The problem of expressing a specific polynomial as the determinant of a square matrix of affine-linear forms arises from algebraic geometry, optimisation, complexity theory, and scientific computing. Motivated by recent developments in this…
Neural ideals, originally defined in arXiv:1212.4201, give a way of translating information about the firing pattern of a set of neurons into a pseudomonomial ideal in a polynomial ring. We give a simple criterion for determining whether a…
A C*-algebra is n-homogeneous (where n is finite) if every its nonzero irreducible representation acts on an n-dimensional Hilbert space. An elementary proof of Fell's characterization of n-homogeneous C*-algebras (by means of their…
We present an algorithm which for any given ideal $I\subseteq\mathbb{K} [x,y]$ finds all elements of $I$ that have the form $f(x) - g(y)$, i.e., all elements in which no monomial is a multiple of $xy$.
Motivated by recent work on optimal approximation by polynomials in the unit disk, we consider the following noncommutative approximation problem: for a polynomial $f$ in $d$ freely noncommuting arguments, find a free polynomial $p_n$, of…
We give a numerical characterization of the possible extremal Betti numbers (values as well as positions) of any homogeneous ideal in a polynomial ring over a field.
For which monomial supports do most polynomials generate a prime ideal? We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the radical of the ideal to be prime over an algebraically closed field. In characteristic zero, the same conditions…
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…
We consider the problem of finding a best uniform approximation to the standard monomial on the unit ball in $\bbC^2$ by polynomials of lower degree with complex coefficients. We reduce the problem to a one-dimensional weighted minimization…
In this article we investigate when a homogeneous ideal in a graded ring is normal, that is, when all positive powers of the ideal are integrally closed. We are particularly interested in homogeneous ideals in an N-graded ring generated by…
Let $J\subset I$ be ideals in a formally equidimensional local ring with $\lambda(I/J)<\infty.$ Rees proved that for all $n\gg0$, $\lambda(I^n/J^n)$ is a polynomial $P(I/J)(X)$ in $n$ of degree at most dim $R$ and $J$ is a reduction of $I$…
We introduce a very natural topology on the set of total orderings of monomials of any algebra having a countable basis over a field. This topological space and some notable subspaces are compact. This topological framework allows us to…
We establish an explicit formula for the number $C_n(q)$ of ideals of codimension $n$ of the algebra ${\mathbb F}_q[x,y,x^{-1}, y^{-1}]$ of Laurent polynomials in two variables over a finite field of cardinality $q$. This number is a…
It is shown that any set of nonzero monomial prime ideals can be realized as the stable set of associated prime ideals of a monomial ideal. Moreover, an algorithm is given to compute the stable set of associated prime ideals of a monomial…
Let $F(\boldsymbol x)$ be a homogeneous polynomial in $n \ge 1$ variables of degree $1 \leq d \leq n$ with integer coefficients so that its degree in every variable is equal to $1$. We give some sufficient conditions on $F$ to ensure that…
We consider the problem of finding the isolated common roots of a set of polynomial functions defining a zero-dimensional ideal I in a ring R of polynomials over C. We propose a general algebraic framework to find the solutions and to…
In this paper, we construct the abstract ideal of polynomials. We show this is an ideal of Banach and, in a second moment, we explore the question of the coherence and compatibility of the pair composed by the abstract ideals of polynomials…
In our earlier article~\cite{CanSakran} we initiated a study of the complement-finite submonoids of the group of integer points of a unipotent linear algebraic group. In the present article, we continue to develop tools and techniques for…
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…
One deals with catalectic codimension two perfect ideals and certain degenerations thereof, with a view towards the nature of their symbolic powers. In the spirit of [10] one considers linearly presented such ideals, only now in the…
