- Monomial conjecture
-
In commutative algebra, a subfield of mathematics, the monomial conjecture of Melvin Hochster says the following:[1]
Let A be a Noetherian local ring of Krull dimension d and let x1, ..., xd be a system of parameters for A (so that A/(x1, ..., xd) is an Artinian ring. Then for all positive integers t, we have
The statement can relatively easily be shown in characteristic zero.
