We will study monomial ideals $I$ in the exterior algebra as well as in the polynomial ring whose generic initial ideal is constant for all term orders up to permutations of variables. First, in the exterior algebra, we determine all graphs…

Given an ideal $I$ and a weight vector $w$ which partially orders monomials we can consider the initial ideal $\init_w (I)$ which has the same Hilbert function. A well known construction carries this out via a one-parameter subgroup of a…

A direct proof is presented of a form of Alvise Trevisan's result, that every monomial ideal ring is represented by the cohomology of topological space. Certain of these rings are shown to be realized by polyhedral products indexed by…

In this paper we study monomial cycles in Koszul homology over a monomial ring. The main result is that a monomial cycle is a boundary precisely when the monomial representing that cycle is contained in an ideal we introduce called the…

In analogy with the classical, affine toric rings, we define a local toric ring as the quotient of a regular local ring modulo an ideal generated by binomials in a regular system of parameters with unit coefficients; if the coefficients are…

We will give a pure combinatorial proof of the Eisenbud-Goto conjecture for arbitrary monomial curves. Moreover, we will show that the conjecture holds for certain simplicial affine semigroup rings.

We show that the Fr\"oberg conjecture holds in the second non-trivial degree for an ideal generated by generic forms of degree $d>2$. We also show that the conjecture is true up to degree $2d-1$ provided that the number of variables is…

L\'evai and Pyber proposed the following as a conjecture: Let $G$ be a profinite group such that the set of solutions of the equation $x^n=1$ has positive Haar measure. Then $G$ has an open subgroup $H$ and an element $t$ such that all…

We classify the propositional modal validities arising from the category of sets under its natural classes of morphisms. The resulting validities depend on the morphism class, the size of the world, and the permitted substitution instances.…

The main result of this note asserts that a strong form of the Matroid Minor Conjecture due to J. Draisma is not true, i.e., there exist properly ascending chains of $S_\infty$-stable ideals in the affine coordinate ring of the affine…

The Gr\"obner stratum of a monomial ideal $\id{j}$ is an affine variety that parametrizes the family of all ideals having $\id{j}$ as initial ideal (with respect to a fixed term ordering). The Gr\"obner strata can be equipped in a natural…

In this short note we introduce a notion of extremality for Betti numbers of a minimal free resolution, which can be seen as a refinement of the notion of Mumford-Castelnuovo regularity. We show that extremal Betti numbers of an arbitrary…

We show that a miniaturised version of Maclagan's theorem on monomial ideals is equivalent to $\mathrm{1}{-}\mathrm{Con}(\mathrm{I}\Sigma_2)$ and classify a phase transition threshold for this theorem. This work highlights the combinatorial…

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…

The geometric and algebraic theory of monomial ideals and multigraded modules is initiated over real-exponent polynomial rings and, more generally, monoid algebras for real polyhedral cones. The main results include the generalization of…

Let $\u_{1\times n}$, $\X_{n\times n}$, and $\v_{n\times 1}$ be matrices of indeterminates, $\Adj \X$ be the classical adjoint of $\X$, and $H(n)$ be the ideal $I_1(\u\X)+I_1(\X\v)+I_1(\v\u-\Adj \X)$. Vasconcelos has conjectured that $H(n)$…

We say an excellent local domain $(S,n)$ satisfies the vanishing conditions for maps of Tor, if for every $A\to R\to S$ with $A$ regular and $A\to R$ module-finite torsion-free extension, and every $A$-module $M$, the map $Tor^A_i(M, R)\to…

Let $\ast $ be a star operation of finite character. Call a $\ast $-ideal $I$ of finite type a $\ast $-homogeneous ideal if $I$ is contained in a unique maximal $\ast $-ideal $M=M(I).$ A maximal $\ast $-ideal that contains a $\ast…

Building on previous work by the same authors, we show that certain ideals defining Gorenstein rings have expected resurgence, and thus satisfy the stable Harbourne Conjecture. In prime characteristic, we can take any radical ideal defining…

The Riemann-Roch theorem on a graph G is related to Alexander duality in combinatorial commutive algebra. We study the lattice ideal given by chip firing on G and the initial ideal whose standard monomials are the G-parking functions. When…
