ABSTRACT We consider ideals generated by general sets of $m$-minors of an $m\times n$-matrix of indeterminates. The generators are identified with the facets of
an $(m-1)$-dimensional pure simplicial complex. The ideal generated by the
minors corresponding to the facets of such a complex is called a determinantal
facet ideal. Given a pure simplicial complex $\Delta$, we discuss the question
when the generating minors of its determinantal facet ideal $J_\Delta$ form a
Gr\"obner basis and when $J_\Delta$ is a prime ideal.

Article: Ladder determinantal rings
[hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this paper we show that ladder determinantal rings are normal. In the case of a ladder determinantal ring associated with a one-sided ladder, we compute the divisor class group, the canonical class, and we obtain a characterization of the Gorensteinness in terms of the shape of the ladder.

ABSTRACT: In this paper we study the well-known example of the ideal generated by all the r × r minors in the generic n × m matrix (Xij) from the point of view of Gröebner bases.
