In this paper we use the theory of multiplier ideals to show that the valuation ideals of a rank one Abhyankar valuation centered at a smooth point of a complex algebraic variety are approximated, in a quite strong sense, by sequences of…

A quasi-complete intersection (q.c.i.) ideal of a local ring is an ideal with "free exterior Koszul homology"; the definition can also be understood in terms of vanishing of Andr\'e-Quillen homology functors. Principal q.c.i. ideals are…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a regular local ring of dimension $d \geq 1$, $I$ an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal. Let $N$ be a non-zero finitely generated $A$-module. Consider the functions \[ t^I(N, n) = \sum_{i = 0}^{ d}\ell(\text{Tor}^A_i(N,…

Let R be a regular, local and F-finite ring defined over a field of finite characteristic. Let I be an ideal of height c with normal quotient $A=R/I$. It is shown that the local cohomology module H^c_I(R) contains a unique simple…

In this paper, we provide constructions to enumerate large numbers of CI-liaison classes. To this end, we introduce a liaison invariant and prove several results concerning it, notably that it commutes with hypersurface sections. This…

Set $ A := Q/({\bf z}) $, where $ Q $ is a polynomial ring over a field, and $ {\bf z} = z_1,\ldots,z_c $ is a homogeneous $ Q $-regular sequence. Let $ M $ and $ N $ be finitely generated graded $ A $-modules, and $ I $ be a homogeneous…

It is proved that a map $\varphi\colon R\to S$ of commutative noetherian rings that is essentially of finite type and flat is locally complete intersection if and only $S$ is proxy small as a bimodule. This means that the thick subcategory…

Let $X$ be a smooth irreducible projective variety of dimension at least 2 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 in the projective space ${\mathbb{P}}^n$. Bertini's Theorem states that a general hyperplane $H$ intersects…

Let I be an m-primary ideal of a Noetherian local ring (R,m). We consider the Gorenstein and complete intersection properties of the associated graded ring G(I) and the fiber cone F(I) of I as reflected in their defining ideals as…

We explore general intrinsic and extrinsic conditions that allow the transitivity of the relation of being a Lie ideal, in the sense that if a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{h}$ is a subideal of a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ (i.e. there exist Lie…

Consider a domain D in R^3 which is convex (possibly all R^3) or which is smooth and bounded. Given any open surface M, we prove that there exists a complete, proper minimal immersion f : M --> D. Moreover, if D is smooth and bounded, then…

We give a two step method to study certain questions regarding associated graded module of a Cohen-Macaulay (CM) module $M$ w.r.t an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal $\mathfrak{a}$ in a complete Noetherian local ring $(A,\mathfrak{m})$. The…

We investigate families of subsets of $\omega$ with almost disjoint refinements in the classical case as well as with respect to given ideals on $\omega$. More precisely, we study the following topics and questions: 1) Examples of…

We derive transformation rules for test ideals and $F$-singularities under an arbitrary finite surjective morphism $\pi : Y \to X$ of normal varieties in prime characteristic $p > 0$. The main technique is to relate homomorphisms $F_{*}…

Let $\Phi$ be an endomorphism of $\SR(\bar{\Q})$, the projective line over the algebraic closure of $\Q$, of degree $\geq2$ defined over a number field $K$. Let $v$ be a non-archimedean valuation of $K$. We say that $\Phi$ has critically…

Let $J\subsetneq I$ be two ideals of a polynomial ring $S$ over a field, generated by square free monomials. We show that some inequalities among the numbers of square free monomials of $I\setminus J$ of different degrees give upper bounds…

We continue our study of F-thresholds begun in math/0607660 by an in depth analysis of the hypersurface case. We use the D--module theoretic description of generalized test ideals which allows us to show that in any F--finite regular ring…

We introduce three notion of tameness of the Nori fundamental group scheme for a normal quasiprojective variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field. It is proved that these three notions agree if $X$ admits a smooth completion with…

For a Noetherian commutative ring $R$, let $H^i_I(R)$ be the $ i$-th local cohomology module of $R$ with respect to $I$. In \cite{Hel-08}, Hellus posed the question of identifying rings $R$ such that $\operatorname{injdim}_R…

We prove that if M is a finitely-generated module of dimension d with finite local cohomologies over a Noetherian local ring, and if the ith local cohomology module of M is zero unless i = d, i = 0, and i = r for some r strictly between 0…
