Let X be a toric variety over a field K determined by a triangle. Let Y be the blow-up at (1,1) in X. In this paper we give some criteria for finite generation of the Cox ring of Y in the case where Y has a curve C such that C^2 \le 0 and…

For any ideal $I$ in a Noetherian local ring or any graded ideal $I$ in a standard graded $K$-algebra over a field $K$, we introduce the socle module $\mathrm{Soc}(I)$, whose graded components give us the socle of the powers of $I$. It is…
