</strong> a monomial differs from the definition <strong>of</strong>the contraction in [16]). We will denote the ideal, which we obtain after performingthe contraction, by I (1) . It is generated minimally byI (1)g = I g ∪ {x 1 x 2 2}\{x 1 x 3 2} = {x 0 , x 2 1, x 1 x 2 2}.• Next, we have to choose x 1 x 2 2. Again, the monomial x 1 x 2 is not contained in I g(1) andL(x 1 x 2 ) = {x 0 x 2 , x 2 1} ⊂ I (1) . Hence, x 1 x 2 is contractible in I g(1) and it provides theideal I (2) generated byI (2)g = I (1)g ∪ {x 1 x 2 }\{x 1 x 2 2} = {x 0 , x 2 1, x 1 x 2 }.• In the last step, we have to choose x 1 x 2 ∈ I g(2) with L(x 1 ) = {x 0 } ⊂ I (2) . Hence, theideal I (3) , which we obtain after performing the contraction <strong>of</strong> x 1 in I g(2) is generatedbyI g (3) = I g (2) ∪ {x 1 }\{x 2 1, x 1 x 2 } = {x 0 , x 1 },which shows I (3) = sat x2 ,x 3(I).In Example 3.16, we saw that a contraction followed by an expansion <strong>of</strong> the same monomialin some stable ideal I ⊂ R will not always give the same ideal I again. If we restrictourselves to the type <strong>of</strong> contractions, which have been used above to compute the doublesaturations, the lemma below shows that the contraction <strong>of</strong> such a monomial followed bythe expansion <strong>of</strong> the same monomial will always provide the same ideal.Lemma 3.21. Let I ⊂ R be a saturated stable ideal with I sat xn−1 ,x n(I) and m ∈ I thefirst minimal monomial generator <strong>of</strong> I with the last variable x n−1 . Then the contractionmfollowed by the expansion <strong>of</strong> provides (I con ) exp = I.x n−1
