Abstract

The support poset of a monomial ideal \(I\subseteq {{\mathbf {k}}}[x_1,\ldots ,x_n]\) encodes the relation between the variables \(x_1,\ldots ,x_n\) and the minimal monomial generators of I. It is known that not every poset is realizable as the support poset of some monomial ideal. We describe some posets P for which we can explicitly find at least one monomial ideal \(I_P\) such that P is the support poset of \(I_P\). Also, for some families of monomial ideals we describe their support posets and study their properties. As an example of application we examine the relation between forests and series-parallel ideals.
