Let $S = \mathsf{k}[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$, $I$ be an ideal of $S$, and $\bar{I}$ denote its integral closure. A conjecture of K\"{u}ronya and Pintye states that for any homogeneous ideal $I$ of $S$, the inequality $\operatorname{reg}(\bar{I})…

Let R be an excellent local ring, m its maximal ideal and I an ideal. Then there exists a positive integer c such that for all integers n, the integral closure of (I + m^n) is contained in m^(n/c) + the integral closure of I. In the proof,…

By definition, an $\m$-primary ideal $I$ in a 2-dimensional regular local ring $(R, \m)$ is contracted if $I=R \cap IR[\m/x]$ for some $x \in \m \setminus \m^2$. Contracted ideals have been introduced by Zariski and used for proving the…

Given an ideal I in a polynomial ring, we consider the largest monomial subideal contained in I, denoted mono(I). We study mono as an interesting operation in its own right, guided by questions that arise from comparing the Betti tables of…

A cover by left ideals of an associative (not necessarily commutative or unital) ring $R$ is a collection of proper left ideals whose set-theoretic union equals $R$. If such a cover exists, then $\eta_\ell(R)$ is the cardinality of a…

This paper studies the Ratliff-Rush closure of ideals in integral domains. By definition, the Ratliff-Rush closure of an ideal $I$ of a domain $R$ is the ideal given by $\tilde{I}:=\bigcup(I^{n+1}:_{R}I^{n})$ and an ideal $I$ is said to be…

Let $(R, \mathfrak{m}, k)$ be an excellent equidimensional local ring of characteristic $p>0$. The aim of this paper is to show that $\ell_R(\mathfrak{q}^*/\mathfrak{q})$ does not depend on the choice of parameter ideal $\mathfrak{q}$…
