This paper investigates the symbolic powers of toric ideals. We first describe them in terms of the kernel of certain linear maps derived from the lattice structure of the toric ideal. Furthermore, we apply our results to show that symbolic…

This article investigates under which conditions the symbolic powers of the extension of an ideal is the same as the extension of the symbolic powers. Our result generalizes the known scenarios. As an application, we prove formulas for the…

Let $S$ be a regular local ring or a polynomial ring over a field and $I$ be an ideal of $S$. Motivated by a recent result of Herzog and Huneke, we study the natural question of whether $I^m$ is a Golod ideal for all $m\geq 2$. We observe…

Let (R,m) be an n-dimensional regular local ring, essentially of finite type over a field of characteristic zero. In this paper we study the relationship between the singularities of the scheme defined by an m-primary ideal I of R and the…

We compute the regularity of powers and symbolic powers of edge ideals of all cubic circulant graphs. In particular, we establish Conjecture of Minh for cubic circulant graphs.

Let $D$ be a weighted oriented graph and $I(D)$ be its edge ideal. If $D$ contains an induced odd cycle of length $2n+1$, under certain condition we show that $ {I(D)}^{(n+1)} \neq {I(D)}^{n+1}$. We give necessary and sufficient condition…

Let $I\subset S$ be a graded ideal of a standard graded polynomial ring $S$ with coefficients in a field $K$, and let $\text{v}(I)$ be the $\text{v}$-number of $I$. In previous work, we showed that for any graded ideal $I\subset S$…

Let $(R,\mathfrak m)$ be an analytically unramified local ring of positive prime characteristic $p.$ For an ideal $I$, let $I^*$ denote its tight closure. We introduce the tight Hilbert function $H^*_I(n)=\ell(R/(I^n)^*)$ and the…

For the edge ideal $I(\D)$ of a weighted oriented graph $\D$, we prove that its symbolic powers $I(\D)^{(t)}$ are Cohen-Macaulay for all $t\geqslant 1$ if and only if the underlying graph $G$ is composed of a disjoint union of some complete…

In this paper we consider the problem of determining the Hilbert function of schemes X of the proiective space P^n which are the generic union of s lines and one m-multiple point. We completely solve this problem for any s and m when n > 3.…

We introduce the concept of matching powers of monomial ideals. Let $I$ be a monomial ideal of $S=K[x_1,\dots,x_n]$, with $K$ a field. The $k$th matching power of $I$ is the monomial ideal $I^{[k]}$ generated by the products $u_1\cdots u_k$…

Let $I$ be a homogeneous ideal in a polynomial ring over a field. Let $I^{(n)}$ be the $n$-th symbolic power of $I$. Motivated by results about ordinary powers of $I$, we study the asymptotic behavior of the regularity function $\text{reg}~…

Let X\subset PP^n be a projective scheme over a field, and let phi:X --> Y be a finite morphism. Our main result is a formula in terms of global data for the maximum of the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the fibers of \phi, considered as…

In this paper, we compare the regularities of symbolic and ordinary powers of edge ideals of weighted oriented graphs. For any weighted oriented complete graph $K_n$, we show that $\reg(I(K_n)^{(k)})\leq \reg(I(K_n)^k)$ for all $k\geq 1$.…

We enrich the classical count that there are two complex lines meeting four lines in space to an equality of isomorphism classes of bilinear forms. For any field $k$, this enrichment counts the number of lines meeting four lines defined…

Symbolic powers are a classical commutative algebra topic that relates to primary decomposition, consisting, in some circumstances, of the functions that vanish up to a certain order on a given variety. However, these are notoriously…

For arbitrary positive integers $q_1 \ge q_2 \ge q_3 \ge \cdots$ we construct a family of monomial ideals such that for each positive integer $e$ and for each ideal $I$ in the family, the number of associated primes of $I^e$ is the $q_e$.…

We study the regularity of symbolic powers of square-free monomial ideals. We prove that if $I = I_\Delta$ is the Stanley-Reisner ideal of a simplicial complex $\Delta$, then $\reg(I^{(n)}) \leqslant \delta(n-1) +b$ for all $n\geqslant 1$,…

Let $S=\mathbb{K}[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over a field $\mathbb{K}$ and $\mathfrak{m}= (x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ be the irredundant maximal ideal of $S$. For an ideal $I \subset S$, let $\mathrm{sat}(I)$ be the minimum number $k$…

A current research theme is to compare symbolic powers of an ideal $I$ with the regular powers of $I$. In this paper, we focus on the case that $I=I_X$ is an ideal defining an almost complete intersection (ACI) sets of points $X$ in…
