We survey classical and recent results on symbolic powers of ideals. We focus on properties and problems of symbolic powers over regular rings, on the comparison of symbolic and regular powers, and on the combinatorics of the symbolic…
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 introduce and study rational symbolic powers of ideals in Noetherian rings. We give membership criteria for rational symbolic powers and discuss settings where they agree with integer symbolic powers. We investigate the binomial…
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 compute the regularity of powers and symbolic powers of edge ideals of all cubic circulant graphs. In particular, we establish Conjecture of Minh for cubic circulant graphs.
Given a radical ideal $I$ in a regular ring $R$, the Containment Problem of symbolic and ordinary powers of $I$ consists of determining when the containment $I^{(a)} \subseteq I^b$ holds. By work of Ein-Lazersfeld-Smith, Hochster-Huneke and…
In this paper we propose two guiding principles that suggest a number of conjectures (some now proved) about various forms of rigidity for moduli spaces arising in algebraic geometry. Such conjectures have group-theoretic, topological and…
Guided by evidence coming from a few key examples and attempting to unify previous work of Chudnovsky, Esnault-Viehweg, Eisenbud-Mazur, Ein-Lazarsfeld-Smith, Hochster-Huneke and Bocci-Harbourne, Harbourne and Huneke recently formulated a…
Inspired by the recent results toward Birkhoff conjecture (a rigidity property of billiards in ellipses), we discuss two rigidity properties of conics. The first one concerns symmetries of an analog of polar duality associated with an oval,…
Recently, it has been proven that a tensegrity framework that arises from coning the one-skeleton of a convex polytope is rigid. Since such frameworks are not always infinitesimally rigid, this leaves open the question as to whether they…
We give explicit criteria that imply the resurgence of a self-radical ideal in a regular ring is strictly smaller than its codimension, which in turn implies that the stable version of Harbourne's conjecture holds for such ideals. This…
We study the regularity of small symbolic powers and integral closure of small powers of edge ideals. We also prove that the regularity of integral closure of powers of edge ideals of graphs with at most two odd cycles is the same as the…
Rational twisted power series over a (commutative) field are studied. We give several characterizations of such series, which are similar to the classical results concerning rational power series over a commutative field. In particular, we…
Given that symbolic and ordinary powers of an ideal do not always coincide, we look for conditions on the ideal such that equality holds for every natural number. This paper focuses on studying the equality for Derksen ideals defined by…
A central question in dynamics is whether the topology of a system determines its geometry. This is known as rigidity. Under mild topological conditions rigidity holds for many classical cases, including: Kleinian groups, circle…
Motivated by an amazing integrality structure conjecture for the $U(N)$ Chern-Simons quantum invariants of framed knots investigated by Mari\~no and Vafa, a new conjectural formula, named Hecke lifting conjecture, was proposed in…
This is meant to be a survey article for the Cubo Journal. We discuss the existence and number of rational points over a finite field, the Hodge type over the complex numbers, and the motivic conjectures which are controlling those…
We formulate a "correct" version of the Quillen conjecture on linear group homology for certain arithmetic rings and provide evidence for the new conjecture. In this way we predict that the linear group homology has a direct summand looking…
In this short note we prove the Borel conjecture for a family of aspherical manifolds that includes higher graph manifolds.
We consider the following question concerning the equality of ordinary and symbolic powers of ideals. In a regular local ring, if the ordinary and symbolic powers of a one-dimensional prime ideal are the same up to its height, then are they…
