We define the resurgence and asymptotic resurgence numbers associated to a pair of graded families of ideals in a Noetherian ring. These notions generalize the well-studied resurgence and asymptotic resurgence of an ideal in a polynomial…

We study cut algebras which are toric rings associated to graphs. The key idea is to consider suitable retracts to understand algebraic properties and invariants of such algebras like being a complete intersection, having a linear…

It is proved that if $D$ is a $UFD$ and $R$ is a $D$-algebra, such that $U(R)\cap D\neq U(D)$, then $R$ has a maximal subring. In particular, if $R$ is a ring which either contains a unit $x$ which is not algebraic over the prime subring of…

The complexity of computing the solutions of a system of multivariate polynomial equations by means of Groebner bases computations is upper bounded by a function of the solving degree. In this paper, we discuss how to rigorously estimate…

The classical "generalized principal ideal theorems" of Macaulay, Eagon-Northcott, and others give sharp bounds on the heights of determinantal ideals in arbitrary rings. But in regular local rings (or graded polynomial rings) these are far…

We study the Rees algebra of a perfect Gorenstein ideal of codimension 3 in a hypersurface ring. We provide a minimal generating set of the defining ideal of these rings by introducing a modified Jacobian dual and applying a recursive…

When M is a finitely generated graded module over a standard graded algebra S and I is an ideal of S, it is known from work of Cutkosky, Herzog, Kodiyalam, R\"omer, Trung and Wang that the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of I^mM has the form…

In this article we establish bounds for the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of projective schemes in terms of the degrees of their defining equations. The main new ingredient in our proof is to show that generic residual intersections of…

Let R be an excellent local ring, m its maximal ideal and I an ideal. Then there exists a positive integer c such that for all integers n, the integral closure of (I + m^n) is contained in m^(n/c) + the integral closure of I. In the proof,…

We present algorithms for the computation of the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the Rees algebra and of the fiber ring of equigenerated $\mm$-primary ideals in two variables. Applying these algorithms, we find a counter-example to a…

It has been a well-known fact since Euclid's time that there exist infinitely many rational primes. Two natural questions arise: In which other rings, sufficiently similar to the integers, are there infinitely many irreducible elements? Is…

When we consider the action of a finite group on a polynomial ring, a polynomial unchanged by the action is called an invariant polynomial. A famous result of Noether states that in characteristic zero the maximal degree of a minimal…

We give an explicit upper bound for the number of equivalence classes of binary forms with rational integral coefficients of given degree and given discriminant, and with given splitting field. Further, we give an explicit upper bound for…

We introduce two closure operations on ideals in commutative rings related to the ring operation of root closure. One closure is the result of iterating a root-like operation on ideals infinitely many times, and the other closure arises as…

We study the set of monomial ideals in a polynomial ring as an ordered set, with the ordering given by reverse inclusion. We give a short proof of the fact that every antichain of monomial ideals is finite. Then we investigate ordinal…

For given integers $m,n \geq 2$ there are examples of ideals $I$ of complete determinantal local rings $(R,\mathfrak{m}), \dim R = m+n-1, \operatorname{grade} I = n-1,$ with the canonical module $\omega_R$ and the property that the socle…

This paper concerns a generalization of the Rees algebra of ideals due to Eisenbud, Huneke and Ulrich that works for any finitely generated module over a noetherian ring. Their definition is in terms of maps to free modules. We give an…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an excellent normal local ring of dimension $d \geq 2$ with infinite residue field. Let $I$ be an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal. Then the following assertions are equivalent: (i) The extended Rees algebra $A[It,…

In this paper we investigate the question of normality for special monomial ideals in a polynomial ring over a field. We first include some expository sections that give the basics on the integral closure of a ideal, the Rees algebra on an…

We give a number of constructions where inverse limits seriously degrade properties of regular rings, such as unit-regularity, diagonalisation of matrices, and finite stable rank. This raises the possibility of using inverse limits to…
