We study the class of 2-dimensional affine k-domains R satisfying ML(R) = k, where k is an arbitrary field of characteristic zero. In particular, we obtain the following result: Let R be a localization of a polynomial ring in finitely many…

Let A be a finitely generated commutative algebra over a field K with a presentation A=K < X_{1}, ..., X_{n} | R >, where R is a set of monomial relations in the generators X_{1}, ..., X_{n}. So A = K[S], the semigroup algebra of the monoid…

In this article we overview those aspects of the theory of affine semigroups and their algebras that have been relevant for our own research, and pose several open problems. Answers to these problems would contribute substantially to the…

Using linear algebra methods we study certain algebraic properties of monomial rings and matroids. Let I be a monomial ideal in a polynomial ring over an arbitrary field. If the Rees cone of I is quasi-ideal, we express the normalization of…

We consider a pair of semigroups associated to a signed poset, called the root semigroup and the weight semigroup, and their semigroup rings, $R_P^\mathrm{rt}$ and $R_P^\mathrm{wt}$, respectively. Theorem 4.1.5 gives generators for the…

We determine properties of two-dimensional normal affine semigroup rings, and in particular of weighted Veronese rings, including determinantal presentation, Gr\"obner basis, graded Hilbert series and graded Betti numbers, the structure of…

We characterize the toric face rings that are normal (respectively seminormal). Extending results about local cohomology of Brun, Bruns, Ichim, Li and R\"omer of seminormal monoid rings and Stanley toric face rings, we prove the vanishing…

In this article we provide a complete characterization of abelian group rings which are K\"{o}the rings. We also provide characterizations of (possibly non-abelian) group rings over division rings which are K\"{o}the rings, both in…

We show that the theory of hyperrings, due to M. Krasner, supplies a perfect framework to understand the algebraic structure of the adele class space of a global field. After promoting F1 to a hyperfield K, we prove that a hyperring of the…

We determine criteria for the prime spectrum of an ambiskew polynomial algebra $R$ over an algebraically closed field $K$ to be akin to those of two of the principal examples of such an algebra, namely the universal enveloping algebra…

Let $S=K[x_1,...,x_n]$ or $S=K[[x_1,...,x_n]]$ be either a polynomial or a formal power series ring in a finite number of variables over a field $K$ of characteristic $p > 0$ with $[K:K^p] < \infty$. Let $R$ be the hypersurface $S/fS$ where…

Let $R$ be a regular ring containing a field $k$. Let $\mathbf{x} = x_1, \ldots, x_r$ be a regular sequence in $R$ such that $R/(\mathbf{x})$ is a regular ring. Fix $m \geq 1$. Set $A_m = R/(\mathbf{x})^m$. We show that for any ideal $Q$ of…

We discuss when the Rat functor associated to a coring satisfying the left $\alpha$-condition is exact. We study the category of comodules over a semiperfect coring. We characterize semiperfect corings over artinian rings and over qF-rings.

Throughout, let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring. A ring $R$ satisfies Serre's condition $(S_{\ell})$ if for all $P \in \Spec R,$ $\depth R_P \geq \min \{ \ell , \dim R_P \}$. Serre's condition has been a topic of expanding interest. In…

We study cyclotomic association schemes over a finite commutative ring $R$ with identity. The main interest for us is to identify the normal cyclotomic schemes $C$, i.e. those for which $Aut(C)$ is a subgroup of the one-dimensional affine…

We recall and delve into the different characterizations of the depth of an affine semigroup ring, providing an original characterization of depth two in three and four dimensional cases which are closely related to the existence of a…

Let G be a reductive affine group scheme defined over a semilocal ring k. Assume that either G is semisimple or k is normal and noetherian. We show that G has a finite k-subgroup S such that the natural map H^1(R, S) --> H^1(R, G) is…

We give explicit descriptions of rings of differential operators of toric face rings in characteristic $0$. For quotients of normal affine semigroup rings by radical monomial ideals, we also identify which of their differential operators…

Let $R=K[G]$ be a group ring of a group $G$ over a field $K$. The Ore condition says that for any $a,b\in R$ there exist $u,v\in R$ such that $au=bv$, where $u\ne0$ or $v\ne0$. It always holds whenever $G$ is amenable. Recently it was shown…
