Abstract

Let K be a field and S= K[ x 1,\cdots , x n ]. In 1982, Stanley defined what is now called the Stanley depth of an S-module M, denoted sdepth\thinspace ( M), and conjectured that depth\thinspace ( M)\leq sdepth\thinspace ( M) for all finitely generated S-modules M. This conjecture remains open for most cases. However, Herzog, Vladoiu and Zheng recently proposed a method of attack in the case when M= I/ J with J\subset  I being monomial S-ideals. Specifically, their method associates M with a partially ordered set. In this paper we take advantage of this association by using combinatorial tools to analyze squarefree Veronese ideals in S. In particular, if I n, d is the squarefree Veronese ideal generated by all squarefree monomials of degree d, we show that if 1\leq  d\leq  n<5 d+4, then sdepth\thinspace ( I n, d )=\lfloor ( n -  d)/( d+1)\rfloor + d, and if d\geq 1 and n\geq 5 d+4, then d+3\leq sdepth\thinspace ( I n, d )\leq \lfloor ( n -  d)/( d+1)\rfloor + d.
