Let $R$ be an excellent Noetherian ring of prime characteristic. Consider an arbitrary nested pair of ideals (or more generally, a nested pair of submodules of a fixed finite module). We do \emph{not} assume that their quotient has finite…
The aim of this paper is to introduce a new class of Noetherian rings of positive characteristic in terms of perfect closures and study their basic properties. If the perfect closure of a Noetherian ring is coherent, we call it an…
In this note, a condition (\emph{open persistence}) is presented under which a (pre)closure operation on submodules (resp. ideals) over rings of global sections over a scheme $X$ can be extended to a (pre)closure operation on sheaves of…
This paper establishes the fundamental properties of the $s$-closures, a recently introduced family of closure operations on ideals of rings of positive characteristic. The behavior of the $s$-closure of homogeneous ideals in graded rings…
It is proved that if $I$ and $J$ are weakly stable ideals in a polynomial ring $R=k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, with $k$ a field, then the regularity of $\text{Tor}^R_i(R/I,R/J)$ has the expected upper bound. We also give a bound for the regularity…
We define a closure operation for ideals in a commutative ring which has all the good properties of solid closure (at least in the case of equal characteristic) but such that also every ideal in a regular ring is closed. This gives in…
It is shown that tight closure commutes with localization in any two dimensional ring $R$ of prime characteristic if either $R$ is a Nagata ring or $R$ possesses a weak test element. Moreover, it is proved that tight closure commutes with…
We study the relationship between the tight closure of an ideal and the sum of all ideals in its linkage class.
We characterize the tight closure of graded primary ideals in a homogeneous coordinate ring over an elliptic curve by numerical conditions and we show that it is in positive characteristic the same as the plus closure.
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…
Many authors have investigated the behavior of strong cleanness under certain ring extensions. In this note, we prove that if $R$ is a ring which is complete with respect to an ideal $I$ and if $x$ is an element of $R$ whose image in $R/I$…
It was pointed out in my last paper that there are rings whose real closure * are not unique. In [4] we also discussed some example of rings by which there is a unique real closure * (mainly the real closed rings). Now we want to determine…
We present some sufficient conditions for continuity of the mapping $f:\langle X,\tau_X^*\rangle \to \langle Y,\tau_Y^*\rangle$, where $\tau_X^*$ and $\tau_Y^*$ are topologies induced by the local function on $X$ and $Y$, resp. under the…
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 provide a natural criterion which implies equality of the finitistic test ideal and test ideal in local rings of prime characteristic. Most notably, we show that the criterion is met by every local weakly $F$-regular ring whose…
We prove that the tight closure and the graded plus closure of a homogeneous ideal coincide for a two-dimensional N-graded domain of finite type over the algebraic closure of a finite field. This answers in this case a ``tantalizing…
We determine when graded rings have F-rational or F-regular Veronese subrings, and develop techniques of constructing F-rational rings which are not F-regular.
We compute the depth and regularity of ideals associated with arbitrary fillings of positive integers to a Young diagram, called the tableau ideals.
Among the several types of closures of an ideal $I$ that have been defined and studied in the past decades, the integral closure $\bar{I}$ has a central place being one of the earliest and most relevant. Despite this role, it is often a…
This paper is concerned with existence of big tight closure test elements for a commutative Noetherian ring $R$ of prime characteristic $p$. Let $R^{\circ}$ denote the complement in $R$ of the union of the minimal prime ideals of $R$. A big…
