It is proved that for a ring $R$ that is either an affine algebra over a field, or an equicharacteristic complete local ring, some power of the Jacobian ideal of $R$ annihilates $\mathrm{Ext}^{d+1}_{R}(-,-)$, where $d$ is the Krull…

Any knot diagram can be transformed into the unknot by a series of unknotting operations. This paper introduces the diagonal move, a novel unknotting operation that generalizes and unifies several existing moves. We prove that the diagonal…

It is known that the fundamental group homomorphism $\pi_1(T^2) \to \pi_1(S^3\setminus K)$ induced by the inclusion of the boundary torus into the complement of a knot $K$ in $S^3$ is a complete knot invariant. Many classical invariants of…

In this paper we consider reduced (non-normal) commutative noetherian rings $R$. With the help of conductor ideals and trace ideals of certain $R$-modules we deduce a criterion for a reflexive $R$-module to be closed under multiplication…

In this paper, we investigate the notions of almost Noetherian rings and modules. In details, we give the Cohen type theorem, Eakin-Nagata type theorem, Kaplansky type Theorem and Hilbert basis theorem and some other rings constructions for…

We investigate Rees algebras and special fiber rings obtained by blowing up specialized Ferrers ideals. This class of monomial ideals includes strongly stable monomial ideals generated in degree two and edge ideals of prominent classes of…

Each (equigenerated) squarefree monomial ideal in the polynomial ring $S=\mathbb{K}[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ represents a family of subsets of $[n]$, called a (uniform) clutter. In this paper, we introduce a class of uniform clutters, called…

Artinian integrally closed monomial ideals are characterized by their Newton polyhedra, which are lattice polyhedra inside the positive orthant having the positive orthant as their recession cone. Multiplication of such ideals correspond to…

Let $R$ be a ring with $1$ and $\J(R)$ its Jacobson radical. Then $1+\J(R)$ is a normal subgroup of the group of units, $G(R)$. The existence of a complement to this subgroup was explored in a paper by Coleman and Easdown; in particular the…

We classify the convex polytopes whose symmetry groups have two orbits on the flags. These exist only in two or three dimensions, and the only ones whose combinatorial automorphism group is also two-orbit are the cuboctahedron, the…

The operation of (untwisted) Whitehead doubling trivializes the Alexander module of a knot (and consequently, all known abelian invariants), and converts knots to topologically slice ones. In this note we show that Whitehead doubling does…

The main objective of this paper is to show that the complement of a rational convex set in $\mathbb{C}^n$ is (n-2)-connected for n>2.

In this paper we examine the commutativity of ideal extensions. We introduce methods of constructing such extensions, in particular we construct a noncommutative ring T which contains a central and idempotent ideal I such that T/I is a…

We show that for a hyperbolic knot complement, all but at most 12 Dehn fillings are irreducible with infinite word-hyperbolic fundamental group.

In some recent papers the classical `splitting necklace theorem' is linked in an interesting way with a geometric `pattern avoidance problem'. We explore the topological constraints on the existence of a (relaxed) measurable coloring of R^d…

We generalize a theorem of Finkelstein and Moriah and show that if a link $L$ has a $2n$-plat projection satisfying certain conditions, then its complement contains some closed essential surfaces. In most cases these surfaces remain…

This thesis consists of three self-contained chapters. The first two concern quantum invariants of links and three manifolds and the third contains results on the word problem for link groups. In chapter 1 we relate the tree part of the…

We show that almost perfect complexes of commutative ring spectra satisfy excision and $v$-descent. These results generalize Milnor excision for perfect complexes of ordinary commutative rings and $v$-descent for almost perfect complexes of…

In this paper, using the canonical correspondence between the idempotents and clopens, we obtain several new results on lifting idempotents. The Zariski clopens of the maximal spectrum are precisely determined, then as an application,…

A polyhedron $\textbf{P} \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ has Rupert's property if a hole can be cut into it, such that a copy of $\textbf{P}$ can pass through this hole. There are several works investigating this property for some specific polyhedra:…
