B. Sturmfels and S. Sullivant associated to any graph a toric ideal, called the cut ideal. We consider monomial cut ideals and we show that their algebraic properties such as the minimal primary decomposition, the property of having a…

We apply the methods of algebraic reliability to the study of percolation on trees. To a complete $k$-ary tree $T_{k,n}$ of depth $n$ we assign a monomial ideal $I_{k,n}$ on $\sum_{i=1}^n k^i$ variables and $k^n$ minimal monomial…

In combinatorial commutative algebra and algebraic statistics many toric ideals are constructed from graphs. Keeping the categorical structure of graphs in mind we give previous results a more functorial context and generalize them by…

In this paper we study primality and primary decomposition of certain ideals which are generated by homogeneous degree $2$ polynomials and occur naturally from determinantal conditions. Normality is derived from these results.

In our recent work we described conditions under which a multi-parameter random simplicial complex is connected and simply connected. We showed that the Betti numbers of multi-parameter random simplicial complexes in one specific dimension…

We study the regularity and the projective dimension of the Stanley-Reisner ring of a $k$-decomposable simplicial complex and explain these invariants with a recursive formula. To this aim, the graded Betti numbers of $k$-decomposable…

We consider ideals in the ring $\mathbb{Z}_2[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$ that contain the polynomials $x_i^2 - x_i$ for $i = 1, \ldots, n$ and give various results related to the one-to-one correspondence between these ideals and the subsets of…

Permutations of correlated sequences of random variables appear naturally in a variety of applications such as graph matching and asynchronous communications. In this paper, the asymptotic statistical behavior of such permuted sequences is…

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…

Let $I_n$ be the ideal of all algebraic relations on the slopes of the $\binom{n}{2}$ lines formed by placing $n$ points in a plane and connecting each pair of points with a line. Under each of two natural term orders, the initial ideal of…

Triangular distributions are a well-known class of distributions that are often used as an elementary example of a probability model. Maximum likelihood estimation of the mode parameter of the triangular distribution over the unit interval…

In the first part of this paper we study scrollers and linearly joined varieties. A particular class of varieties, of important interest in classical Geometry are Cohen--Macaulay varieties of minimal degree. They appear naturally studying…

We consider a uniform distribution on the set $\mathcal{M}_k$ of moments of order $k \in \mathbb{N}$ corresponding to probability measures on the interval $[0,1]$. To each (random) vector of moments in $\mathcal{M}_{2n-1}$ we consider the…

Given a local Cohen-Macaulay ring $(R, {\mathfrak m})$, we study the interplay between the integral closedness -- or even the normality -- of an ${\mathfrak m}$-primary $R$-ideal $I$ and conditions on the Hilbert coefficients of $I$. We…

Considering finite extensions K[A] \subseteq K[B] of positive affine semigroup rings over a field K we have developed in [1] an algorithm to decompose K[B] as a direct sum of monomial ideals in K[A]. By computing the regularity of…

We introduce the combinatorial Lyubeznik resolution of monomial ideals. We prove that this resolution is isomorphic to the usual Lyubezbnik resolution. As an application, we give a combinatorial method to determine if an ideal is a…

We discuss a general method to construct correlated binomial distributions by imposing several consistent relations on the joint probability function. We obtain self-consistency relations for the conditional correlations and conditional…

Let $K$ be an infinite field and let $I = (f_1,\cdots,f_r)$ be an ideal in the polynomial ring $R = K[x_1,\cdots,x_n]$ generated by generic forms of degrees $d_1,\cdots,d_r$. A longstanding conjecture by Fr\"{o}berg predicts the shape of…

We consider vector-spread Borel ideals. We show that these ideals have linear quotients and thereby we determine the graded Betti numbers and the bigraded Poincar\'e series. A characterization of the extremal Betti numbers of such a class…

Powers of (monomial) ideals is a subject that still calls attraction in various ways. Let $I\subset \mathbb K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be a monomial ideal and let $G(I)$ denote the (unique) minimal monomial generating set of $I$. How small can…
