Basic properties of complete intersection ideals












1














The title is quite self-explanatory. I'm studying, for an exam, the paper "The solution to Waring's problem for monomials" (this is the link https://arxiv.org/abs/1110.0745 ).



At the bottom of page 2, Lemma 2.2, we consider $J=(y_1,y_2^{a_2},ldots, y_n^{a_n}) subset T=k[y_1,ldots,y_n]$ ideal with $2leq a_2leqldotsleq a_n$.



The authors note that $J$ is homogeneous (and I agree) and complete intersection, for which they assert $$A=T/J$$ is an artinian Gorenstein ring, with $dim A_tau neq 0$ for $tau=a_2+ldots+a_n-(n-1)$.



My question are:



1) Why we can simply note $J$ is complete intersection?



2) Where can I find a proof of the statement "$J$ homogeneous and complete intersection $implies$ A artinian and Gorenstein"?



3) I know what a Gorenstein ring is, but I can't see why $dim A_tau neq 0$ for this $textit{specific}$ $tau$.



I know there's a lot of stuff in this question, but I hope someone can help me understaning, or suggesting me some references. Thanks in advance.

          I am working under the assumption that $T$ is a polynomial ring i.e. $y_i$ are algebraically independent elements.




          1. The ideal $J$ is a complete intersection ideal iff $ht(J) = mu(J)$. Here $mu(J)$ stands for the minimal number of generators of the ideal $J$. It is clear that $ht(J) = n$ and $mu(J) leq n$, since $J$ can evidently be generated by $n$ elements. But we know that $ht(J) leq mu(J)$. If we combine the previous observations together we have $n = ht(J) leq mu(J) leq n$. Thus $ht(J) = mu(J) = n$.


          2. Consider the ideal $mathfrak{m} = (y_1, dots , y_n)$. Then $T_{mathfrak{m}}$ is a regular local ring and hence Gorenstein. Since $y_1, y_2^{a_2}, dots y_n^{a_n}$ form a regular sequence, we have that $T_{mathfrak{m}}/J$ is gorenstein. Now note that since $y_i$ are nilpotent in $A$, every element not in image of $mathfrak{m}$ is already invertible in $A$, thus we get that $A = T_{mathfrak{m}}/J$. Thus $A$ is Gorenstien. Here I have used Lemma 45.21.3. and Lemma 45.21.6. from the following link https://stacks.math.columbia.edu/tag/0DW6.


          3. I claim that for $a =y_2^{a_2-1}. y_3^{a_3-1} dots y_n^{a_n-1}$, we have that the image $overline{a}$ is a non-zero element in $A$. If not then $a in J$. That will give a polynomial equation in $y_i$ but they are transcendental.
