An ideal $I$ in a Noetherian ring is called \textit{normal} if $I^n$ is integrally closed for all $n \geq 1$. Zariski proved that in two-dimensional regular local rings, every integrally closed ideal is normal. However, in dimension three…

We prove that every place of an algebraic function field F|K of arbitrary characteristic admits local uniformization in a finite extension F' of F. We show that F'|F can be chosen to be normal. If K is perfect and P is of rank 1, then…

The purpose of this paper is to prove a generalization of Faltings' connectedness theorem which asserts that, for a complete local domain R of dimension n, the punctured spectrum of R/I is connected if the ideal I is generated by at most…

We prove that a local domain $R$, essentially of finite type over a field, is regular if and only if for every regular alteration $\pi : X \to Spec R$, we have that $R \pi_* \mathcal{O}_X$ has finite (equivalently zero in characteristic…

Let $I$ be an ideal of a local ring $(R,\mathfrak m)$ with $d = \dim R.$ For the local cohomology module $H^i_I(R)$ it is a well-known fact that it vanishes for $i > d$ and is an Artinian $R$-module for $i = d.$ In the case that the…

Let $(R,\frak{m})$ be a Noetherian local ring, $I$ an ideal of $R$ and $N$ a finitely generated $R$-module. Let $k{\ge}-1$ be an integer and $ r=\depth_k(I,N)$ the length of a maximal $N$-sequence in dimension $>k$ in $I$ defined by M.…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. The structure theorem says that $R$ is a PIR (resp., UFR, general ZPI-ring, $\pi$-ring) if and only if $R$ is a finite direct product of PIDs (resp., UFDs, Dedekind domains, $\pi$-domains) and…

Raynaud and Gruson developed the theory of blowing-up an algebraic variety $X$ along a coherent sheaf $M$ in the sense that there exists a blow-up $X'$ of $X$ such that the "strict transform" of $M$ is flat over $X'$ and the blow-up…

In this paper we exhibit an example of a three-dimensional regular local domain (A, n) having a height-two prime ideal P with the property that the extension PA^ of P to the n-adic completion A^ of A is not integrally closed. We use a…

Let $I$ denote an ideal of a local ring $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ of dimension $n$. Let $M$ denote a finitely generated $R$-module. We study the endomorphism ring of the local cohomology module $H^c_I(M), c = \grade (I,M)$. In particular there is…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $\Phi$ a system of ideals of $R$, $\fa \in \Phi$, $M$ an arbitrary $R$-module and $t$ a non-negative integer. Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a Melkersson subcategory of $R$-modules. Among other things, we…

Let X\subset PP^n be a projective scheme over a field, and let phi:X --> Y be a finite morphism. Our main result is a formula in terms of global data for the maximum of the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the fibers of \phi, considered as…

Let (T,M) be a complete local domain containing the integers. Let p1 \subseteq p2 \subseteq ... \subseteq pn be a chain of nonmaximal prime ideals T such that T_pn is a regular local ring. We construct a chain of excellent local domains An…

Many classical ring-theoretic results state that an ideal that is maximal with respect to satisfying a special property must be prime. We present a "Prime Ideal Principle" that gives a uniform method of proving such facts, generalizing the…

We use our extension of the Noether-Lefschetz theorem to describe generators of the class groups at the local rings of singularities of very general hypersurfaces containing a fixed base locus. We give several applications, including (1)…

A commutative ring $R$ is stable provided every ideal of $R$ containing a nonzerodivisor is projective as a module over its ring of endomorphisms. The class of stable rings includes the one-dimensional local Cohen-Macaulay rings of…

Let X be a set of smooth points in P^2, and I = \oplus_{t >= d} I_t the defining ideal of X. In this paper, we give a set of defining equations for the Rees algebra R(I_{d+1}) of the ideal generated by I_{d+1}. This study give information…

We study the defining equations of projective embeddings of the blowup of P^2 at a set of {d+1 \choose 2} number of points in generic position. To do this, we first generalize the notion of a matrix, its ideal of 2x2 minors to that of a…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the class of rings for which every indecomposable right module is pure-projective or pure-injective. When $R$ is a Noetherian local commutative ring of maximal ideal $P$, it is proven that $R\in\mathcal{P}$ if and only…
