Abstract

Consider the polynomial ring $S=\mathbb{K}[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$ over a field $\mathbb{K}$. For any equigenerated monomial ideal $I \subset S$ with the defining ideal $J$ of the fiber cone $\F(I)$ generated by quadratic binomials, we introduce a matrix. The key observation is that the set of binomial $2$-minors of this matrix serves as a generating set for $J$. This framework in particular provides a characterization of the fiber cone for Freiman ideals, as well as offering a specific characterization for the fiber cone of sortable ideals.
