The sequence of mixed \L ojasiewicz exponents associated to pairs of ideals

Abstract

We analyze the sequence $\mathcal L^*_J(I)$ of mixed \L ojasiewicz exponents attached to any pair $I,J$ of monomial ideals of finite colength of the ring of analytic function germs $(\mathbb C^n,0)\to \mathbb C$. In particular, we obtain a combinatorial expression for this sequence when $J$ is diagonal. We also show several relations of $\mathcal L^*_J(I)$ with other numerical invariants associated to $I$ and $J$.
