Assume that $K$ is a field and $I_{1}\subsetneq ...\subsetneq I_{t}$ is an ascending chain (of length $t$) of ideals in the polynomial ring $K[x_{1},,...,x_{m}]$, for some $m\geq 1$. Suppose that $I_{j}$ is generated by polynomials of…

It has been well known since Gauss that the principality of an ideal in a real quadratic field $K$ is equivalent to the solvability of a certain generalized Pell equations. In this paper, we combine this classical result with Srinivasan's…

An ideal $I \subset \mathbb{k}[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ is said to have linear powers if $I^k$ has a linear minimal free resolution, for all $k$. In this paper we study the Betti numbers of $I^k$, for ideals $I$ with linear powers. The Betti…

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field different from $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-1})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$. For a nontrivial integral ideal $\mathfrak{m}$ of $K$, let $K_\mathfrak{m}$ be the ray class field modulo $\mathfrak{m}$. By using…

Suppose $A=k[X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_n]$ is a polynomial ring over a field $k$ and $I$ is an ideal in $A$. Then M. P. Murthy conjectured that $\mu(I)=\mu(I/I^2)$, where $\mu$ denotes the minimal number of generators. Recently, Fasel \cite{F}…

Let $J\subsetneq I$ be two ideals of a polynomial ring $S$ over a field, generated by square free monomials. We show that some inequalities among the numbers of square free monomials of $I\setminus J$ of different degrees give upper bounds…

Powers of (monomial) ideals is a subject that still calls attraction in various ways. Let $I\subset \mathbb K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be a monomial ideal and let $G(I)$ denote the (unique) minimal monomial generating set of $I$. How small can…

Let $I$ be a square-free monomial ideal in a polynomial ring $R=K[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$ over a field $K$, $\mathfrak{m}=(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ be the graded maximal ideal of $R$, and $\{u_1, \ldots, u_{\beta_1(I)}\}$ be a maximal independent set…

We establish a criterion for a complex number to be algebraic over Q of degree at most two. It requires that, for any sufficiently large real number X, there exists a non-zero polynomial with integral coefficients, of degree at most two and…

Let $K=\mathbb{Q}(\omega)$ with $\omega$ the root of a degree $n$ monic irreducible polynomial $f\in\mathbb{Z}[X]$. We show the degree $n$ polynomial $N(\sum_{i=1}^{n-k}x_i\omega^{i-1})$ in $n-k$ variables formed by setting the final $k$…

Let $S$ be a polynomial ring over any field $\Bbbk$, and let $P \subseteq S$ be a non-degenerate homogeneous prime ideal of height $h$. When $\Bbbk$ is algebraically closed, a classical result attributed to Castelnuovo establishes an upper…

Let $I$ be a monomial squarefree ideal of a polynomial ring $S$ over a field $K$ such that the sum of every three different of its minimal prime ideals is the maximal ideal of $S$, or more general a constant ideal. We associate to $I$ a…

It is shown that every Leavitt path algebra L of an arbitrary directed graph E over a field K is an arithmetical ring, that is, the two-sided ideals of L form a distributive lattice. It is also shown that L is a multiplication ring, that…

The ring R of real-exponent polynomials in n variables over any field has global dimension n+1 and flat dimension n. In particular, the residue field k = R/m of R modulo its maximal graded ideal m has flat dimension n via a Koszul-like…

Consider the projective coordinate ring of the GIT quotient (P^1)^n//SL(2), with the usual linearization, where n is even. In 1894, Kempe proved that this ring is generated in degree one. In [HMSV2] we showed that, over the rationals, the…

It is shown that up to dimension four, the toric ideal of a quiver polytope is generated in degree two, with the only exception of the four-dimensional Birkhoff polytope. As a consequence, B{\o}gvad's conjecture holds for quiver polytopes…

For a commutative ring R we investigate the property that the sets of minimal primes of finitely generated ideals of R is always finite. We prove this property passes to polynomial ring extensions (in an arbitrary number of variables) over…

Let F:K be a Galois extension of number fields and Q a prime ideal of O_F lying over the prime P of O_K. By analyzing the Q-adic closure of O_K in O_F we characterize those rings of integers O_K for which every residue class ring of…

Let K denote an algebraically closed field. We study the relation between an ideal I in K[x1,...,xn] and its cross sections I_a=I+<x1-a>. In particular, we study under what conditions I can be recovered from the set I_S={(a,I_a):a in S}…

Let $K$ be an infinite field and let $I = (f_1,\cdots,f_r)$ be an ideal in the polynomial ring $R = K[x_1,\cdots,x_n]$ generated by generic forms of degrees $d_1,\cdots,d_r$. A longstanding conjecture by Fr\"{o}berg predicts the shape of…
