On a probability space $(\Omega, \mathcal F, \mathbb P)$ we consider two independent sequences $(a_k)_{k \geq 1}$ and $(b_k)_{k \geq 1}$ of i.i.d. random variables that are centered with unit variance and which admit a moment strictly…

In 2013, Marcus, Spielman, and Srivastava resolved the famous Kadison-Singer conjecture. It states that for $n$ independent random vectors $v_1,\cdots, v_n$ that have expected squared norm bounded by $\epsilon$ and are in the isotropic…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Noetherian local ring, and let $J$ be an arbitrary ideal of $R$. Suppose $M$ is a finitely generated $R$-module. Let $x_1,\ldots,x_r$ be a $J$-filter regular sequence on $M$. We provide an explicit number $N$…

A homogeneous ideal $I$ of a polynomial ring $S$ is said to have the Rees property if, for any homogeneous ideal $J \subset S $ which contains $I$, the number of generators of $J$ is smaller than or equal to that of $I$. A homogeneous ideal…

This paper gives an elementary proof of an improved version of the algebraic Local B\'ezout Theorem (given by the authors in JSC 45 (2010) 975--985). Here we remove some ad hoc hypotheses and obtain an optimal algebraic version of the…

We consider the problem of computing homogeneous coordinates of points in a zero-dimensional subscheme of a compact, complex toric variety $X$. Our starting point is a homogeneous ideal $I$ in the Cox ring of $X$, which in practice might…

Fix an integer $n \geq 1$, and consider the set of all connected finite simple graphs on $n$ vertices. For each $G$ in this set, let $I(G)$ denote the edge ideal of $G$ in the polynomial ring $R = K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$. We initiate a study of…

The ring R of real-exponent polynomials in n variables over any field has global dimension n+1 and flat dimension n. In particular, the residue field k = R/m of R modulo its maximal graded ideal m has flat dimension n via a Koszul-like…

We attach a ring of sequences to each number from a certain class of extremal real numbers, and we study the properties of this ring both from an analytic point of view by exhibiting elements with specific behaviors, and also from an…

In this article we first compare the set of elements in the socle of an ideal of a polynomial algebra $K[x_1,\ldots,x_d]$ over a field $K$ that are not in the ideal itself and Macaulay's inverse systems of such polynomial algebras in a…

Let $S=K[x_1, \ldots,x_n]$ denote the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ and $I(G) \subset S$ the edge ideal of a finite graph $G$ on $n$ vertices. Given a vector $\mathfrak{c}\in\mathbb{N}^n$ and an integer $q\geq 1$, we…

To determine whether an $n\times n$-matrix has rank at most $r$ it suffices to check that the $(r+1)\times (r+1)$-minors have rank at most $r$. In other words, to describe the set of $n\times n$-matrices with the property of having rank at…
