We show that a unital ring is generated by its commutators as an ideal if and only if there exists a natural number $N$ such that every element is a sum of $N$ products of pairs of commutators. We show that one can take $N \leq 2$ for…

A famous result due to I. M. Isaacs states that if a commutative ring $R$ has the property that every prime ideal is principal, then every ideal of $R$ is principal. This motivates ring theorists to study commutative rings for which every…

We study the generic initial ideals (gin) of certain ideals that arise in modular invariant theory. For all cases an explicit generating set is known we calculate the generic initial ideal of the Hilbert ideal of a cyclic group of prime…

This article surveys results on graded algebras and their Hilbert series. We give simple constructions of finitely generated graded associative algebras $R$ with Hilbert series $H(R,t)$ very close to an arbitrary power series $a(t)$ with…

The Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity $\reg(I)$ is one of the most important invariants of a homogeneous ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring. A basic question is how the regularity behaves with respect to taking powers of ideals. It is known that…

For any ideal $I$ of finite projective dimension in a commutative noetherian local ring $R$, we prove that if the conormal module $I/I^2$ has finite projective dimension over $R/I$, then $I$ must be generated by a regular sequence. This…

Let $(R, \mathfrak m)$ be a commutative noetherian local ring and $I$ an ideal of $R$. For every $R$-module $M$, $\gamma_I(M) = \sum\{ \operatorname{Bi} f \,|\, f \in \operatorname{Hom}_R(I,M)\}$ is called the trace of $I$ in $M$. It is…

Let $A = K[x_1, ..., x_n]$ denote the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ with each $\deg x_i = 1$. Let $I$ be a homogeneous ideal of $A$ with $I \ne A$ and $H_{A/I}$ the Hilbert function of the quotient algebra $A / I$. Given…

There are several remarks on Hilbert series of finitely presented (f. p.) associative algebras over a field and their modules. First, given an integer $D$, the set of Hilbert series of right-sided ideals with generators and relations of…

In this paper we are concerned with a long-standing conjecture of Huneke and Wiegand. We introduce a new class of ideals and prove thateach ideal from such class satisfies the conclusion of the conjecture in question. We also study the…

Let R be a commutative ring with identity and N(R) be the set of all nilpotent elements of R. The aim of this paper is to introduce and study the notion of nil-prime ideals as a generalization of prime ideals. We say that a proper ideal P…

In this article, we introduce a generalization of the concept of graded $r$-ideals in graded commutative rings with nonzero unity. Let $G$ be a group, $R$ be a $G$-graded commutative ring with nonzero unity and $GI(R)$ be the set of all…

We prove a general divisibility theorem that implies, e.g., that, in any group, the number of generating pairs (as well as triples, etc.) is a multiple of the order of the commutator subgroup. Another corollary says that, in any associative…

Assume that $K$ is a field and $I_{1}\subsetneq ...\subsetneq I_{t}$ is an ascending chain (of length $t$) of ideals in the polynomial ring $K[x_{1},,...,x_{m}]$, for some $m\geq 1$. Suppose that $I_{j}$ is generated by polynomials of…

Let $S$ be a polynomial ring over a field and $I\subseteq S$ a homogeneous ideal containing a regular sequence of forms of degrees $d_1, \ldots, d_c$. In this paper we prove the Lex-plus-powers Conjecture when the field has characteristic 0…

In this paper, we view the collection of ideals of a commutative principal ideal ring from two perspectives: one as an ordered semigroup I(R) and the other as a category I_R . It is shown that I(R) is a regular ordered semigroup whereas I_R…

Monomial ideals and toric rings are closely related. By consider a Grobner basis we can always associated to any ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring a monomial ideal ${\rm in}_\prec I$, in some special situations the monomial ideal ${\rm…

Stillman posed a question as to whether the projective dimension of a homogeneous ideal I in a polynomial ring over a field can be bounded by some formula depending only on the number and degrees of the minimal generators of I. More…

For an ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring over a field, a monomial support of $I$ is the set of monomials that appear as terms in a set of minimal generators of $I$. Craig Huneke asked whether the size of a monomial support is a bound for the…

The notion of regularity has been used by S. Kleiman in the construction of bounded families of ideals or sheaves with given Hilbert polynomial, a crucial point in the construction of Hilbert or Picard scheme. In a related direction,…
