Standard multigraded Hibi rings and Cartwright-Sturmfels ideals

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce standard multigradings on Hibi rings, which are algebras arising from posets. We show that any standard multigrading on a Hibi ring that makes its defining ideal (called the Hibi ideal) homogeneous is induced by a chain of the underlying poset. After that, we calculate the multigraded Hilbert series of Hibi rings by generalizing the theory of $P$-partition and we compute the multidegree polynomials of Hibi rings. Furthermore, we characterize Hibi ideals that are Cartwright-Sturmfels ideals.
