Abstract

In their study on the content of the product of two polynomials, A. Corso, V. Vasconcelos and R. Villarreal found a minimal reduction of a particular class of Ferrers ideals. Inspired by their work and the work of A. Corso and U. Nagel, we find a minimal reduction of an arbitrary Ferrers ideal using a different approach. In this talk, we will give an introduction to Ferrers ideals and minimal reductions, explain the motivating result, and present our generalization.This is joint work with Sonja Petrovic.
