If $I$ is a perfect ideal in a local Cohen-Macaulay ring, the generators of ideals linked to $I$ are well understood. However, the generators of the residual intersections of $I$ have only been computed in a few special cases. In this…

The probability that a tuple of matrices together with all scalars generates a finite incidence ring is calculated. It is proved that all real and complex finite-dimensional incidence algebras are generated by two randomly chosen matrices.

We classify the growth of a $k$-regular sequence based on information from its $k$-kernel. In order to provide such a classification, we introduce the notion of a growth exponent for $k$-regular sequences and show that this exponent is…

We study the regularity and the algebraic properties of certain lattice ideals. We establish a map I --> I\~ between the family of graded lattice ideals in an N-graded polynomial ring over a field K and the family of graded lattice ideals…

We study well-rounded lattices which come from ideals in quadratic number fields, generalizing some recent results of the first author with K. Petersen. In particular, we give a characterization of ideal well-rounded lattices in the plane…

The acquisition of the defining equations of Rees algebras is a natural way to study these algebras and allows certain invariants and properties to be deduced. In this paper, we consider Rees algebras of codimension 2 perfect ideals of…

Let $X=(x_{ij})_{m\times n}$ be a matrix of indeterminates and let $S=\mathbb{k}[x_{ij} \mid 1\leq i\leq m,\ 1\leq j\leq n]$ be a polynomial ring over an infinite field $\mathbb{k}$. Let $I$ be an ideal generated by a subset of the set of…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero, let $I \subset S = K[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ be a homogeneous ideal, and let $\partial(I)$ be its gradient ideal. We study the relationship between $\mathrm{reg}\,I$ and $\mathrm{reg}\,\partial(I)$. While…

Let $G$ be a bipartite graph and $I=I(G)$ be its edge ideal. The aim of this note is to investigate different aspects of the Rees algebra $\mathcal{R}(I)$ of $I$. We compute its regularity and the universal Gr\"obner basis of its defining…

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.

Let $C \subseteq \P^d$ denote the rational normal curve of order $d$. Its homogeneous defining ideal $I_C \subseteq \QQ[a_0,...,a_d]$ admits an $SL_2$-stable filtration $J_2 \subseteq J_4 \subseteq ... \subseteq I_C$ by sub-ideals such that…

Let $\varphi : S = k[y_0,..., y_n] \to R = k[y_0,...,y_n]$ be given by $y_i \to f_i$ where $f_0,...,f_n$ is an $R$-regular sequence of homogeneous elements of the same degree. A recent paper shows for ideals, $I_\Delta \subseteq S$, of…

We deal with classes of prime ideals whose associated graded ring is isomorphic to the Rees algebra of the conormal module in order to describe the divisor class group of the Rees algebra and to examine the normality of the conormal module.

We introduce binomial edge ideals attached to a simple graph $G$ and study their algebraic properties. We characterize those graphs for which the quadratic generators form a Gr\"obner basis in a lexicographic order induced by a vertex…

A sequence is difference algebraic (or D-algebraic) if finitely many shifts of its general term satisfy a polynomial relationship; that is, they are the coordinates of a generic point on an affine hypersurface. The corresponding equations…

We study the defining equations of the Rees algebra of ideals arising from curve parametrizations in the plane and in rational normal scrolls, inspired by the work of Madsen and Kustin, Polini and Ulrich. The curves are related by work of…

Given a skew-symmetric matrix $X$, the Pfaffian of $X$ is defined as the square root of the determinant of $X$. In this article, we give the explicit defining equations of the Rees algebra of a Pfaffian ideal $I$ generated by the maximal…

In this article we study the defining ideal of Rees algebras of ideals of star configurations. We characterize when these ideals are of linear type and provide sufficient conditions for them to be of fiber type. In the case of star…

Let $R$ be a regular ring of dimension $d$ and $L$ be a $c$-divisible monoid. If ${K}_1{Sp}(R)$ is trivial and $k \geq d+2,$ then we prove that the symplectic group ${Sp}_{2k}(R[L])$ is generated by elementary symplectic matrices over…

The purpose of this note is to introduce a multiplication on the set of homogeneous polynomials of fixed degree d, in a way to provide a duality theory between monomial ideals of K[x_1,\ldots,x_d] generated in degrees \leq n and block…
