  Abstract:
Let \mathbbK be a field and S=\mathbbK[x1,...,xn] be the polynomial ring in n variables over the field \mathbbK. Let G be a forest with p connected components G1,…,Gp and let I=I(G) be its edge ideal in S. Suppose that di is the diameter of Gi, 1 ≤ ip, and consider d = max{di | 1 ≤ ip}. Morey has shown that for every t ≥ 1, the quantity max{⎡[(dt+2)/3]⎤+p−1,p} is a lower bound for depth(S/It). In this paper, we show that for every t ≥ 1, the mentioned quantity is also a lower bound for sdepth(S/It). By combining this inequality with Burch's inequality, we show that any sufficiently large powers of edge ideals of forests are Stanley. Finally, we state and prove a generalization of our main theorem.
