Abstract

Let I be a monomial ideal in a polynomial ring \(R = k[x_{1},\dots ,x_{r}]\). In this paper, we give an upper bound on \(\overline {\text {dstab}} (I)\) in terms of r and the maximal generating degree d(I) of I such that \(\text {depth} R/\overline {I^{n}}\) is constant for all \(n\geqslant \overline {\text {dstab}}(I)\). As an application, we classify the class of monomial ideals I such that \(\overline {I^{n}}\) is Cohen-Macaulay for some integer n ≫ 0.
