In the generality of a rigidly-compactly generated tensor triangulated category, we introduce semi-Bousfield classes in terms of the vanishing of the tensor product in positive degrees with respect to a fixed reasonable $t$-structure. We…

In this paper, we answer negatively to a question posed in the context of the 2025 Oberwolfach Mini-Workshop ``The Yang-Baxter Equation and Representations of Braid Groups'' regarding the existence of split extensions classifiers in the…

Let $(R,\frak m)$ be a generalized Cohen-Macaulay local ring of prime characteristic $p$. In this paper we give a sharp bound for the Frobenius test exponent of parameter ideals. Namely, we prove that $$\mathrm{Fte}(R) \le \lceil…

Let $R$ be a local or positively graded ring with a regular presentation $R \cong Q/I$ where $I$ is a monomial ideal generated by $n$ elements on a regular sequence. In Briggs-Grifo-Pollitz (2025), the authors classify the cohomological…

We report on a collection of open problems in commutative algebra and related areas that have been resolved (proved or disproved) using the Rethlas natural-language automated reasoning system. The problems are drawn from several published…

We introduce and study the Bourbaki degree as a numerical invariant for \(2 \times 4\) matrices $\Theta$ of homogeneous polynomials over a polynomial ring \(R = k[x_1, \dots, x_n]\). This invariant, defined via a Bourbaki sequence for the…

This article is a generalization of a result in Quillen's note ``Module theory over non-unital rings'' giving a one-to-one correspondence between bilocalization of abelian categories of modules and idempotent ideals of the base ring.…

K. S. S. Nambooripad introduced an interesting class of categories known as normal categories, which are categories with subobjects, morphisms admitting factorization and having sufficiently many cones. These normal categories plays…

We give a complete classification of the Jordan types occurring in the nilpotent commutator of a nilpotent matrix whose Jordan type is a hook partition. As a consequence, we also show that two partitions with the same generic commuting…

For a graded ideal I in a graded ring, the deviation of I is defined as the difference between the minimal number of generators of I and its grade. In this article, we provide bigraded free resolutions of the symmetric algebras for specific…

We study a symmetry problem for the $h$-polynomials of edge rings of bipartite graphs. Let $G$ be a bipartite graph and write $h(\mathbb{k}[G];t)=h_0+h_1t+\cdots+h_st^s$. We prove that if $\Bbbk[G]$ is pseudo-Gorenstein and $h_1=h_{s-1}$,…

We establish the equivalence between models of enhanced $2$-sketches and algebras over monads, including the (co)lax morphisms. More precisely, for any enhanced limit $2$-sketch $\mathbb{T}$ with tight cones, the enhanced $2$-category…

We construct an explicit commutative ring $R$ that is reduced and integrally closed, such that $R_{\mathfrak p}$ is an integrally closed McCoy ring for every maximal ideal $\mathfrak p$ of $R$, while $R$ itself is not a McCoy ring and is…

We give a negative answer to Problem 19 of Cahen, Fontana, Frisch, and Glaz concerning the flatness and freeness of rings of integer-valued polynomials. We construct an explicit one-dimensional Noetherian local domain D over the field with…

The $C$-quasi-injective dimension is a recently introduced homological invariant that unifies and extends the notions of quasi-injective dimension and of injective dimension with respect to a semidualizing module, previously studied by…

In 2016 Ananyan and Hochster proved Stillman's conjecture by showing the existence of a uniform upper bound on the length of an $R_\eta$-sequence containing fixed $n$ forms of degree at most $d$ in polynomial rings over a field. This result…

We describe and prove correctness of two practical algorithms for finding indecomposable summands of finitely generated modules over a finitely generated k-algebra R. The first algorithm applies in the (multi)graded case, which enables the…

We explore the relationship between multigraded Castelnuovo--Mumford regularity, truncations, Betti numbers, and virtual resolutions on a product of projective spaces $X$. After proving a uniqueness theorem for certain virtual resolutions,…

We prove a mixed-characteristic analogue of Kunz's theorem in terms of perfectoid towers: a Noetherian local ring of residue characteristic $p$ is regular if and only if it admits a flat map to a Noetherian ring that extends to a perfectoid…

We prove that every perfectoid tower can be decomposed into a fiber product of perfectoid towers that are either $p$-torsion free or perfect of characteristic $p$. As an application, we show that separated perfectoid towers are reduced. We…
