Let $I_1,\dots,I_n$ be ideals generated by linear forms in a polynomial ring over an infinite field and let $J = I_1 \cdots I_n$. We describe a minimal free resolution of $J$ and show that it is supported on a polymatroid obtained from the…

Let $(R, \mathfrak m)$ be a commutative noetherian local ring and $I$ an ideal of $R$. For every $R$-module $M$, $\gamma_I(M) = \sum\{ \operatorname{Bi} f \,|\, f \in \operatorname{Hom}_R(I,M)\}$ is called the trace of $I$ in $M$. It is…

The number of equations needed to cut out a variety given by an ideal is called the arithmetic rank (of the ideal). It was shown in [8] that the notion of arithmetic rank is strongly related to the concept of regular sequences on the Matlis…

In a local Cohen-Macaulay ring $(A, \mathrm{m})$, we study the Hilbert function of an $\mathrm{m}$-primary ideal $I$ whose reduction number is two. It is a continuous work of the papers of Huneke, Ooishi, Sally, and Goto-Nishida-Ozeki. With…

The homological property of the associated graded ring of an ideal is an important problem in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. In this paper we explore the almost Cohen-Macaulayness of the associated graded ring of stretched…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with an identity different from zero and $n$ be a positive integer. Anderson and Badawi, in their paper on $n$-absorbing ideals, define a proper ideal $I$ of a commutative ring $R$ to be an $n$-absorbing ideal…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with nonzero identity, and $\delta :\mathcal{I(R)}\rightarrow\mathcal{I(R)}$ be an ideal expansion where $\mathcal{I(R)}$ the set of all ideals of $R$. In this paper, we introduce the concept of…

We study how Betti numbers of ideals in a local ring change under small perturbations. Given $p\in\mathbb N$ and given an ideal $I$ of a Noetherian local ring $(R,\mathfrak m)$, our main result states that there exists $N>0$ such that if…

We answer affirmatively a question of Srinivas--Trivedi: in a Noetherian local ring $(R,\mathfrak{m})$, if $I=(f_1,\dots,f_r)$ is an ideal generated by a filter-regular sequence and $J$ is an ideal such that $I+J$ is $\mathfrak{m}$-primary,…

The rank of a ring $R$ is the supremum of minimal cardinalities of generating sets of $I$, among all ideals $I$ in $R$. In this paper, we obtain a characterization of Noetherian rings $R$ whose rank is not equal to the supremum of ranks of…

An ideal $I$ in a Noetherian ring is called \textit{normal} if $I^n$ is integrally closed for all $n \geq 1$. Zariski proved that in two-dimensional regular local rings, every integrally closed ideal is normal. However, in dimension three…

Every quotient R/I of a semigroup ring R by a radical monomial ideal I has a unique minimal injective-like resolution by direct sums of quotients of R modulo prime monomial ideals. The quotient R/I is Cohen-Macaulay if and only if every…

Let $R:= K[x_1,\ldots,x_{n}]$ be a polynomial ring over an infinite field $K$, and let $I \subset R$ be a homogeneous ideal with respect to a weight vector $\omega = (\omega_1,\ldots,\omega_n) \in (\mathbb{Z}^+)^n$ such that $\dim(R/I) =…

In this article, we first generalize Kaplansky's zero-divisor conjecture of group-rings $K[G]$ (with $K$ a field) to the more general setting of $G$-graded rings $R=\bigoplus\limits_{n\in G}R_{n}$ with $G$ a torsion-free group. Then we…

The arithmetic rank of an ideal in a polynomial ring over an algebraically closed field is the smallest number of equations needed to define its vanishing locus set-theoretically. We determine the arithmetic rank of the generic $m$-residual…

We introduce two new invariants of a Noetherian (standard graded) local ring $(R, \mathfrak m)$ that measure the number of generators of certain kinds of reductions of $\mathfrak m,$ and we study their properties. Explicitly, we consider…

The adjoint of an ideal I in a regular local ring R is the R-ideal adj(I):=H^0(Y, I\omega_Y), where f:Y -> Spec(R) is a proper birational map with Y nonsingular and IO_Y invertible, and \omega_f is a canonical relative dualizing sheaf.…

Let $(\mathcal{O}_n, \mathfrak{m})$ denote the ring of germs of holomorphic functions $\mathbb{C}^n\to \mathbb{C}$, and let $I\subseteq \mathcal{O}_n$ be an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal. Demailly and Pham showed that $\mathrm{lct}(I) \geq…

We show how to lift any monomial ideal J in n variables to a saturated ideal I of the same codimension in n+t variables. We show that I has the same graded Betti numbers as J and we show how to obtain the matrices for the resolution of I.…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, and let $N$ be a non-zero finitely generated $R$-module. The purpose of this paper is to show that $N$ is locally unmixed if and only if, for any $N$-proper ideal $I$ of $R$ generated by $\Ht_N I$…
