Let $G$ be a simple graph on $n$ vertices and $J_G$ denote the binomial edge ideal of $G$ in the polynomial ring $S = \mathbb{K}[x_1, \ldots, x_n, y_1, \ldots, y_n].$ In this article, we compute the second graded Betti numbers of $J_G$, and…

In this dissertation, we tackle the problem of describing the equations of the Rees algebra of I for I =(J,y), with J being of linear type. Throughout, such ideals are referred to as ideals of almost-linear type. In Theorem A, we give a…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and ${\rm Nil}(R)$ be the set of nilpotent elements of $R$. The nil-graph of ideals of $R$ is defined as the graph $\mathbb{AG}_N(R)$ whose vertex set is $\{I:\ (0)\neq I\lhd R$ and there exists a…

Consider ideals $I$ of the form \[ I=(x_1^2,\dots, x_n^2)+\mathrm{RLex}(x_ix_j) \] where $\mathrm{RLex}(x_ix_j)$ is the ideal generated by all the square-free monomials which are greater than or equal to $x_ix_j$ in the reverse…

We study the licci property for several classes of squarefree monomial ideals arising from graphs and related combinatorial structures. We characterize licci bi-Cohen-Macaulay squarefree monomial ideals, complementary edge ideals, $t$-path…

A new approach is established to computing the image of a rational map, whereby the use of approximation complexes is complemented with a detailed analysis of the torsion of the symmetric algebra in certain degrees. In the case the map is…

Let $A$ be a commutative noetherian ring and $I$ an ideal in $A$. We characterize algebraically when all the minimal primes of the associated graded ring $G_I A$ contract to minimal primes of $A/I$. This, applied to intersection theory,…

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…

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

There is a natural epimorphism from the symmetric algebra to the Rees algebra of an ideal. When this epimorphism is an isomorphism, we say that the ideal is of linear type. Given two determinantal rings over a field, we consider the…

We show that for a vertex decomposable simplicial complex $\Delta$, the Rees algebra of $I_{\Delta^{\vee}}$ is a normal Cohen-Macaulay domain. As consequences, we show that any squarefree weakly polymatroidal ideal is normal and we obtain…

The edges of any hypergraph parametrize a monomial algebra called the edge subring of the hypergraph. We study presentation ideals of these edge subrings, and describe their generators in terms of balanced walks on hypergraphs. Our results…

We deal with classes of prime ideals whose associated graded ring is isomorphic to the Rees algebra of the conormal module in order to describe the divisor class group of the Rees algebra and to examine the normality of the conormal module.

We study the defining equations of the Rees algebra of ideals arising from curve parametrizations in the plane and in rational normal scrolls, inspired by the work of Madsen and Kustin, Polini and Ulrich. The curves are related by work of…

Paolo Aluffi, inspired by an algebro-geometric problem, asked when the Kirchhoff polynomial of a graph is in the Jacobian ideal of the Kirchhoff polynomial of the same graph with one edge deleted. We give some results on which graph-edge…

In this paper we investigate a family of algebras endowed with a suitable non-degenerate bilinear form that can be used to define two different notions of dual for a given right ideal. We apply our results to the classification of the right…

In a 2008 paper, the first author and Van Tuyl proved that the regularity of the edge ideal of a graph G is at most one greater than the matching number of G. In this note, we provide a generalization of this result to any square-free…

We study monomial cut ideals associated to a graph $G$, which are a monomial analogue of toric cut ideals as introduced by Sturmfels and Sullivant. Primary decompositions, projective dimensions, and Castelnuovo-Mumford regularities are…

An ideal I in a Noetherian ring R is normally torsion-free if Ass(R/I^t)=Ass(R/I) for all natural numbers t. We develop a technique to inductively study normally torsion-free square-free monomial ideals. In particular, we show that if a…

As a generalisation of Graham and Lehrer's cellular algebras, affine cellular algebras have been introduced in [12] in order to treat affine versions of diagram algebras like affine Hecke algebras of type A and affine Temperley-Lieb…
