Pinched Veronese rings are formed by removing an algebra generator from a Veronese subring of a polynomial ring. We study the homological properties of such rings, including the Cohen-Macaulay, Gorenstein, and complete intersection…

We introduce an operation on modules over an $F$-finite ring of characteristic $p$. We call this operation \emph{tight interior}. While it exists more generally, in some cases this operation is equivalent to the Matlis dual of tight…

A famous result of Freiman describes the structure of finite sets A of integers with small doubling property. If |A + A| <= K|A| then A is contained within a multidimensional arithmetic progression of dimension d(K) and size f(K)|A|. Here…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring, $M$ be a finitely generated $R$-module and $\mathfrak{a}$, $I$ and $J$ be ideals of $R$. We investigate the structure of formal local cohomology modules of…

In this paper we present an equivalent statement to the Jacobian conjecture. For a polynomial map F on an affine space of dimension n, we define recursively n finite sequences of polynomials. We give an equivalent condition to the…

Let (R,m) be a local ring that contains a field. We show that, when R has equal characteristic p>0 and when H_m^i(R) has finite length for all i<dimR, then R is F-injective if and only if every ideal generated by a system of parameters is…

Test ideals are an important concept in tight closure theory and their behavior via flat base change can be very difficult to understand. Our paper presents results regarding this behavior under flat maps with reasonably nice (but far from…

In this article we prove that the Buchsbaum-Rim multiplicity $e(F/N)$ of a parameter module $N$ in a free module $F=A^r$ is bounded above by the colength $\ell_A(F/N)$. Moreover, we prove that once the equality $\ell_A(F/N)=e(F/N)$ holds…

The Casas-Alvero conjecture predicts that every univariate polynomial over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero sharing a common factor with each of its Hasse-Schmidt derivatives is a power of a linear polynomial. The…

Given two ideals $I$ and $J$ of the ring $\mathcal O_n$ of analytic function germs $f:(\mathbb C^n,0)\to \mathbb C$, we show a sharp lower bound for the log canonical threshold of $IJ$ in terms of the sequences of mixed {\L}ojasiewicz…

A completeness conjecture is advanced concerning the free small-colimit completion P(A) of a (possibly large) category A. The conjecture is based on the existence of a small generating-cogenerating set of objects in A. We sketch how the…

We prove a result relating the Jacobian ideal and the generalized test ideal associated to a principal ideal in $R=k[x_1,...,x_n]$ with $[k:k^p]<\infty$ or in $R=k[[x_1,...,x_n]]$ with an arbitrary field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. As a…

We look at the maximal entropy (MME) measure of the boundaries of connected components of the Fatou set of a rational map of degree greater than or equal to 2. We show that if there are infinitely many Fatou components, and if either the…

In this article, we investigate the $\operatorname{v}$-numbers of powers of monomial ideals and their integral closures in a polynomial ring $S$. We provide an alternative proof for determining the $\operatorname{v}$-numbers of powers of…

We study threshold properties of random constraint satisfaction problems under a probabilistic model due to Molloy. We give a sufficient condition for the existence of a sharp threshold that leads (for boolean constraints) to a necessary…

The Eisenbud-Green-Harris (EGH) conjecture states that a homogeneous ideal in a polynomial ring $K[x_1,\,\ldots,\,x_n]$ over a field $K$ that contains a regular sequence $f_1,\,\ldots,\, f_n$ with degrees $a_i$, $i=1,\,\ldots,\,n$ has the…

We consider polynomial maps, which we call degree $d$-linear maps, that satisfy the Jacobian condition. We prove that certain infinite families of elements, which appear in the coefficients of the formal inverse of such maps, are in the…

In this article we investigate when a homogeneous ideal in a graded ring is normal, that is, when all positive powers of the ideal are integrally closed. We are particularly interested in homogeneous ideals in an N-graded ring generated by…

We call a group FJ if it satisfies the $K$- and $L$-theoretic Farrell-Jones conjecture with coefficients in $\mathbb Z$. We show that if $G$ is FJ, then the simple Borel conjecture (in dimensions $\ge 5$) holds for every group of the form…

Broadhurst conjectured that the Feynman integral associated to the polynomial corresponding to $t=1$ in the one-parameter family $(1+x_1+x_2+x_3)(1+x_1^{-1}+x_2^{-1}+x_3^{-1})-t$ is expressible in terms of $L(f,2),$ where $f$ is a cusp form…
