Let $R$ be any noetherian local ring with residue field $k$, and $A$ the homology of the Koszul complex on a minimal set of generators of the maximal ideal of $R$. In this paper, we show that a minimal free resolution of $k$ over $R$ can be…

Let $k$ be a commutative Noetherian ring. In this paper we consider filtered modules of the category FI firstly introduced by Nagpal. We show that a finitely generated FI-module $V$ is filtered if and only if its higher homologies all…

Reductivity of knot projections refers to the minimum number of splices of double points needed to obtain reducible knot projections. Considering the type and method of splicing (Seifert type splice or non-Seifert type splice, recursively…

We prove a descent result for finite projective modules, motivated by a question in perfectoid geometry. Given a commutative ring $A$, we formulate a descent problem for descending a finite projective module over the Novikov ring with…

Let $R$ be a valuation ring and let $Q$ be its total quotient ring. It is proved that any singly projective (respectively flat) module is finitely projective if and only if $Q$ is maximal (respectively artinian). It is shown that each…

We prove existence of partitions of an open set $\Omega$ with a given number of phases, which minimize the sum of the fractional perimeters of all the phases, with Dirichlet boundary conditions. In two dimensions we show that, if the…

We analyze the query complexity of finding a local minimum in $t$ rounds on general graphs. More precisely, given a graph $G = (V,E)$ and oracle access to an unknown function $f : V \to \mathbb{R}$, the goal is to find a local minimum--a…

In these notes we investigate the cone of nef curves of projective varieties, which is the dual cone to the cone of pseudo-effective divisors. We prove a structure theorem for the cone of nef curves of projective $\mathbb Q$-factorial klt…

The notion of weakly Laskerian modules was introduced recently by the authors. Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring with identity, $\fa$ an ideal of $R$, and $M$ a weakly Laskerian module. It is shown that if $\fa$ is principal, then…

The {\it crossing number} of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of pairwise intersections of edges in a drawing of $G$. Motivated by the recent work [Faria, L., Figueiredo, C.M.H. de, Sykora, O., Vrt'o, I.: An improved upper bound on the…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian ring, $I$ an ideal of $R$ and $M$ an $R$-module with $\operatorname{cd}(I,M)=c$. In this article, we first show that there exists a descending chain of ideals $I=I_c\supsetneq I_{c-1}\supsetneq \cdots \supsetneq I_0$…

It is shown that any left module A over a ring R can be written as the intersection of a downward directed system of injective submodules of an injective module; equivalently, as an inverse limit of one-to-one homomorphisms of injectives.…

We construct examples of bounded below, noncontractible, acyclic complexes of finitely generated projective modules over some rings $S$, as well as bounded above, noncontractible, acyclic complexes of injective modules. The rings $S$ are…

We prove a symmetric version of B\'ezout's theorem. More precisely, we show that the symmetric orbit type of a transverse intersection of complex symmetric hypersurfaces in projective space is determined by the degrees. In the projective…

If a module $M$ has finite projective dimension, then the Ext modules of $M$ against any other module eventually vanish and the projective dimension of $M$ gives a uniform bound for this vanishing. For modules of infinite projective…

We classify the irreducible projective representations of symmetric and alternating groups of minimal possible and second minimal possible dimensions, and get a lower bound for the third minimal dimension. On the way we obtain some new…

For four wide classes of topological rings $\mathfrak R$, we show that all flat left $\mathfrak R$-contramodules have projective covers if and only if all flat left $\mathfrak R$-contramodules are projective if and only if all left…

Let $X$ be a finitely generated left module over a left artinian ring $R$, and let $p(X)=\{l_i\}$ be the infinite sequence of nonnegative integers where $l_i$ is the length of the $i$-th term of the minimal projective resolution of $X$. We…

In arXiv:2511.04191 we constructed schemes of objects in small categories which contained a set of basepoints with local representing (localizing) objects. Here we prove that the category $\cat{Rings}$ of associative rings with unit has a…

We study limit models in the abstract elementary class of modules with embeddings as algebraic objects. We characterize parametrized noetherian rings using the degree of injectivity of certain limit models. We show that the number of limit…
