The purpose of this note is to provide an overview of the containment problem for symbolic and ordinary powers of homogeneous ideals, related conjectures and examples. We focus here on ideals with zero dimensional support. This is an area…

We deal with the rigidity conjecture of symbolic powers over regular rings. This was asked by Huneke. Along with our investigation, we confirm a conjecture [7, Conjecture 3.8].

We develop tools to study the problem of containment of symbolic powers $I^{(m)}$ in powers $I^r$ for a homogeneous ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring $k[{\bf P}^N]$ in $N+1$ variables over an algebraically closed field $k$. We obtain results…

We introduce a "workable" notion of degree for non-homogeneous polynomial ideals and formulate and prove ideal theoretic B\'ezout Inequalities for the sum of two ideals in terms of this notion of degree and the degree of generators. We…

Some affirmative answers are given to Huneke's problems. The calculation of local cohomology modules with respect to an arbitrary pair of ideals $I,J$ can be reduced to calculation of local cohomology modules with respect to a pair of…

Inspired by the recent work of Lu and O'Rourke, we study the $a_i$-invariants of (symbolic) powers of some graded ideals. The first scenario is when $I$ and $J$ are two graded ideals in two distinct polynomial rings $R$ and $S$ over a…

Given a symbolic power of a homogeneous ideal in a polynomial ring, we study the problem of determining which powers of the ideal contain it. For ideals defining 0-dimensional subschemes of projective space, as an immediate corollary of our…

In this note we present a brief overview of variational methods to solve homogenization problems. The purpose is to give a first insight on the subject by presenting some fundamental theoretical tools, both classical and modern. We conclude…

We survey recent studies and results on the following problem: which numerical functions can be the depth function of powers and symbolic powers of homogeneous ideals.

In this note by using elementary considerations, we settle Fr\"oberg's conjecture for a large number of cases, when all generators of ideals have the same degree.

We give a revised version of Schmidt's treatment of forms in many variables, which allows us to prove a Hasse principle under more lenient conditions on the number of variables than what had previously been thought possible with these…

For digital images, there is an established homotopy equivalence relation which parallels that of classical topology. Many classical homotopy equivalence invariants, such as the Euler characteristic and the homology groups, do not remain…

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…

We consider some questions related to the signs of Hecke eigenvalues or Fourier coefficients of classical modular forms. One problem is to determine to what extent those signs, for suitable sets of primes, determine uniquely the modular…

In this survey article we give a brief history of symbolic powers and its connection with the interesting problem of set-theoretic complete intersection. We also state a few problems and conjectures. Recently, in connection to symbolic…

We present integral representations of solutions to division problems involving matrices of polynomials in several complex variables. We also find estimates of the polynomial degree of the solutions by means of careful degree estimates of…

Let $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over the field $K$, and let $I\subset S$ be a graded ideal. It is shown that for $k \gg0$ the postulation number of $I^k$ is bounded by a linear function of $k$, and it is a linear function…

Hochster and Huneke proved in \cite{HH5} fine behaviors of symbolic powers of ideals in regular rings, using the theory of tight closure. In this paper, we use generalized test ideals, which are a characteristic $p$ analogue of multiplier…

We collect some open problems about minimal presentations of numerical semigroups and, more generally, about defining ideals and free resolutions of their semigroup rings and associated graded rings. We emphasize both long-standing problems…

Inspired by the work of S. Ramanujan, many people have studied generalized modular equations and the numerous identities found by Ramanujan. These identities known as modular equations can be transformed into polynomial equations. There is…
