Abstract

We prove that for m≥3, the symbolic power Iδ(m) of a Stanley-Reisner ideal is Cohen-Macaulay if and only if the simplicial complex δ is a matroid. Similarly, the ordinary power Iδm is Cohen-Macaulay for some m≥3 if and only if I_δ is a complete intersection. These results solve several open questions on the Cohen-Macaulayness of ordinary and symbolic powers of Stanley-Reisner ideals. Moreover, they have interesting consequences on the Cohen-Macaulayness of symbolic powers of facet ideals and cover ideals.
