Let $S = K[x_1, ..., x_n ]$ be a polynomial ring over a field $K$, and $E = K < y_1, ..., y_n >$ an exterior algebra. The "linearity defect" $ld_E(N)$ of a finitely generated graded $E$-module $N$ measures how far $N$ departs from…
We introduce two new invariants of a Noetherian (standard graded) local ring $(R, \mathfrak m)$ that measure the number of generators of certain kinds of reductions of $\mathfrak m,$ and we study their properties. Explicitly, we consider…
The main focus of this paper is on the problem of relating an ideal $I$ in the polynomial ring $\mathbb Q[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ to a corresponding ideal in $\mathbb F_p[x_1,\dots, x_n]$ where $p$ is a prime number; in other words, the…
Let $(R, \mathfrak m)$ be a Noetherian local ring. In this work we extend the notion of mixed multiplicities of modules, given in \cite{Kleiman-Thorup2} and \cite{Kirby-Rees1} (see also \cite{Bedregal-Perez}), to an arbitrary family…
Let A be a local ring with maximal ideal m. For an arbitrary ideal I of A, we define the generalized Hilbert coefficients j_k(I) \in Z^{k+1} (k=0,1,...,dim A). When the ideal I is m-primary, j_k(I)=(0,...,0,(-1)^k e_k(I)), where e_k(I) is…
Let $A$ be a commutative noetherian ring and $I$ an ideal in $A$. We characterize algebraically when all the minimal primes of the associated graded ring $G_I A$ contract to minimal primes of $A/I$. This, applied to intersection theory,…
Suppose that R is an analytically irreducible or excellent local domain with maximal ideal m_R. We consider multiplicities and mixed multiplicities of R by filtrations of m_R-primary ideals. We show that the theorem of Teissier, Rees and…
Let $(R,\mathfrak m)$ be an analytically unramified local ring of positive prime characteristic $p.$ For an ideal $I$, let $I^*$ denote its tight closure. We introduce the tight Hilbert function $H^*_I(n)=\ell(R/(I^n)^*)$ and the…
Let $R$ be a local Gorenstein ring with infinite residue field of arbitrary characteristic. Let $I$ be an $R$--ideal with $g=\height I >0$, analytic spread $\ell$, and let $J$ be a minimal reduction of $I$. We further assume that $I$…
We prove that if M is a finitely-generated module of dimension d with finite local cohomologies over a Noetherian local ring, and if the ith local cohomology module of M is zero unless i = d, i = 0, and i = r for some r strictly between 0…
There is a natural epimorphism from the symmetric algebra to the Rees algebra of an ideal. When this epimorphism is an isomorphism, we say that the ideal is of linear type. Given two determinantal rings over a field, we consider the…
Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a quasi-unmixed local ring and $I$ an equimultiple ideal of $R$ of analytic spread $s$. In this paper, we introduce the equimultiple coefficient ideals. Fix $k\in \{1,...,s\}.$ The largest ideal $L$ containing $I$…
The Chern numbers of the title are the first coefficients (after the multiplicities) of the Hilbert functions of various filtrations of ideals of a local ring $(R, \mathfrak{m})$. For a Noetherian (good) filtration $\mathcal{A}$ of…
We settle a conjecture of Herzog and Hibi, which states that the function depth $S/Q^n$, $n \ge 1$, where $Q$ is a homogeneous ideal in a polynomial ring $S$, can be any convergent numerical function. We also give a positive answer to a…
Consider the rational map $\phi: \mathbb{P}^{n-1}_{\mathbf k} \stackrel{[f_0:\cdots: f_n]}{\longrightarrow} \mathbb{P}^{n}_{\mathbf k}$ defined by homogeneous polynomials $f_0,\dots,f_n$ of the same degree $d$ in a polynomial ring…
In the present paper, we characterize all possible Hilbert functions of graded ideals in a polynomial ring whose regularity is smaller than or equal to $d$, where $d$ is a positive integer. In addition, we prove the following result which…
Let $R$ be a polynomial ring and $I \subset R$ be a perfect ideal of height two minimally generated by forms of the same degree. We provide a formula for the multiplicity of the saturated special fiber ring of $I$. Interestingly, this…
We study closed subschemes $X$ in ${\mathbb P}^n$ of dimension one, locally defined at any point by at most $n$ equations such that the analytic spread of $I_{\mathfrak{m}}$ is at most $n$, where $I \subseteq \Bbbk[x_0, \ldots, x_n] $ is…
For an ideal I in a regular local ring (R,m)$ with residue class field K = R/m or a standard graded K-algebra R we show that for k >> 0 --> the Artin--Rees number of the syzygy modules of I^k as submodules of the free modules from a free…
Let $\H$ be a unimodular hypergraph over the vertex set $[n]$ and let $J(\H)$ be the cover ideal of $\H$ in the polynomial ring $R=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$. We show that $\reg J(\H)^s$ is a linear function in $s$ for all $s\geqslant r\left\lceil…
