We calculate the Krull--Gabriel dimension of the functor category of the (stable) category of maximal Cohen--Macaulay modules over hypersurfaces of countable Cohen--Macaulay representation type. We show that the Krull--Gabriel dimension is…
The purpose of this note is to show that a finitely generated graded module $M$ over $S=k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, $k$ a field, is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay if and only if its arithmetic degree ${\rm adeg}(M)$ agrees with ${\rm adeg}(F/{\rm…
We show that any lexsegment ideal with linear resolution has linear quotients with respect to a suitable ordering of its minimal monomial generators. For completely lexsegment ideals with linear resolution we show that the decomposition…
The proper parts of face lattices of convex polytopes are shown to satisfy a strong form of the Cohen--Macaulay property, namely that removing from their Hasse diagram all edges in any closed interval results in a Cohen--Macaulay poset of…
We identify several classes of monomial ideals that possess minimal generalized Barile-Macchia resolutions. These classes of ideals include generic monomial ideals, monomial ideals with linear quotients, and edge ideals of hypertrees. We…
Let $X$ be a finite-dimensional normed space and let $Y \subseteq X$ be its proper linear subspace. The set of all minimal projections from $X$ to $Y$ is a convex subset of the space all linear operators from $X$ to $X$ and we can consider…
We investigate monomial labellings on cell complexes, giving a minimal cellular resolution of the ideal generated by these monomials, and such that the associated quotient ring is Cohen-Macaulay. We introduce a notion of such a labelling…
This paper is concerned with the question of whether geometric structures such as cell complexes can be used to simultaneously describe the minimal free resolutions of all powers of a monomial ideal. We provide a full answer in the case of…
We extend the definition of chordal from graphs to clutters. The resulting family generalizes both chordal graphs and matroids, and obeys many of the same algebraic and geometric properties. Specifically, the independence complex of a…
A graphic arrangement is a subarrangement of the braid arrangement whose set of hyperplanes is determined by an undirected graph. A classical result due to Stanley, Edelman and Reiner states that a graphic arrangement is free if and only if…
We prove that integral projective curves with Cohen-Macaulay singularities over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero are determined by their triangulated category of perfect complexes.This partially extends a theorem of…
We show the vanishing of the first direct image of the structure sheaf of a normal scheme $X$ which is mapped properly and birationally over a regular scheme of any dimension. On the other hand, for any dimension greater than two, we show…
We introduce sequentially $S_r$ modules over a commutative graded ring and sequentially $S_r$ simplicial complexes. This generalizes two properties for modules and simplicial complexes: being sequentially Cohen-Macaulay, and satisfying…
We produce a criterion for open sets in projective $n$-space over a separably closed field to have \'etale cohomological dimension bounded by $2n-3$. We use the criterion to exhibit a scheme for which \'etale cohomological dimension is…
We introduce the notion of a projectively simple ring, which is an infinite-dimensional graded k-algebra A such that every 2-sided ideal has finite codimension in A (over the base field k). Under some (relatively mild) additional…
Every quotient R/I of a semigroup ring R by a radical monomial ideal I has a unique minimal injective-like resolution by direct sums of quotients of R modulo prime monomial ideals. The quotient R/I is Cohen-Macaulay if and only if every…
We prove that, for the edge ideal of a cactus graph, the arithmetical rank is bounded above by the sum of the number of cycles and the maximum height of its associated primes. The bound is sharp, but in many cases it can be improved.…
We introduce the abstract notion of squarefree-power-like functions, which unify the sequences of squarefree ordinary and symbolic powers of squarefree monomial ideals. By employing the Tor-vanishing criteria for mixed sums of ideals, we…
It is proved that fundamental groups of boolean representable simplicial complexes are free and the rank is determined by the number and nature of the connected components of their graph of flats for dimension $\geq 2$. In the case of…
Let $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over a field $K$, and let $A$ be a finitely generated standard graded $S$-algebra. We show that if the defining ideal of $A$ has a quadratic initial ideal, then all the graded components of…
