For a polynomial ring S in n variables, we consider the natural action of the symmetric group S_n on S by permuting the variables. For an S_n-invariant monomial ideal I in S and j >= 0, we give an explicit recipe for computing the modules…

Primary decomposition of commutative monoid congruences is insensitive to certain features of primary decomposition in commutative rings. These features are captured by the more refined theory of mesoprimary decomposition of congruences,…

Let $\Gamma$ be a $d$-flag sortable simplicial complex. We consider the toric ring $R_{\Gamma}=K[{\bf x}_Ft:F\in \Gamma]$ and the Rees algebra of the facet ideals $I(\Gamma^{[i]})$ of pure skeletons of $\Gamma$. We show that these algebras…

We introduce differential primary decompositions for ideals in a commutative ring. Ideal membership is characterized by differential conditions. The minimal number of conditions needed is the arithmetic multiplicity. Minimal differential…

Given a seminormal affine monoid M we consider several monoid properties of M and their connections to ring properties of the associated affine monoid ring K[M] over a field K. We characterize when K[M] satisfies Serre's condition (S_2) and…

Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity is a measure of algebraic complexity of an ideal. Regularity of monomial ideals can be investigated combinatorially. We use a simple graph decomposition and results from structural graph theory to prove,…

Given a numerical semigroup ring $R=k[\![S]\!]$, an ideal $E$ of $S$ and an odd element $b \in S$, the numerical duplication $S \! \Join^b \! E$ is a numerical semigroup, whose associated ring $k[\![S \! \Join^b \! E]\!]$ shares many…

The paper presents two algorithms for finding irreducible decomposition of monomial ideals. The first one is recursive, derived from staircase structures of monomial ideals. This algorithm has a good performance for highly non-generic…

Let $S = K[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ denote the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ with each $\deg x_i = 1$ and $I \subset S$ a homogeneous ideal of $S$ with $\dim S/I = d$. The Hilbert series of $S/I$ is of the form…

A. Vistoli proved a decomposition theorem for the rational equivariant algebraic K-theory of a variety under the action of a finite group $G$. We generalize his result to more general algebraic (co)homology theories having the Mackey…

We study monomial ideals using the operation polarization to first turn them into square-free monomial ideals. We focus on monomial ideals whose polarization produce simplicial trees, and show that many of the properties of simplicial trees…
