The motivation for the results in this note comes from a theorem of Macaulay. Let f1, …, fn be elements of a polynomial ring R over a field, and let I be the ideal they generate. Assume IR and rank (I) = n. Then the theorem of Lasker and Macaulay asserts that I is unmixed (all prime ideals belonging to I have rank n). Macaulay [1, p. 51] proved further that any power of I is unmixed.
