A simplicial complex $X$ is said to be tight with respect to a field $\mathbb{F}$ if $X$ is connected and, for every induced subcomplex $Y$ of $X$, the linear map $H_\ast (Y; \mathbb{F}) \rightarrow H_\ast (X; \mathbb{F})$ (induced by the…

Let $S = \mathsf{k}[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$, $I$ be an ideal of $S$, and $\bar{I}$ denote its integral closure. A conjecture of K\"{u}ronya and Pintye states that for any homogeneous ideal $I$ of $S$, the inequality $\operatorname{reg}(\bar{I})…

We explore inequality constraints as a new tool for numerically evaluating Feynman integrals. A convergent Feynman integral is non-negative if the integrand is non-negative in either loop momentum space or Feynman parameter space. Applying…

A weaker form of the multiplicity conjecture of Herzog, Huneke, and Srinivasan is proven for two classes of monomial ideals: quadratic monomial ideals and squarefree monomial ideals with sufficiently many variables relative to the Krull…

We provide a negative answer to an old question in tight closure theory by showing that the containment x^3y^3 \in (x^4,y^4,z^4)^* in K[x,y,z]/(x^7+y^7-z^7) holds for infinitely many but not for almost all prime characteristics of the field…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an analytically unramified Cohen-Macaulay local ring and let $\mathfrak{a}$ be an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal in $A$. If $I$ is an ideal in $A$ then let $I^*$ be the integral closure of $I$ in $A$. Let…

We prove a characterization of F-rationality in terms of tight closure of products of parameter ideals. Our results are inspired by the theory of complete ideals for surfaces and, in particular, the fundamental results of Lipman-Teissier…

We compute the $F$-pure threshold of some non-principal ideals which satisfy a geometric generic condition about their Newton polyhedron. We also contribute some evidence in favor of the conjectured equality between the $F$-pure threshold…

In this paper, by using a combinatorial approach, we establish a new upper bound for the F-threshold $c^\mm(\mm)$ of determinantal rings generated by maximal minors. We prove that $c^\mm(\mm)$ coincides with the $a$-invariant in the case of…

We continue our study of F-thresholds begun in math/0607660 by an in depth analysis of the hypersurface case. We use the D--module theoretic description of generalized test ideals which allows us to show that in any F--finite regular ring…

Let $(A,\frak m)$ be an excellent normal local ring with algebraically closed residue class field. Given integrally closed $\frak m$-primary ideals $I\supset J$, we show that there is a composition series between $I$ and $J$, by integrally…

The study of Frobenius actions on local cohomology modules over a local ring of prime characteristic has interesting connections with the theory of tight closure. This paper establishes new connections by developing the notion of relative…

Let $k$ be a field, let $A$ and $B$ be polynomial rings over $k$, and let $S= A \otimes_k B$. Let $I \subseteq A$ and $J \subseteq B$ be monomial ideals. We establish a binomial expansion for rational powers of $I+J \subseteq S$ in terms of…

We describe some basic facts about the weak subintegral closure of ideals in both the algebraic and complex-analytic settings. We focus on the analogy between results on the integral closure of ideals and modules and the weak subintegral…

Let $(R, \frak m)$ be a local ring of prime characteristic $p$ of dimension $d$ with the embedding dimension $v$. Suppose the Frobenius test exponent for parameter ideals $Fte(R)$ of $R$ is finite, and let $Q = p^{Fte(R)}$. It is shown that…

We show that for ideals primary to a maximal ideal in a normal domain of finite type over the complex numbers, its tight closure is contained inside the continuous closure.

We show that the Fr\"oberg conjecture holds in the second non-trivial degree for an ideal generated by generic forms of degree $d>2$. We also show that the conjecture is true up to degree $2d-1$ provided that the number of variables is…

The symbolic powers $I^{(n)}$ of a radical ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring consist of the functions that vanish up to order $n$ in the variety defined by $I$. These do not necessarily coincide with the ordinary algebraic powers $I^n$, but it…

In this paper, using ultra-Frobenii, we introduce a variant of Schoutens' non-standard tight closure, ultra-tight closure, on ideals of a local domain $R$ essentially of finite type over $\mathbb{C}$. We prove that the ultra-test ideal…

F-thresholds are defined by Mustata, Takagi and Watanabe in [F-thresholds and Bernstein-Sato polynomials], which are invariants of the pair of ideals on rings of characteristic $p$. In their paper, it is proved F-thresholds equal to jumping…
