In this paper, we introduce techniques for producing normal square-free monomial ideals from old such ideals. These techniques are then used to investigate the normality of cover ideals under some graph operations. Square-free monomial…

Our purpose is to study the family of simple undirected graphs whose toric ideal is a complete intersection from both an algorithmic and a combinatorial point of view. We obtain a polynomial time algorithm that, given a graph $G$, checks…

We study the ideal of the algebraic relations among 3-point functions from a combinatorial and topological perspective. We place this problem in the broader setting of incidence toric ideals associated with incidence matrices of t-subsets…

Gross and Popescu conjectured that the homogeneous ideal of an embedded $(1,d)$-polarized abelian surface is generated by quadrics and cubics for $d\geq 9$. We prove this using the projective normality of the embedding. It follows that the…

We prove that a monomial ideal $I$ generated in a single degree, is polymatroidal if and only if it has linear quotients with respect to the lexicographical ordering of the minimal generators induced by every ordering of variables. We also…

In this paper, it is proved that, if a toric ideal possesses a fundamental binomial none of whose monomials is squarefree, then the corresponding semigroup ring is not very ample. Moreover, very ample semigroup rings of Lawrence type are…

A minor is principal means it is defined by the same row and column indices. Let $X$ be a square generic matrix, $K[X]$ the polynomial ring in entries of $X$, over an algebraically closed field, $K$. For fixed $t\leq n$, let $\mathfrak P_t$…

Given any equigenerated monomial ideal $I$ with the property that the defining ideal $J$ of the fiber cone $ F(I)$ of $I$ is generated by quadratic binomials, we introduce a matrix such that the set of its binomial $2$-minors is a…

We define a new combinatorial object, which we call a labeled hypergraph, uniquely associated to any square-free monomial ideal. We prove several upper bounds on the regularity of a square-free monomial ideal in terms of simple…

Based on the structure theory of pairs of skew-symmetric matrices, we give a conjecture for the Hilbert series of the exterior algebra modulo the ideal generated by two generic quadratic forms. We show that the conjectured series is an…

In this paper, we unfold balanced and totally balanced neighborhood hypergraphs to discover new classes of normally torsion-free monomial ideals. As a consequence, we establish that the closed neighborhood ideals and the dominating ideals…

We give an explicit way of writing down a minimal set of generators for the canonical ideal of a non-degenerate curve, or of a more general smooth projective curve in a toric surface, in terms of its defining Laurent polynomial.

Let $R$ be a polynomial ring in $N$ variables over an arbitrary field $K$ and let $I$ be an ideal of $R$ generated by $n$ polynomials of degree at most 2. We show that there is a bound on the projective dimension of $R/I$ that depends only…

A signed graph is a pair $(G,\tau)$ of a graph $G$ and its sign $\tau$, where a \textit{sign} $\tau$ is a function from $\{ (e,v)\mid e\in E(G),v\in V(G), v\in e\}$ to $\{1,-1\}$. Note that graphs or digraphs are special cases of signed…

We investigate, using the notion of linear quotients, significative classes of connected graphs whose monomial edge ideals, not necessarily squarefree, have linear resolution, in order to compute standard algebraic invariants of the…

Let P = k[x_1, ..., x_n] be the polynomial ring in n variables. A homogeneous ideal I of P generated in degree d is called Gotzmann if it has the smallest possible Hilbert function out of all homogeneous ideals with the same dimension in…

We show that any two homogeneous affine semigroups can be glued by embedding them suitably in a higher dimensional space. As a consequence, we show that the sum of their homogeneous toric ideals is again a homogeneous toric ideal, and that…

In commutative ring theory, there is a theorem of Cohen which states that if in a commutative ring all prime ideals are finitely generated then every ideal is finitely generated. However, it is known that having only maximal ideals finitely…

Let $K$ be a field and $X$, $Y$ denote matrices such that, the entries of $X$ are either indeterminates over $K$ or $0$ and the entries of $Y$ are indeterminates over $K$ which are different from those appearing in $X$. We consider ideals…

Assume that $G$ is a graph with edge ideal $I(G)$. For every integer $s\geq 1$, we denote the squarefree part of the $s$-th symbolic power of $I(G)$ by $I(G)^{\{s\}}$. We determine an upper bound for the regularity of $I(G)^{\{s\}}$ when…
