The degree sequence of the algebraic numbers in an algebraic linear recurrence sequence is shown to be virtually periodic. This is proved using the Skolem-Mahler-Lech theorem. It has applications to the degree sequence and the minimal…

The joint spectral radius of a bounded set of $d \times d$ real matrices is defined to be the maximum possible exponential growth rate of products of matrices drawn from that set. For a fixed set of matrices, a sequence of matrices drawn…

Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring, I and J ideals of R and M a finitely generated R-module. Let F be a covariant R-linear functor from the category of finitely generated R-modules to itself. We first show that if F is coherent, then…

For a large prime $p$, a rational function $\psi \in F_p(X)$ over the finite field $F_p$ of $p$ elements, and integers $u$ and $H\ge 1$, we obtain a lower bound on the number consecutive values $\psi(x)$, $x = u+1, \ldots, u+H$ that belong…

In this paper, we introduce initially Cohen-Macaulay modules over a commutative Noetherian local ring $R$, a new class of $R$-modules that generalizes both Cohen-Macaulay and sequentially Cohen-Macaulay modules. A finitely generated…

Consider a finite group $G$ acting on a graded Noetherian $k$-algebra $S$, for some field $k$ of characteristic $p$; for example $S$ might be a polynomial ring. Regard $S$ as a $kG$-module and consider the multiplicity of a particular…

Smith and Van den Bergh introduced the notion of finite F-representation type as a characteristic $p$ analogue of the notion of finite representation type. In this paper, we prove two finiteness properties of rings with finite…

Let R be a commutative, noetherian, local ring. Topological Q-vector spaces modelled on full subcategories of the derived category of R are constructed in order to study intersection multiplicities.

This paper is concerned with lifting modules along a surjective map of noetherian local rings, say $\varphi \colon R \twoheadrightarrow S$. A finitely generated $R$-module $L$ is a naive lift of an $S$-module $M$ if $L \otimes_R S \cong M$.…

Let $\mathfrak{a}$ be an ideal of a commutative noetherian (not necessarily local) ring $R$. In the case $\cd(\mathfrak{a},R)\leq 1$, we show that the subcategory of $\mathfrak{a}$-cofinite $R$-modules is abelian. Using this and the…

We construct a long exact sequence involving the homology of an FI-module. Using the long exact sequence, we give two methods to bound the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of an FI-module which is generated and related in finite degree. We…

Given a commutative Noetherian local ring $R$, the linearity defect of a finitely generated $R$-module $M$, denoted $\ld_R(M)$, is an invariant that measures how far $M$ and its syzygies are from having a linear resolution. Motivated by a…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. The small finitistic dimension $\fPD(R)$ of $R$ is defined to be the supremum of projective dimensions of $R$-modules with finite projective resolutions. In this paper, we characterize a ring $R$…

A classification of multiplication modules over multiplication rings with finitely many minimal primes is obtained. A characterisation of multiplication rings with finitely many minimal primes is given via faithful, Noetherian, distributive…

Let $(R, {\mathfrak m})$ be a Noetherian local ring and let $I$ be an ${\mathfrak m}$-primary ideal. In this paper we give sharp bounds on the multiplicity of the special fiber ring ${\mathcal F}$ of $I$ in terms of other well-known…

We establish bounds on the local degrees of FI-modules (in the sense of Church-Miller-Nagpal-Reinhold [CMNR18]) through a spectral sequence which only depend on the initial page and is independent from how many pages have been flipped.

We obtain various characterizations of commutative Noetherian local rings $(R, \fm)$ in terms of homological dimensions of certain finitely generated modules. For example, we establish that $R$ is Gorenstein if the Gorenstein injective…

Let $M$ be a finitely generated module of dimention d over a Noetherian local ring (A,m) and I an m-primary ideal. Let be a pair of good I-filtrations F and F' of M. We show that the Hilbert coefficients e_i(F) are bounded below and above…

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…

Let $K$ be a field, $R$ a standard graded $K$-algebra and $M$ be a finitely generated graded $R$-module. The rate of $M$, $rate_R(M)$, is a measure of the growth of the shifts in the minimal graded free resolution of $M$. In this paper, we…
