Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field. There has been much interest in characterizing multiple structures in $\P^n_K$ defined on a linear subspace of small codimension under additional assumptions (e.g. Cohen-Macaulay). We show that no…

We study the family of ideals defined by mixed size minors of two-sided ladders of indeterminates. We compute their Groebner bases with respect to a skew-diagonal monomial order, then we use them to compute the height of the ideals. We show…

Let G be a simple undirected graph on n vertices, and let I(G) \subseteq R = k[x_1,...,x_n] denote its associated edge ideal. We show that all chordal graphs G are sequentially Cohen-Macaulay; our proof depends upon showing that the…

We describe combinatorially the Cohen-Macaulay type of edge-weighted r-path suspensions of edge-weighted graphs for an arbitrary positive integer r. The computation of the Cohen-Macaulay type of edge-weighted suspensions of edge-weighted…

An explicit combinatorial minimal free resolution of an arbitrary monomial ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field of characteristic $0$ is defined canonically, without any choices, using higher-dimensional…

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 give a systematic approach to constructing non-reduced, locally Cohen-Macaulay schemes with reduced support a smooth projective variety. The hierarchy of such structures includes a lot of information about the underlying variety, its…

Some recent investigations indicate that for the classification of Cohen-Macaulay binomial edge ideals, it suffices to consider biconnected graphs with some whiskers attached (in short, `block with whiskers'). This paper provides explicit…

We study Stanley decompositions and show that Stanley's conjecture on Stanley decompositions implies his conjecture on partitionable Cohen-Macaulay simplicial complexes. We also prove these conjectures for all Cohen-Macaulay monomial ideals…

In 2002, it was conjectured that a free divisor satisfying the so-called Logarithmic Comparison Theorem (LCT) must be strongly Euler-homogeneous. Today, it is known to be true only in ambient dimension less or equal than three or assuming…

We prove that, for the edge ideal of a cactus graph, the arithmetical rank is bounded above by the sum of the number of cycles and the maximum height of its associated primes. The bound is sharp, but in many cases it can be improved.…

Let $H$ be a simple undirected graph. The family of all matchings of $H$ forms a simplicial complex called the matching complex of $H$. Here , we give a classification of all graphs with a Gorenstein matching complex. Also we study when the…

We revisit the relation between the anomalies in four and six dimensions and the Chern-Simons couplings one dimension below. While the dimensional reduction of chiral theories is well-understood, the question which three and…

Let $\Delta$ be a simplicial complex. We study the expansions of $\Delta$ mainly to see how the algebraic and combinatorial properties of $\Delta$ and its expansions are related to each other. It is shown that $\Delta$ is Cohen-Macaulay,…

We define what it means for a Cohen-Macaulay ring to to be super-stretched and show that Cohen-Macaulay rings of graded countable Cohen-Macaulay type are super-stretched. We use this result to show that rings of graded countable…

Inspired by several recent papers on the edge ideal of a graph G, we study the equivalent notion of the independence complex of G. Using the tool of vertex decomposability from geometric combinatorics, we show that 5-chordal graphs with no…

For a simplicial complex X on {1,2, ..., n} we define enriched homology and cohomology modules. They are graded modules over k[x_1, ..., x_n] whose ranks are equal to the dimensions of the reduced homology and cohomology groups. We…

We let R be a one-dimensional graded complete intersection, satisfying certain degree conditions which are satisfied whenever R is a numerical semigroup ring of embedding dimension at least three. We show that a graded maximal…

We classify the complementary vectors of doubly Cohen-Macaulay complexes. This proves a conjecture of Swartz, negatively answers a question of Athanasiadis and Tzanaki, and gives new bounds on the number of independent sets in a matroid.…

Let $G$ be a permutation graph. We show that $G$ is Cohen-Macaulay if and only if $G$ is unmixed and vertex decomposable. When this is the case, we obtain a combinatorial description for the $a$-invariant of $G$. Moreover, we characterize…
