Shifting operations and completely $t$-spread lexsegment ideals

In this paper we introduce the concepts of arbitrary $t$-spread lexsegments and of arbitrary $t$-spread lexsegment ideals with $t$ a positive integer. These concepts are a natural generalization of arbitrary lexsegments and arbitrary lexsegment ideals. An ideal generated by an arbitrary $t$-spread lexsegment is called completely $t$-spread lexsegment if it is equal to the intersection of an initial $t$-spread lexsegment ideal and of a final $t$-spread lexsegment ideal. We study the class of arbitrary $t$-spread lexsegment ideals. In particular, we characterize all completely $t$-spread lexsegment ideals. Moreover, we classify all completely $t$-spread lexsegment ideals with a linear resolution.
