We study the intersections of general Schubert varieties X_w with permuted big cells, and give an inductive degeneration of each such "Schubert patch" to a Stanley-Reisner scheme. Similar results had been known for Schubert patches in…

We consider ideals $I$ in a Stanley-Reisner ring $k[\Delta]$ over the simplical complex $\Delta$, such that the tight closure of $I$, $I^*$, is equal to $\mathfrak{m}$, the standard graded maximal ideal of $k[\Delta]$. We determine the…

Alexander duality has, in the past, made its way into commutative algebra through Stanley-Reisner rings of simplicial complexes. This has the disadvantage that one is limited to squarefree monomial ideals. The notion of Alexander duality is…

Let $\Delta$ be an one-dimensional simplicial complex on $\{1,2,\ldots,s\}$ and $S$ the polynomial ring $K[x_1,\ldots,x_s]$ over a field $K$. The explicit formula for $a_0(S/I_{\Delta}^n)$ is presented when $\mathrm{girth}(\Delta)\geq 4$.…

Given a shifted order ideal $U$, we associate to it a family of simplicial complexes $(\Delta_t(U))_{t\geq 0}$ that we call squeezed complexes. In a special case, our construction gives squeezed balls that were defined and used by Kalai to…

We apply some basic notions from combinatorial topology to establish various algebraic properties of edge ideals of graphs and more general Stanley-Reisner rings. In this way we provide new short proofs of some theorems from the literature…

Let ${\sf k}$ be a field, $S$ be a bigraded ${\sf k}$-algebra, and $S_\Delta$ denote the diagonal subalgebra of $S$ corresponding to $\Delta = \{ (cs,es) \; | \; s \in \mathbb{Z} \}$. It is know that the $S_\Delta$ is Koszul for $c,e \gg…

The arithmetic degree, the smallest extended degree, and the homological degree are invariants that have been proposed as alternatives of the degree of a module if this module is not Cohen-Macaulay. We compare these degree functions and…

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…

Symmetric ideals in increasingly larger polynomial rings that form an ascending chain are investigated. We focus on the asymptotic behavior of codimensions and projective dimensions of ideals in such a chain. If the ideals are graded it is…

Let $W$ be a Weyl group corresponding to the root system $A_{n-1}$ or $B_n$. We define a simplicial complex $ \Delta^m_W $ in terms of polygon dissections for such a group and any positive integer $m$. For $ m=1 $, $ \Delta^m_W$ is…

Let R be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring with a canonical module. We consider Auslander's (higher) delta invariants of powers of certain ideals of R. Firstly, we shall provide some conditions for an ideal to be a parameter ideal in terms of…

Let $(X,\Delta)$ be a smooth complex projective simple normal crossing pair of dimension $n\geq 3$ endowed with an everywhere nondegenerate logarithmic conformal tensor. If $K_X+\Delta$ is not nef, then precisely one of the following…

In this paper we study the topology of a set naturally arising from the study of $\beta$-expansions. After proving several elementary results for this set we study the case when our base is Pisot. In this case we give necessary and…

Given any finite simplicial complex \Delta, we show how to construct a new simplicial complex \Delta_{\chi} that is balanced and vertex decomposable. Moreover, we show that the h-vector of the simplicial complex \Delta_{\chi} is precisely…

We introduce the concept of constructible ideal and we relate this concept with the notion of constructible simplicial complex. Several properties of constructible ideals are studied.

Our main theorems provide a single geometric setting in which polynomial representatives for Schubert classes in the integral cohomology ring of the flag manifold are determined uniquely, and have positive coefficients for geometric…

We study Hilbert-Samuel multiplicity for points of Schubert varieties in the complete flag variety, by Groebner degenerations of the Kazhdan-Lusztig ideal. In the covexillary case, we give a positive combinatorial rule for multiplicity by…

In 1987, Stanley conjectured that if a centrally symmetric Cohen--Macaulay simplicial complex $\Delta$ of dimension $d-1$ satisfies $h_i(\Delta)=\binom{d}{i}$ for some $i\geq 1$, then $h_j(\Delta)=\binom{d}{j}$ for all $j\geq i$. Much more…

We introduce the concept of $j$-stretched ideals in a Noetherian local ring. This notion generalizes to arbitrary ideals the classical notion of stretched $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideals of Sally and Rossi-Valla, as well as the concept of…
