Let $R$ be a normal Noetherian local domain of Krull dimension two. We examine intersections of rank one discrete valuation rings that birationally dominate $R$. We restrict to the class of prime divisors that dominate $R$ and show that if…

In this paper, we study a family of binomial ideals defining monomial curves in the $n-$dimensional affine space determined by $n$ hypersurfaces of the form $x_i^{c_i} - x_1^{u_{i1}} \cdots x_n^{u_{1n}} \in k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ with $u_{ii}…

The purpose of this note is twofold. First, we give a quick proof of Ballico-Chiantini's theorem stating that a Fano or Calabi-Yau variety of dimension at least 4 in codimension two is a complete intersection. Second, we improve Barth-Van…

For the family of graded lattice ideals of dimension 1, we establish a complete intersection criterion in algebraic and geometric terms. In positive characteristic, it is shown that all ideals of this family are binomial set theoretic…

We prove that every quasi-complete intersection ideal is obtained from a pair of nested complete intersection ideals by way of a flat base change. As a by-product we establish a rigidity statement for the minimal two-step Tate complex…

Let S be a polynomial algebra over a field. If I is the edge ideal of a perfect semiregular tree, then we give precise formulas for values of depth, Stanley depth, projective dimension, regularity and Krull dimension of S/I.

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a complete intersection of dimension $d \geq 1$ and codimension $c \geq 1$. Let $I$ be an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal and let $M$ be a finitely generated $A$-module. For $i \geq 1$ let $\psi_i^I(M)$ be the degree…

We study the arithmetic of complete intersections in projective space over number fields. Our main results include arithmetic Torelli theorems and versions of the Shafarevich conjecture, as proved for curves and abelian varieties by…

Let $K$ be a field and $I$ a monomial ideal of the polynomial ring $S=K[x_1,..., x_n]$ generated by monomials $u_1,u_2,..., u_t$. We show that $S/I$ is pretty clean if either: 1) $u_1,u_2,..., u_t$ is a filter-regular sequence, 2)…

This is essentially an erratum, with some example to indicate inconsistencies. Suppose $A=k[X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_n]$ is a polynomial ring over a field $k$. The Complete Intersection conjecture states that, for any ideal $I$ in $A$,…

For an ideal $I$ in a Noetherian ring $R$, the Fitting ideals $\textrm{Fitt}_j(I)$ are studied. We discuss the question of when $\textrm{Fitt}_j(I)=I$ or $\sqrt{\textrm{Fitt}_j(I)}=\sqrt{I}$ for some $j$. A classical case is the…

Let $d_1,...,d_r$ be positive integers and let $I = (F_1,...,F_r)$ be an ideal generated by general forms of degrees $d_1,...,d_r$, respectively, in a polynomial ring $R$ with $n$ variables. When all the degrees are the same we give a…

Let $S$ be a polynomial ring over an algebraic closed field $k$ and $ \mathfrak p =(x,y,z,w) $ a homogeneous height four prime ideal. We give a finite characterization of the degree two component of ideals primary to $\mathfrak p$, with…

Let $R$ be a polynomial ring over a field of characteristic zero and let $I \subset R$ be a graded ideal of height $N$ which is minimally generated by $N+1$ homogeneous polynomials. If $I=(f_1,...,f_{N+1})$ where $f_i$ has degree $d_i$ and…

An ideal $I$ of a local Gorenstein ring $(R, \mathfrak m)$ is called cohomologically complete intersection whenever $H^i_I(R) = 0$ for all $i \not= \height I.$ Here $H^i_I(R), i \in \mathbb Z,$ denotes the local cohomology of $R$ with…

This paper is a continuation of a previous work by the author and G. Puninski where iterated intersections of powers of ideals were studied in rings of iterated differential polynomials. We present a method which can be used to show that…

The perfect conductivity problem concerns optimal bounds for the magnitude of an electric field in the presence of almost touching perfect conductors. This reduces to obtaining gradient estimates for harmonic functions with Dirichlet…

In this paper, we prove the moving lemma, addition and subtraction principles, in a more general setup than the available ones. We apply these results to explore a question of Nori on homotopy of sections of projective modules. As another…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian ring, $I$ and $J$ two ideals of $R$ and $t$ an integer. Let $S$ be the class of Artinian $R$-modules, or the class of all $R$-modules $N$ with $\dim_RN\leq k$, where $k$ is an integer. It is proved that $\inf\{i:…
