Boolean ideals and their varieties

Abstract

We consider ideals in the ring $\mathbb{Z}_2[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$ that contain the polynomials $x_i^2 - x_i$ for $i = 1, \ldots, n$ and give various results related to the one-to-one correspondence between these ideals and the subsets of $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$. We also study the standard monomials with respect to the lexicographical ordering for these ideals and derive a distribution result.
