We investigate decompositions of Betti diagrams over a polynomial ring within the framework of Boij--Soederberg theory. That is, given a Betti diagram, we decompose it into pure diagrams. Relaxing the requirement that the degree sequences…

Using the connections among almost complete intersection schemes, arithmetically Gorenstein schemes and schemes that are union of complete intersections we give a structure theorem for arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay union of two complete…

We study the Hilbert function and the graded Betti numbers of almost complete intersection artinian algebras. We show that that every Hilbert function of a complete intersection artinian algebra is the Hilbert function of an almost complete…

This work concerns surjective maps $\varphi\colon R\to S$ of commutative noetherian local rings with kernel generated by a regular sequence that is part of a minimal generating set for the maximal ideal of $R$. The main result provides…

Nearly complete intersection ideals were introduced by A. Boocher and J. Seiner (2018) and defines a special class of monomial ideals in a polynomial ring. These ideals were used to give a lower bound of the total sum of betti numbers that…

We study properties of the resolution of almost Gorenstein artinian algebras $R/I,$ i.e. algebras defined by ideals $I$ such that $I=J+(f),$ with $J$ Gorenstein ideal and $f\in R.$ Such algebras generalize the well known almost complete…

A closed subscheme of codimension two $T \subset P^2$ is a quasi complete intersection (q.c.i.) of type $(a,b,c)$ if there exists a surjective morphism $\mathcal{O} (-a) \oplus \mathcal{O} (-b) \oplus \mathcal{O} (-c) \to \mathcal{I} _T$.…

We prove that every local complete intersection curve in $Spec(A)$, where $A$ is a commutative Noetherian ring of dimension three, is a set-theoretic complete intersection. An analogous result is established for local complete intersection…

The arithmetic rank of an ideal in a polynomial ring over an algebraically closed field is the smallest number of equations needed to define its vanishing locus set-theoretically. We determine the arithmetic rank of the generic $m$-residual…

An almost complete intersection ideal can be seen as a $d$-sequence ideal with the minimal number of generators being one more than its height. In this paper, we give exact formulas for the regularity of powers of graded almost complete…

Let $R=K[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$ be the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ and let $I$ be a monomial ideal of $R$. In this paper, we present an explicit formula for the Betti numbers of almost complete intersection monomial ideals,…

Let C \in P2 be a reduced, singular curve of degree d and equation f = 0. Let \Sigma denote the jacobian subscheme of C. We have 0 -> E -> 3.O -> I_\Sigma(d-1) -> 0 (the surjection is given by the partials of f). We study the relationships…

We study the topological complexity of sets defined using Khovanskii's Pfaffian functions, in terms of an appropriate notion of format for those sets. We consider semi- and sub-Pfaffian sets, but more generally any definable set in the…

A half-tree is an edge configuration whose superimposition with a perfect matching is a tree. In this paper, we prove a half-tree theorem for the Pfaffian principal minors of a skew-symmetric matrix whose column sum is zero; introducing an…

Let $(S, \mathfrak n) $ be a regular local ring and let $I \subseteq \mathfrak n^2 $ be a perfect ideal of $S. $ Sharp upper bounds on the minimal number of generators of $I$ are known in terms of the Hilbert function of $R=S/I. $ Starting…

Recently, nearly complete intersection ideals were defined by Boocher and Seiner to establish lower bounds on Betti numbers for monomial ideals (arXiv:1706.09866). Stone and Miller then characterized nearly complete intersections using the…

This paper studies the multiplicative ideal structure of commutative rings in which every finitely generated ideal is quasi-projective. Section 2 provides some preliminaries on quasi-projective modules over commutative rings. Section 3…

We show that if a finite point set $P\subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$ has the fewest congruence classes of triangles possible, up to a constant $M$, then at least one of the following holds. (1) There is a $\sigma>0$ and a line $l$ which contains…

The main achievement of this paper is to provide a structure theorem for Artinian, Gorenstein local rings with the property that the square of the maximal ideal is generated by two elements. The moduli problem for this class of local…
