We generalize the polynomial Szemer\'{e}di theorem to intersective polynomials over the ring of integers of an algebraic number field, by which we mean polynomials having a common root modulo every ideal. This leads to the existence of new…
To a simplicial complex, we associate a square-free monomial ideal in the polynomial ring generated by its vertex set over a field. We study algebraic properties of this ideal via combinatorial properties of the simplicial complex. By…
Let $S=K[x_1, \ldots,x_n]$ denote the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ and $I \subset S$ a monomial ideal. Given a vector $\mathfrak{c}\in\mathbb{N}^n$, the ideal $I_{\mathfrak{c}}$ is the ideal generated by those monomials…
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…
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the Betti diagrams of squarefree monomial ideals in polynomial rings. We use two key tools to help us study these diagrams. The first is the Stanley-Reisner Correspondence, which assigns a unique…
A symmetric chain of ideals is a rule that assigns to each finite set $S$ an ideal $I_S$ in the polynomial ring $\mathbb{C}[x_i]_{i \in S}$ such that if $\phi \colon S \to T$ is an embedding of finite sets then the induced homomorphism…
Over a field of characteristic zero, we prove that for each r, there exists a constant C(r) so that the prime ideal of the rth secant variety of any Veronese embedding of any projective space is generated by polynomials of degree at most…
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring that is a smooth $\mathbb Z$-algebra. For each ideal $I$ of $R$ and integer $k$, we prove that the local cohomology module $H^k_I(R)$ has finitely many associated prime ideals. This settles a crucial…
In this paper, we study a class of toric ideals obtained by using some geometric data of ADE trees which are the minimal resolution graphs of rational surface singularities. We compute explicit Gr\"obner bases for these toric ideals that…
Using recent work by Erman-Sam-Snowden, we show that finitely generated ideals in the ring of bounded-degree formal power series in infinitely many variables have finitely generated Gr\"obner bases relative to the graded reverse…
Let $R = k[x_1, \dotsc , x_n]$ denote the standard graded polynomial ring over a field $k$. We study certain classes of equigenerated monomial ideals with the property that the so-called complementary ideal has no linear relations on the…

We investigate the standard graded $k$-algebras over a field $k$ of characteristic zero for which general linear forms are exact zero divisors. We formulate a conjecture regarding the Hilbert function of such rings. We prove our conjecture…
An ideal in a polynomial ring encodes a system of linear partial differential equations with constant coefficients. Primary decomposition organizes the solutions to the PDE. This paper develops a novel structure theory for primary ideals in…
This paper studies algebraic residual intersections in rings with Serre's condition \( S_{s} \). It demonstrates that residual intersections admit free approaches i.e. perfect subideal with the same radical. This fact leads to determining a…
To any toric ideal $I_A$, encoded by an integer matrix $A$, we associate a matroid structure called {\em the bouquet graph} of $A$ and introduce another toric ideal called {\em the bouquet ideal} of $A$. We show how these objects capture…
