Abstract

We prove that the multi-Rees algebra \({\mathcal {R}}(I_1 \oplus \cdots \oplus I_r)\) of a collection of strongly stable ideals \(I_1, \ldots , I_r\) is of fiber type. In particular, we provide a Gröbner basis for its defining ideal as a union of a Gröbner basis for its special fiber and binomial syzygies. We also study the Koszulness of \({\mathcal {R}}(I_1 \oplus \cdots \oplus I_r)\) based on parameters associated to the collection. Furthermore, we establish a quadratic Gröbner basis of the defining ideal of \({\mathcal {R}}(I_1 \oplus I_2)\) where each of the strongly stable ideals has two quadric Borel generators. As a consequence, we conclude that this multi-Rees algebra is Koszul.
