Let $A$ be a local complete intersection ring. Let $M,N$ be two finitely generated $A$-modules and $I$ an ideal of $A$. We prove that \[ \bigcup_{i\geqslant 0}\bigcup_{n \geqslant 0}\mathrm{Ass}_A\left(\mathrm{Ext}_A^i(M,N/I^n N)\right) \]…

Let G be a complex reductive algebraic group. We study complete intersections in a spherical homogeneous space G/H defined by a generic collection of sections from G-invariant linear systems. Whenever nonempty, all such complete…

Complete intersections may be unexpectedly simple over fields of positive characteristic: for instance, they may be unirational despite being of general type. One explanation is given by profiles, structure that tracks the special shape of…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a hypersurface local ring of dimension $d \geq 1$, $N$ a perfect $A$-module and let $I$ be an ideal in $A$ with $\ell(N/IN)$ finite. We show that there is a integer $r_I \geq -1$ (depending only on $I$ and $N$)…

We present a class of homogeneous ideals which are generated by monomials and binomials of degree two and are set-theoretic complete intersections. This class includes certain reducible varieties of minimal degree and, in particular, the…

In this paper we completely characterize lattice ideals that are complete intersections or equivalently complete intersections finitely generated semigroups of $\bz^n\oplus T$ with no invertible elements, where $T$ is a finite abelian…

In this paper, we prove that if $I\subset S:=K[x_1,...,x_n]$ is a monomial ideal then $I$ and $S/I$ satisfy the Stanley conjecture when $I$ has a small number of generators, with respect to $\depth(S/I)$ and $\max\{|P|:\;P\in\Ass(S/I)\}$.…

Hartshorne conjectured that a smooth, codimension c subvariety of n-dimensional projective space must be a complete intersection, whenever c is less than n/3. We prove this in the special case when n is much larger than the degree of the…

Let $X, Y \subset \mathbb{C}^{2n-1}$ be $n$-dimensional strong complete intersections in a general position. In this note, we consider the set of midpoints of chords connecting a point $x \in X$ to a point $y \in Y$. This set is defined as…

We prove that the space of smooth rational curves of degree $e$ in a general complete intersection of multidegree $(d_1, ..., d_m)$ in $\PP^n$ is irreducible of the expected dimension if $\sum_{i=1}^m d_i <\frac{2n}{3}$ and $n$ is large…

Let $\mathscr{A}$ be a finite set of closed rational points in projective space, let $\mathscr{I}$ be the vanishing ideal of $\mathscr{A}$, and let $\mathscr{D}(\mathscr{A})$ be the set of exponents of those monomials which do not occur as…

For any finitely generated module $M$ with non-zero rank over a commutative one-dimensional Noetherian local domain, we study a numerical invariant $\operatorname{h}(M)$ based on a partial trace ideal of $M$. We study its properties and…

In this article, we investigate the avoidance property of ideals and rings. Among the main results, a general version of the avoidance lemma is formulated. It is shown that every idempotent ideal (and hence every pure ideal) has avoidance.…

The arithmetic rank of an ideal in a polynomial ring over an algebraically closed field is the smallest number of equations needed to define its vanishing locus set-theoretically. We determine the arithmetic rank of the generic $m$-residual…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an abstract complete intersection and let $P$ be a prime ideal of $A$. In [1] Avramov proved that $A_P$ is an abstract complete intersection. In this paper we give an elementary proof of this result.

For zero-dimensional complete intersections with homogeneous ideal generators of equal degrees over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, we give a combinatorial proof of the smoothness of the corresponding catalecticant…

Let $R$ be an affine algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$ with dim$(R)=n$. Let $P$ be a projective $A=R[T_1,\cdots,T_k]$-module of rank $n$ with determinant $L$. Suppose $I$ is an ideal of $A$ of height $n$ such…

We give an expository account of Nullstellensatz-like results when the base field is finite. In particular, we discuss the vanishing ideal of the affine space and of the projective space over a finite field. As an application, we include an…

An intersection of sets $A = \bigcap_{i \in I}B_i$ is irredundant if no $B_i$ can be omitted from this intersection. We develop a topological approach to irredundance by introducing a notion of a spectral representation, a spectral space…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a local complete intersection ring and let $I$ be an ideal in $A$. Let $M, N$ be finitely generated $A$-modules. Then for $l = 0,1$, the values $depth \ Ext^{2i+l}_A(M, N/I^nN)$ become independent of $i, n$ for…
