Let $I$ be a homogeneous ideal of $\Bbbk[x_0,\ldots,x_n]$. To compare $I^{(m)}$, the $m$-th symbolic power of $I$, with $I^m$, the regular $m$-th power, we introduce the $m$-th symbolic defect of $I$, denoted $\operatorname{sdefect}(I,m)$.…

Let $S=K[x_1, \ldots,x_n]$ denote the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ and let $I \subset S$ be a monomial ideal. For a vector $\mathfrak{c}\in\mathbb{N}^n$, we set $I_{\mathfrak{c}}$ to be the ideal generated by monomials…

By an easy application of Skoda's theorem on ideal generation, a non-local version of the Briancon-Skoda theorem is obtained. In particular, the symbolic powers $I^{(p)}$ of a zero dimensional radical ideal $I$ generated by $r$ holomorphic…

The purpose of this note is to find an elemenary explanation of a surprising result of Ein--Lazarsfeld--Smith \cite{ELS} and Hochster--Huneke \cite{HH} on the containment between symbolic and ordinary powers of ideals in simple cases. This…

Let $A = K[X_1,\ldots, X_d]$ and let $I$, $J$ be monomial ideals in $A$. Let $I_n(J) = (I^n \colon J^\infty)$ be the $n^{th}$ symbolic power of $I$ \wrt \ $J$. It is easy to see that the function $f^I_J(n) = e_0(I_n(J)/I^n)$ is of…

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…

In this paper, we investigate some properties of symbolic powers and symbolic Rees algebras of binomial edge ideals associated with some classes of block graphs. First, it is shown that symbolic powers of binomial edge ideals of pendant…

Let $R$ be a polynomial ring in $N$ variables over an arbitrary field $K$ and let $I$ be an ideal of $R$ generated by $n$ polynomials of degree at most 2. We show that there is a bound on the projective dimension of $R/I$ that depends only…

We investigate symbolic and regular powers of monomial ideals. For a square-free monomial ideal $I$ in $k[x_0, \ldots, x_n]$ we show $I^{t(m+e-1)-e+r)}$ is a subset of $M^{(t-1)(e-1)+r-1}(I^{(m)})^t$ for all positive integers $m$, $t$ and…

Let $I$ be a monomial ideal in a polynomial ring $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ over a field $K$ with $n=2$ or $3$, and let $\overline{I}$ be its integral closure. We will show that $\text{reg} (\overline{I}) \le \text{reg} (I)$. Furthermore, if $I$…

It is known that for a monomial ideal $I$, the number of minimal generators, $\mu(I^n)$, eventually follows a polynomial pattern for increasing $n$. In general, little is known about the power at which this pattern emerges. Even less is…

We study initial degrees of symbolic powers of ideals of arbitrary finite sets of points in the projective plane over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We show, how bounds on the growth of these degrees determine the…

In a polynomial ring over a perfect field, the symbolic powers of a prime ideal can be described via differential operators: a classical result by Zariski and Nagata says that the $n$-th symbolic power of a given prime ideal consists of the…

We introduce and study rational symbolic powers of ideals in Noetherian rings. We give membership criteria for rational symbolic powers and discuss settings where they agree with integer symbolic powers. We investigate the binomial…

We prove that all the symbolic powers of a Stanley-Reisner ideal are Cohen-Macaulay if and only if the associated simplicial complex is a matroid.

Let $R$ and $S$ be standard graded algebras over a field $k$, and $I \subseteq R$ and $J \subseteq S$ homogeneous ideals. Denote by $P$ the sum of the extensions of $I$ and $J$ to $R\otimes_k S$. We investigate several important homological…

This paper is a continuation of a previous work by the author and G. Puninski where iterated intersections of powers of ideals were studied in rings of iterated differential polynomials. We present a method which can be used to show that…

There is a longstanding conjecture by Fr\"oberg about the Hilbert series of the ring $R/I$, where $R$ is a polynomial ring, and $I$ an ideal generated by generic forms. We prove this conjecture true in the case when $I$ is generated by a…

In this paper we consider graded ideals in a polynomial ring over a field and ask when such an ideal has the property that all of its powers have a linear resolution. In particular it is shown that all powers of a monomial ideal with…

This is an exposition of some new results on associated primes and the depth of different kinds of powers of monomial ideals in order to show a deep connection between commutative algebra and some objects in combinatorics such as simplicial…
