We show that for a vertex decomposable simplicial complex $\Delta$, the Rees algebra of $I_{\Delta^{\vee}}$ is a normal Cohen-Macaulay domain. As consequences, we show that any squarefree weakly polymatroidal ideal is normal and we obtain…

Two birational subvarieties of P^n are called Cremona equivalent if there is a Cremona modification of P^n mapping one to the other. If the codimension of the varieties is at least 2 then they are always Cremona Equivalent. For divisors the…

In this paper we consider the birational classification of pairs (S,L), with S a rational surfaces and L a linear system on S. We give a classification theorem for such pairs and we determine, for each irreducible plane curve B, its…

Let $I$ be a perfect ideal of height two in $R=k[x_1, \ldots, x_d]$ and let $\varphi$ denote its Hilbert-Burch matrix. When $\varphi$ has linear entries, the algebraic structure of the Rees algebra $\mathcal{R}(I)$ is well-understood under…

We construct invariants of birational maps with values in the Kontsevich--Tschinkel group and in the truncated Grothendieck groups of varieties. These invariants are morphisms of groupoids and are well-suited to investigating the structure…

A form in a polynomial ring over a field is said to be homaloidal if its polar map is a Cremona map, i.e., if the rational map defined by the partial derivatives of the form has an inverse rational map. The object of this work is the search…

In this paper we describe the equations defining the multi-Rees algebra $k[x_1,\dots,x_n][I_1^{a_1}t_1,\dots,I_r^{a_r}t_r]$, where the ideals are generated by subsets of $x_1,\dots,x_n$. We also show that a family of binomials whose leading…

Riemann surfaces which are set by algebraic, algebroid and inverse functions are considered. A method for describing these Riemann surfaces by graphs is proposed. Each such Riemann surface is assigned to a special type of graph - profile.…

Let $k$ be a field. We determine the ideals $I$ in a finitely generated graded $k$-algebra $A$, whose associated graded rings are isomorphic to $A$. Also we compute the graded local cohomologies of the Rees rings $A[I t]$ and give the…

We study the Rees algebra of a perfect Gorenstein ideal of codimension 3 in a hypersurface ring. We provide a minimal generating set of the defining ideal of these rings by introducing a modified Jacobian dual and applying a recursive…

In this paper, we study the $F$-rationality of the Rees algebra and the extended Rees algebra of $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideals in excellent local rings $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ of prime characteristic. We partially answer some conjectures and…

We provide the sufficient conditions for Rees algebras of modules to be Cohen-Macaulay, which has been proven in the case of Rees algebras of ideals by Johnson-Ulrich and Goto-Nakamura-Nishida. As it turns out the generalization from ideals…

We show that certain C*-algebras which have been studied among others by Arzumanian, Vershik, Deaconu, and Renault in connection to a measure preserving transformation of a measure space and/or to a covering map of a compact space are…

Consider the rational map $\phi: \mathbb{P}^{n-1}_{\mathbf k} \stackrel{[f_0:\cdots: f_n]}{\longrightarrow} \mathbb{P}^{n}_{\mathbf k}$ defined by homogeneous polynomials $f_0,\dots,f_n$ of the same degree $d$ in a polynomial ring…

A new approach is established to computing the image of a rational map, whereby the use of approximation complexes is complemented with a detailed analysis of the torsion of the symmetric algebra in certain degrees. In the case the map is…

Let G be a perfect graph and let J be its ideal of vertex covers. We show that the Rees algebra of J is normal and that this algebra is Gorenstein if G is unmixed. Then we give a description--in terms of cliques--of the symbolic Rees…

We recall some properties, unfortunately not all, of the Cremona group. We first begin by presenting a nice proof of the amalgamated product structure of the well-known subgroup of the Cremona group made up of the polynomial automorphisms…

The fundamental theorem of Riemannian geometry is inverted for analytic Christoffel symbols. The inversion formula, henceforth dubbed Ricardo's formula, is obtained without ancillary assumptions. Even though Ricardo's formula can…

In this paper, we study formal mappings between smooth generic submanifolds in multidimensional complex space and establish results on finite determination, convergence and local biholomorphic and algebraic equivalence. Our finite…

A very well-covered graph is a well-covered graph without isolated vertices such that the size of its minimal vertex covers is half of the number of vertices. If $G$ is a Cohen-Macaulay very well-covered graph, we deeply investigate some…
