The monomial conjecture, in commutative algebra, is an open conjecture proposed by the mathematician Melvin Hochster.
Facts
StatementFor a Noetherian local ring A of Krull dimension d with a system of parameters x_1 through x_d, for every positive integer t the product of the x_i each raised to the power t is not in the ideal generated by the x_i each raised to the power t plus 1. 1 Progress Toward ResolutionThe monomial conjecture can be relatively easily shown to hold in characteristic zero. 1 Classification

Introduction section
Let A be a Noetherian local ring of Krull dimension d and let x1, ..., xd be a system of parameters for A. Then for all positive integers t, we have x1^t (dot) xd^t is not in (x1^(t+1), ..., xd^(t+1)).
