Expanding on the work of Fouli and Vassilev \cite{FV}, we determine a formula for the *-$\rm{core}$ of an ideal in two different settings: (1) in a Cohen--Macaulay local ring of characteristic $p>0$, perfect residue field and test ideal of…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $\mathfrak a$ a proper ideal of $R$ and $N$ a non-zero finitely generated $R$-module with $N\neq \mathfrak a N$. Let $d$ (respectively $c$) be the smallest (respectively greatest) non-negative…

In this paper, we say a ring $R$ is Nil$_{\ast}$-Noetherian provided that any nil ideal is finitely generated. First, we show that the Hilbert basis theorem holds for Nil$_{\ast}$-Noetherian rings, that is, $R$ is Nil$_{\ast}$-Noetherian if…

Results are presented concerning the following question: If M is a finitely-generated module with finite local cohomologies over a Noetherian local ring (A, m), does there exist an integer n such that every parameter ideal for M contained…

A result of Monsky states that the Hilbert-Kunz function of a one-dimensional local ring of prime characteristic has a term $\phi$ that is eventually periodic. For example, in the case of a power series ring in one variable over a…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Noetherian local ring of prime characteristic $p$ and $Q$ be an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary parameter ideal. We give criteria for F-rationality of $R$ using the tight Hilbert function $H^*_Q(n)=\ell(R/(Q^n)^*$ and the…

In this article, standard bases of some toric ideals associated to 4-generated pseudo symmetric semigroups with not Cohen-Macaulay tangent cones at the origin are computed. As the tangent cones are not Cohen-Macaulay, non-decreasingness of…

By finding a p-adic obstruction, we construct many examples of positive characteristic complete noetherian local rings which do not admit any module-finite Cohen-Macaulay extension. These examples should be contrasted with a result of…

In analogy with the classical, affine toric rings, we define a local toric ring as the quotient of a regular local ring modulo an ideal generated by binomials in a regular system of parameters with unit coefficients; if the coefficients are…

We give an elementary proof prove of the preservation of the Noetherian condition for commutative rings with unity $R$ having at least one finitely generated ideal $I$ such that the quotient ring is again finitely generated, and $R$ is…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring of dimension $d \geq 2$ with infinite residue field and let $I$ be an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal. For $0 \leq i \leq d$ let $I_i$ be the $i^{th}$-coefficient ideal of $I$. Also let…

We explore the classical Lech's inequality relating the Hilbert--Samuel multiplicity and colength of an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal in a Noetherian local ring $(R,\mathfrak{m})$. We prove optimal versions of Lech's inequality for…

We study Hilbert functions of maximal Cohen-Macaulay(=CM) modules over CM local rings. We show that if $A$ is a hypersurface ring with dimension $d > 0$ then the Hilbert function of $M$ \wrt $\m$ is non-decreasing. If $A = Q/(f)$ for some…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Noetherian local ring, $M$ a finite $A$-module and $x_1,...,x_n\in \m$ such that $\lambda (M/\x M)$ is finite. Serre proved that all partial Euler characteristics of $M$ with respect to $\x$ is non-negative. This…

We give a counterexample to the long standing conjecture that the ball maximises the first eigenvalue of the Robin eigenvalue problem with negative parameter among domains of the same volume. Furthermore, we show that the conjecture holds…

We introduce a new class of commutative {non-noetherian} rings, called $n$-subperfect rings, generalizing the almost perfect rings that have been studied recently by Fuchs-Salce. For an integer $n \ge 0$, the ring $R$ is $n$-subperfect if…

Let $a,b$ be positive integers. In this note, we study the numerical semigroup $H=\left<a,a+1,b\right>$ and and the associated numerical semigroup ring $R=k[[H]]$. Under the certain conditions, we provide explicit formulas for the Frobenius…

Let $(A,\mathfrak m)$ be a Noetherian local ring of dimension $d>0$ with infinite residue field and $I$ an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal. Let $\mathcal I$ be an $I$-good filtration. We study an equality of Hilbert coefficients, first given…

We prove that an integral Jacobson radical ring is always nil, which extends a well known result from algebras over fields to rings. As a consequence we show that if every element x of a ring R is a zero of some polynomial p_x with integer…

In this paper we study Cohen-Macaulay local rings of dimension $d$, multiplicity $e$ and second Hilbert coefficient $e_2$ in the case $e_2 = e_1 - e + 1$. Let $h = \mu(\mathfrak{m}) - d$. If $e_2 \neq 0$ then in our case we can prove that…
