In this paper we show that the Rees algebra can be made into a functor on modules over a ring in a way that extends its classical definition for ideals. The Rees algebra of a module M may be computed in terms of a "maximal" map f from M to…

Let $R=K[x_1,...,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ and $I$ be a monomial ideal generated in degree $d$. Bandari and Herzog conjectured that a monomial ideal $I$ is polymatroidal if and only if all its monomial…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic 0, $f:\mathbb{N}\to K$ be a multiplicative function, and $F(z)=\sum_{n\geq 1} f(n)z^n\in K[[z]]$ be algebraic over $K(z)$. Then either there is a natural number $k$ and a periodic multiplicative function…

We present a variation of the modular algorithm for computing the Hermite Normal Form of an $\OK$-module presented by Cohen, where $\OK$ is the ring of integers of a number field K. The modular strategy was conjectured to run in polynomial…

The goal of this paper is to calculate explicitly the field index of any quintic number field $K$ generated by a complex root $\al$ of a monic irreducible trinomial $F(x) = x^5+ax+b \in \Z[x]$. In such a way we provide a complete answer to…

Let $R$ be a smooth affine algebra over an infinite perfect field $k$. Let $I\subset R$ be an ideal, $\omega_I:(R/I)^n\to I/I^2$ a surjective homomorphism and $Q_{2n}\subset \mathbb{A}^{2n+1}$ be the smooth quadric defined by the equation…

This note is an elaboration of the ideas and intuitions of Grothendieck and Weil concerning the "arithmetic topology". Given 3-dimensional manifold M fibering over the circle we introduce an real quadratic number field K with discriminant…

In this brief note we show that for a field extension $K/F$, $S=K[\![\mathbf{x}]\!]$ is a free $R=F[\![\mathbf{x}]\!]$-module precisely when $K/F$ is finite. We then raise the question \emph{what is the projective dimension of $S$?}

Let $\Lambda$ be a left and right noetherian ring and $\mod \Lambda$ the category of finitely generated left $\Lambda$-modules. In this paper we show the following results: (1) For a positive integer $k$, the condition that the subcategory…

Let $A = \mathbb{F}_q[T]$, $\mathfrak{p} \subset A$ prime, $f(x) \in A[x]$ irreducible and set $R = A[x]/f(x)$. Denote its completion by $R_\mathfrak{p}$. The ideal class monoid $\text{ICM}(R_\mathfrak{p})$ is the set of fractional…

The famous Jacobian Conjecture asks if a morphism $f:K[x,y]\to K[x,y]$ with invertible Jacobian, is invertible ($K$ is a characteristic zero field). A known result says that if $K[f(x),f(y)] \subseteq K[x,y]$ is an integral extension, then…

A number field $K$ is called \emph{monogenic} if its ring of integers $\mathbb{Z}_K$ can be expressed as a simple ring extension $\mathbb{Z}[\alpha]$ for some $\alpha \in \mathbb{Z}_K$. A monic irreducible polynomial $f(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$…

Let $R=\mathbb{K}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ and let $\mathfrak{a}_1,\dots,\mathfrak{a}_m$ be homogeneous ideals satisfying certain properties, which include a description of the Noetherian symbolic Rees algebra. We give a solution to a question of…

Let $\widetilde{G}$ be a split connected reductive group with connected center $Z$ over a local non-Archimedean field $F$ of residue characteristic $p$, let $\widetilde{K}$ be a hyperspecial maximal compact open subgroup in $\widetilde{G}$.…

The far field refractor problem with a discrete target is solved with a numerical scheme that uses and simplify ideas from Caffarelli, Kochengin and Oliker. A numerical implementation is carried out and examples are shown.

A central question in Arithmetic geometry is to determine for which polynomials $f \in \mathbb{Z}[t]$ and which number fields $K$ the Hasse principle holds for the affine equation $f(t) = N_{K/\mathbb{Q}}(\boldsymbol{x}) \neq 0$. Whilst…

Let $K$ be an algebraic number field and $H$ the absolute Weil height. Write $c_K$ for a certain positive constant that is an invariant of $K$. We consider the question: does $K$ contain an algebraic integer $\alpha$ such that both $K =…

Let $(K,M)$ be a pair satisfying some mild condition, where $K$ is a class of $R$-modules and $M$ is a class of $R$-homomorphisms. We show that if $f:A\rightarrow B$ and $g:B\rightarrow A$ are $M$-embeddings and $A,B$ are $K_M$-injective,…

Let $F(X)= \prod_{i=1}^k(a_iX+b_i)$ be a polynomial with $a_i, b_i$ being integers. Suppose the discriminant of $F$ is non-zero and $F$ is admissible. Given any natural number $N$, let $S(F,N)$ denotes those integers less than or equal to…

We prove the triviality of the Grothendieck ring of a integer-valued field K under slight conditions on the logical language and on K. We construct a definable bijection from the plane K^2 to itself minus a point. When we specialize to…
