This paper is a first step in understanding the primary decomposition of these ideals: it is proved here that $J(n,d)$ has $nd^2 + 20$ minimal prime ideals. Also, all the minimal components are computed, and the intersection of the minimal components as well.Commutative Algebra13C13, 13P05The minimal components of the Mayr-Meyer idealstext
