We consider a finite dimensional representation of the dihedral group $D_{2p}$ over a field of characteristic two where $p$ is an odd prime and study the corresponding Hilbert ideal $I_H$. We show that $I_H$ has a universal Gr\" {o}bner…

A symmetric ideal is an ideal in a polynomial ring which is stable under all permutations of the variables. In this paper we initiate a global study of zero-dimensional symmetric ideals. By this we mean a geometric study of the invariant…

Consider a component of the Hilbert scheme whose general point corresponds to a degree d genus g smooth irreducible and nondegenerate curve in a projective variety X. We give lower bounds for the dimension of such a component when X is P^3,…

A procedure for constructing bivariant theories by means of Grothendieck duality is developed. This produces, in particular, a bivariant theory of Hochschild (co)homology on the category of schemes that are flat, separated and essentially…

Hilbert's Nullstellensatz characterizes polynomials that vanish on the vanishing set of an ideal in C[x]. In the free algebra C<X> the vanishing set of a two-sided ideal I is defined in a dimension-free way using images in…

Using vanishing of graded components of local cohomology modules of the Rees algebra of the normal filtration of an ideal, we give bounds on the normal reduction number. This helps to get necessary and sufficient conditions in…

A strong version of the quantization conjecture of Guillemin and Sternberg is proved. For a reductive group action on a smooth, compact, polarized variety (X,L), the cohomologies of L over the GIT quotient X // G equal the invariant part of…

Consider a finite dimensional real vector space and a finite group acting unitarily on it. We study the general problem of constructing Euclidean stable embeddings of the quotient space of orbits. Our embedding is based on subsets of sorted…

We study the geometry of equivariant, proper maps from homogeneous bundles $G\times_P V$ over flag varieties $G/P$ to representations of $G$, called collapsing maps. Kempf showed that, provided the bundle is completely reducible, the image…

We introduce positive Gorenstein ideals. These are Gorenstein ideals in the graded ring $\RR[x]$ with socle in degree 2d, which when viewed as a linear functional on $\RR[x]_{2d}$ is nonnegative on squares. Equivalently, positive Gorenstein…
