The classical "generalized principal ideal theorems" of Macaulay, Eagon-Northcott, and others give sharp bounds on the heights of determinantal ideals in arbitrary rings. But in regular local rings (or graded polynomial rings) these are far…

In this paper we provide a description of the package \textit{PolyominoIdeals} for \textit{Macaulay2} that allows to deal with collections of cells, polyominoes and related binomial ideals.

We introduce different notions of polynomial convexity with bounds on degrees of polynomials in $\mathbb C^n$. We provide some examples in higher dimensions and show necessary and sufficient conditions for polynomial convexity with degree…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition on a homogeneous polynomial ideal for its Taylor complex to be exact. Then we give a combinatorial construction of a minimal resolution for ideals satisfying the above condition (in particular…

We obtain a description of the Bipartite Perfect Matching decision problem as a multilinear polynomial over the Reals. We show that it has full degree and $(1-o_n(1))\cdot 2^{n^2}$ monomials with non-zero coefficients. In contrast, we show…

Binomial ideals are special polynomial ideals with many algorithmically and theoretically nice properties. We discuss the problem of deciding if a given polynomial ideal is binomial. While the methods are general, our main motivation and…

Given an ideal $I$ and a polynomial $f$ the Ideal Membership Problem is to test if $f\in I$. This problem is a fundamental algorithmic problem with important applications and notoriously intractable. We study the complexity of the Ideal…

Following work of Keel and Tevelev, we give explicit polynomials in the Cox ring of $\mathbb{P}^1\times\cdots\times\mathbb{P}^{n-3}$ that, conjecturally, determine $\overline{M}_{0,n}$ as a subscheme. Using Macaulay2, we prove that these…

Maximum likelihood estimation in statistics leads to the problem of maximizing a product of powers of polynomials. We study the algebraic degree of the critical equations of this optimization problem. This degree is related to the number of…

We complete the complexity classification by degree of minimizing a polynomial over the integer points in a polyhedron in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Previous work shows that optimizing a quadratic polynomial over the integer points in a polyhedral…

For a principal ideal domain $A$, the Latimer--MacDuffee correspondence sets up a bijection between the similarity classes of matrices in $\operatorname{M}_{n}(A)$ with irreducible characteristic polynomial $f(x)$ and the ideal classes of…

After sketching the basic theory of injective ideals of homogeneous polynomials, we characterize injective polynomial ideals by means of a domination property and applications of this characterization to some classical operator ideals and…

We characterize the class of ideals of a polynomial ring such that the hilbert series of their graded local cohomology modules is maximal.

We use geometric and cohomological methods to show that given a degree bound for membership in ideals of a fixed degree type in the polynomial ring P=k[x_0,..., x_d], one obtains a good generic degree bound for membership in the tight…

Let $\mathbf{k}$ be a field which is either finite or algebraically closed and let $R = \mathbf{k}[x_1,\ldots,x_n].$ We prove that any $g_1,\ldots,g_s\in R$ homogeneous of positive degrees $\le d$ are contained in an ideal generated by an…

We study the problem of whether $\mathcal{P}_w(^nE)$, the space of $n$-homogeneous polynomials which are weakly continuous on bounded sets, is an $M$-ideal in the space of continuous $n$-homogeneous polynomials $\mathcal{P}(^nE)$. We obtain…

Recently the authors presented a matrix representation approach to real Appell polynomials essentially determined by a nilpotent matrix with natural number entries. It allows to consider a set of real Appell polynomials as solution of a…

We show that the class of completely m-full ideals coincides with the class of componentwise linear ideals in a polynomial ring over an infinite field.

We describe an algorithm which finds binomials in a given ideal $I\subset\mathbb{Q}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ and in particular decides whether binomials exist in $I$ at all. Binomials in polynomial ideals can be well hidden. For example, the lowest…

Suppose $I$ is an ideal of a polynomial ring over a field, $I\subseteq k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, and whenever $fg\in I$ with degree $\leq b$, then either $f\in I$ or $g\in I$. When $b$ is sufficiently large, it follows that $I$ is prime.…
