We study the meet irreducible ideals in certain direct limit algebras, namely the strongly maximal triangular subalgebras of AF C*-algebras. These ideals have a description in terms of the coordinates, or spectrum, that is a natural…

In this thesis we are interested in studying algebraic properties of monomial algebras, that can be linked to combinatorial structures, such as graphs and clutters, and to optimization problems. A goal here is to establish bridges between…

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 maximal subalgebras of an arbitrary finite dimensional algebra over a field, and obtain full classification/description results of such algebras. This is done by first obtaining a complete classification in the semisimple case, and…

D. Rees and J. Sally defined the core of an $R$-ideal $I$ as the intersection of all $($minimal$)$ reductions of $I$. However, it is not easy to give an explicit characterization of it in terms of data attached to the ideal. Until recently,…

The supremum of reduction numbers of ideals having principal reductions is expressed in terms of the integral degree, a new invariant of the ring, which is finite provided the ring has finite integral closure. As a consequence, one obtains…

The long-root elements in Lie algebras of Chevalley type have been well studied and can be characterized as extremal elements, that is, elements $x$ such that the image of $(\ad x)^2$ lies in the subspace spanned by $x$. In this paper,…

We study the depth of classes of binomial edge ideals and classify all closed graphs whose binomial edge ideal is Cohen--Macaulay.

We determine the defining equations of the Rees algebra and of the special fiber ring of the ideal of maximal minors of a $2\times n$ sparse matrix. We prove that their initial algebras are ladder determinantal rings. This allows us to show…

We investigate when the Rees algebra of an integrally closed $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal in a regular local ring is a Cohen-Macaulay normal domain. While this property always holds in dimension two, it fails in general in higher…

We consider varieties generated by finite closure algebras whose canonical relations have two levels, and whose restriction to a level is an "extremal" relation, i.e. the identity or the universal relation. The corresponding logics have…

Let $k$ be a field. We determine the ideals $I$ in a finitely generated graded $k$-algebra $A$, whose associated graded rings are isomorphic to $A$. Also we compute the graded local cohomologies of the Rees rings $A[I t]$ and give the…

Let $I$ be a perfect ideal of height two in $R=k[x_1, \ldots, x_d]$ and let $\varphi$ denote its Hilbert-Burch matrix. When $\varphi$ has linear entries, the algebraic structure of the Rees algebra $\mathcal{R}(I)$ is well-understood under…

We apply some basic notions from combinatorial topology to establish various algebraic properties of edge ideals of graphs and more general Stanley-Reisner rings. In this way we provide new short proofs of some theorems from the literature…

In this paper we study the (Cohen-Macaulay) type of orders over Dedekind domains in \'etale algebras. We provide a bound for the type, and give formulas to compute it. We relate the type of the overorders of a given order to the size of…

In this paper, we consider a finite, torsion-free module $E$ over a Gorenstein local ring. We provide sufficient conditions for $E$ to be of linear type and for the Rees algebra $\mathcal{R}(E)$ of $E$ to be Cohen-Macaulay. Our results are…

The peak algebra is a unital subalgebra of the symmetric group algebra, linearly spanned by sums of permutations with a common set of peaks. By exploiting the combinatorics of sparse subsets of [n-1] (and of certain classes of compositions…

Schemes defined by residual intersections have been extensively studied in the case when they are Cohen-Macaulay, but this is a very restrictive condition. In this paper we make the first study of a class of natural examples far from…

We study Lie algebras generated by extremal elements (i.e., elements spanning inner ideals of L) over a field of characteristic distinct from 2. We prove that any Lie algebra generated by a finite number of extremal elements is finite…

Let $E$ be a module of projective dimension one over a Noetherian ring $R$ and consider its Rees algebra $\mathcal{R}(E)$. We study this ring as a quotient of the symmetric algebra $\mathcal{S}(E)$ and consider the ideal $\mathcal{A}$…
