In this paper, we investigate the degree of $h$-polynomials of edge ideals of finite simple graphs. In particular, we provide combinatorial formulas for the degree of the $h$-polynomial for various fundamental classes of graphs such as…

We give explicit numerical estimates for the generalized Chebyshev functions. Explicit results of this kind are useful for estimating of computational complexity of algorithms which generates special primes. Such primes are needed to…

In this paper we prove that the gradient ideal of a Morse polynomial is radical. This gives a generic class of polynomials whose gradient ideals are radical. As a consequence we reclaim a previous result that the unconstrained polynomial…

An old conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and R\'enyi, proved by Schinzel, predicted a bound for the number of terms of a polynomial $g(x) \in \mathbb{C}[x]$ when its square $g(x)^2$ has a given number of terms. Further conjectures and results arose,…

This paper presents three results on F-singularities. First, we give a new proof of Eisenstein's restriction theorem for adjoint ideal sheaves, using the theory of F-singularities. Second, we show that a conjecture of Musta\c{t}\u{a} and…

The containment problem for symbolic and ordinary powers of ideals asks for what values of $a$ and $b$ we have $I^{(a)} \subseteq I^b$. Over a regular ring, a result by Ein-Lazarsfeld-Smith, Hochster-Huneke, and Ma-Schwede partially answers…

In this paper we study the integrals of fractional parts of given functions, and develop some new tools to understand the behaviour of prime differences. We demonstrate how simply some seemingly difficult conjectures related to prime…

We prove that the $d$-component of the generic initial ideal, with respect to the reverse lexicographic order, of an ideal generated by a regular sequence of homogeneous polynomials of degree $d$ is revlex in a particular, but important,…

The $F$-pure threshold is a numerical invariant of prime characteristic singularities, that constitutes an analogue of the log canonical thresholds in characteristic zero. We compute the $F$-pure thresholds of determinantal ideals, i.e., of…

Let I be a finitely supported complete m-primary ideal of a regular local ring (R, m). A theorem of Lipman implies that I has a unique factorization as a *-product of special *-simple complete ideals with possibly negative exponents for…

The $F$-pure threshold is the characteristic $p$ counter part of the log canonical threshold in characteristic zero. It is a numerical invariant associated to the singularities of a variety, hence computing its value is important. We give a…

Various problems on integers lead to the class of congruence preserving functions on rings, i.e. functions verifying $a-b$ divides $f(a)-f(b)$ for all $a,b$. We characterized these classes of functions in terms of sums of rational…

We introduce different notions of polynomial convexity with bounds on degrees of polynomials in $\mathbb C^n$. We provide some examples in higher dimensions and show necessary and sufficient conditions for polynomial convexity with degree…

We generalize the notions of F-regular and F-pure rings to pairs $(R,\a^t)$ of rings $R$ and ideals $\a \subset R$ with real exponent $t > 0$, and investigate these properties. These ``F-singularities of pairs'' correspond to singularities…

A complex number alpha is said to satisfy the height reducing property if there is a finite subset F of the ring Z of the rational integers such that Z[alpha]=F[alpha]. This problem of finding F has been considered by several authors,…

We apply the Inclusion-Exclusion Principle to a unique pair of prime number subsequences to determine whether these subsequences form a small set or a large set and thus whether the infinite sum of the inverse of their terms converges or…

This paper is concerned with the tight closure of an ideal $I$ in a commutative Noetherian ring $R$ of prime characteristic $p$. The formal definition requires, on the face of things, an infinite number of checks to determine whether or not…

We consider the problem of translating between irreducible closed sets and implicational bases in closure systems. To date, the complexity status of this problem is widely open, and it is further known to generalize the notorious hypergraph…

Let $(R, \frak m)$ be a Noetherian local ring, $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module. The aim of this paper is to prove a uniform formula for the index of reducibility of paprameter ideals of $M$ provided the polynomial type of $M$ is at most…

Convolution sums are introduced and special instances of the cyclic convolution on finite sets is examined in more detail. The distributions that emerge are multidimensional generalizations of the Catalan and Narayana numbers. This work…
