Let $(R,\mathfrak{m},\Bbbk)$ be a regular local ring of dimension 3. Let $I$ be a Gorenstein ideal of $R$ of grade 3. It follows from a result of Buchsbaum and Eisenbud that there is a skew-symmetric matrix of odd size such that $I$ is…

The F-threshold $c^J(\a)$ of an ideal $\a$ with respect to the ideal $J$ is a positive characteristic invariant obtained by comparing the powers of $\a$ with the Frobenius powers of $J$. We show that under mild assumptions, we can detect…

Let $n, m\ge 2$. Let $\Gamma<\text{SO}^\circ(n+1,1)$ be a Zariski dense convex cocompact subgroup and $\Lambda\subset\mathbb{S}^n$ be its limit set. Let $\rho : \Gamma \to \text{SO}^\circ(m+1,1)$ be a Zariski dense convex cocompact faithful…

A commutative noetherian local ring $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ is Gorenstein if and only if every parameter ideal of $R$ is irreducible. Although irreducible parameter ideals may exist in non-Gorenstein rings, Marley, Rogers, and Sakurai show there…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an analytically unramified Cohen-Macaulay local ring and let $\mathfrak{a}$ be an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal in $A$. If $I$ is an ideal in $A$ then let $I^*$ be the integral closure of $I$ in $A$. Let…

We study some properties of a family of rings $R(I)_{a,b}$ that are obtained as quotients of the Rees algebra associated with a ring $R$ and an ideal $I$. In particular, we give a complete description of the spectrum of every member of the…

The recent paper "A quantitative Doignon-Bell-Scarf Theorem" by Aliev et al. generalizes the famous Doignon-Bell-Scarf Theorem on the existence of integer solutions to systems of linear inequalities. Their generalization examines the number…

Let C be a 2-connected Gorenstein curve either reduced or contained in a smooth algebraic surface and let S be a subcanonical cluster (i.e. a 0-dim scheme such that the space H^0(C, I_S K_C) contains a generically invertible section). Under…

Let $H=\langle n_1, \ldots ,n_4\rangle$ be a numerical semigroup generated by $4$ elements, which is symmetric and let $k[H]$ be the semigroup ring of $H$ over a field $k$. H. Bresinski proved that the defining ideal of $k[H]$ is minimally…

In this expository paper we survey results that relate Hilbert coefficients of an m-primary ideal I in a Cohen-Macaulay local ring (R, m) with depth of the associated graded ring G(I). Several results in this area follow from two theorems…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring of dimension $d\geq 3$ and $I$ an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal of $R$. Let $r_J(I)$ be the reduction number of $I$ with respect to a minimal reduction $J$ of $I$. Suppose depth $G(I)\geq…

We focus on the structure of a homogeneous Gorenstein ideal $I$ of codimension three in a standard polynomial ring $R=\kk[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ over a field $\kk$, assuming that $I$ is generated in a fixed degree $d$. For such an ideal $I$ this…

G\"odel's second incompleteness theorem is proved for Herbrand consistency of some arithmetical theories with bounded induction, by using a technique of logarithmic shrinking the witnesses of bounded formulas, due to Z. Adamowicz [Herbrand…

Let $(R, \mathfrak m)$ denote an $n$-dimensional Gorenstein ring. For an ideal $I \subset R$ of height $c$ we are interested in the endomorphism ring $B = \Hom_R(H^c_I(R), H^c_I(R)).$ It turns out that $B$ is a commutative ring. In the case…

The containment problem for symbolic and ordinary powers of ideals asks for what values of $a$ and $b$ we have $I^{(a)} \subseteq I^b$. Over a regular ring, a result by Ein-Lazarsfeld-Smith, Hochster-Huneke, and Ma-Schwede partially answers…

The aim of this paper is to elucidate the relationship between the Gorenstein Rees algebra $\R(I):=\bigoplus_{i\ge 0}I^i$ of an ideal $I$ in a complete Noetherian local ring $A$ and the graded canonical module of the extended Rees algebra…

Fix a codimension $r$ and a socle-vector $s$. Is there an (entry by entry) maximal $h$-vector $h$ among the $h$-vectors of all the (standard graded artinian) algebras having data $(r,s)$? Extending a definition of Iarrobino, if such an $h$…

This paper studies the jumping coefficients of principal ideals of regular local rings. Recently M. Blickle, M. Mustata and K. Smith showed that, when $R$ is of essentially finite type over a field and $F$-finite, bounded intervals contain…

Let $J\subset I$ be ideals in a formally equidimensional local ring with $\lambda(I/J)<\infty.$ Rees proved that for all $n\gg0$, $\lambda(I^n/J^n)$ is a polynomial $P(I/J)(X)$ in $n$ of degree at most dim $R$ and $J$ is a reduction of $I$…

Criteria are given in terms of certain Hilbert coefficients for the fiber cone F(I) of an m-primary ideal I in a Cohen-Macaulay local ring (R,m) so that it is Cohen-Macaulay or has depth at least dim(R)-1. A version of Huneke's fundamental…
