Let $(A, \mathfrak m)$ be a normal two-dimensional local ring and $I$ an $\mathfrak m$-primary integrally closed ideal with a minimal reduction $Q$. Then we calculate the numbers: $\mathrm{nr}(I) = \min\{n \;|\; \overline{I^{n+1}} =…

Consider a rational projective plane curve C parameterized by three homogeneous forms h1,h2,h3 of the same degree d in the polynomial ring R=k[x,y] over the field k. Extracting a common factor, we may harmlessly assume that the ideal…

Let $S=K[x_1, \ldots,x_n]$ denote the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ and let $I \subset S$ be a monomial ideal. For a vector $\mathfrak{c}\in\mathbb{N}^n$, we set $I_{\mathfrak{c}}$ to be the ideal generated by monomials…

Let $f(Z)=Z^n-a_{1}Z^{n-1}+\cdots+(-1)^{n-1}a_{n-1}Z+(-1)^na_n$ be a monic polynomial with coefficients in a ring~$R$ with identity, not necessarily commutative. We study the ideal $I_f$ of $R[X_1,\dots,X_n]$ generated by…

We define the covering gonality and separable covering gonality of varieties over arbitrary fields, generalizing the definition given by Bastianelli-de Poi-Ein-Lazarsfeld-Ullery for complex varieties. We show that over an arbitrary field a…

We present a class of homogeneous ideals which are generated by monomials and binomials of degree two and are set-theoretic complete intersections. This class includes certain reducible varieties of minimal degree and, in particular, the…

Given a trivially graded polynomial ring $A=K[a_1,\dots,a_m]$ over a field $K$ and a positively graded polynomial ring $P=A[x_1,\dots,x_k]$, we study graded rings $R=P/I$, where $I$ is a homogeneous ideal in $P$ such that $I\cap A = \{0\}$.…

We determine, in a polynomial ring over a field, the arithmetical rank of certain ideals generated by a set of monomials and one binomial.

We study algebras k[x_1,...,x_n]/I which admit a grading by a subsemigroup of N^d such that every graded component is a one-dimensional k-vector space. V.I.~Arnold and coworkers proved that for d = 1 and n <= 3 there are only finitely many…

Suppose $G$ is a simple graph with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges, and rank $r$. Let $\chi_G(t)=a_0t^n-a_1t^{n-1}+\cdots +(-1)^ra_rt^{n-r}$ be the chromatic polynomial of $G$. For $q,k\in \Bbb{Z}$ and $0\le k\le q+r+1$, we obtain a sharp two-side…

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 estimate the frequency of polynomial iterations which falls in a given multiplicative subgroup of a finite field of $p$ elements. We also give a lower bound on the size of the subgroup which is multiplicatively generated by the first $N$…

Let $p$ be a prime, let $1 \le t < d < p$ be integers, and let $S$ be a non-empty subset of $\mathbb{F}_p$. We establish that if a polynomial $P:\mathbb{F}_p^n \to \mathbb{F}_p$ with degree $d$ is such that the image $P(S^n)$ does not…

We examine the ideal $I=(x_1^2, \dots, x_n^2, (x_1+\dots+x_n)^2)$ in the polynomial ring $Q=k[x_1, \dots, x_n]$, where $k$ is a field of characteristic zero or greater than $n$. We also study the Gorenstein ideal $G$ linked to $I$ via the…

Consider the polynomial ring $R_n = k[x_1,...,x_n]$, where $k$ is a field. Let $m = (x_1,...,x_n)$ and $I$ be an $m$-primary monomial ideal in $R$. We consider the problem of determining whether such ideals are in the Gorenstein liasion…

We initiate a classification of complex polynomials f of degree d having the top Betti number of the general fibre close to the maximum. We find a range in which the polynomial must have isolated singularities and another range where it may…

Given a 0-dimensional affine K-algebra R=K[x_1,...,x_n]/I, where I is an ideal in a polynomial ring K[x_1,...,x_n] over a field K, or, equivalently, given a 0-dimensional affine scheme, we construct effective algorithms for checking whether…

We study properties of the resolution of almost Gorenstein artinian algebras $R/I,$ i.e. algebras defined by ideals $I$ such that $I=J+(f),$ with $J$ Gorenstein ideal and $f\in R.$ Such algebras generalize the well known almost complete…

Let $X$ be an affine or a projective variety defined over a number field $K$ and $\varphi:{\bf C}\to X({\bf C})$ be a holomorphic map with Zariski dense image. We estimate the number of rational points of height bounded by $H$ in the image…

We prove an analogue of the Affine Horrocks' Theorem for local complete intersection ideals of height $n$ in $R[T]$, where $R$ is a regular domain of dimension $d$, which is essentially of finite type over an infinite perfect field of…
