Abstract:
Consider a monomial-free ideal I in the polynomial ring in n variables over an algebraically closed field. Following the paper [1] for every point from Rn I will define the initial form of the ideal I. The zero locus of the initial ideal is a flat degeneration of affine variety V(I). The tropical variety Trop(I)⊆Rn is defined to be the set of those points for which associated initial ideals also contains no monomials. An ideal I is said to be well-poised if all of the initial ideals obtained from points in the tropical variety Trop(I) are prime. It is of interest to know when the ideal is a well-poised ideal. In paper [1] all well-poised principal ideals over an algebraically closed field are classified.
