Let $k$ be a field of positive characteristic and $R = k[x_0,\dots, x_n]$. We consider ideals $I\subseteq R$ generated by homogeneous polynomials of degree $d$. Takagi and Watanabe proved that $\mathrm{fpt}(I)\geq \mathrm{height}(I)/d$; we…

Let $G$ be an (oriented) graph on the vertex set $V = \{ 0, 1,\ldots,n\}$ with root $0$. Postnikov and Shapiro associated a monomial ideal $\mathcal{M}_G$ in the polynomial ring $ R = {\mathbb{K}}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ over a field $\mathbb{K}$.…

Recently, Ficarra and Sgroi initiated the study of v-numbers of powers of graded ideals. They proved that for a graded ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring $S$, $\mathrm{v}(I^k)$ is a linear function in $k$ for $k>>0$. Later, Ficarra conjectured…

We show that if $(R, \m)$ is a Cohen-Macaulay local ring and $I$ is an ideal of minimal mixed multiplicity, then $\depth G(I) \geq d- 1$ implies that $\depth F(I) \geq d-1$. We use this to show that if $I$ is a contracted ideal in a two…

Our starting point is a basic problem in Hermite interpolation theory, namely determining the least degree of a homogeneous polynomial that vanishes to some specified order at every point of a given finite set. We solve this problem if the…

Let $R=\mathbb{K}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$, a graded algebra $S=R/I$ satisfies $N_{k,p}$ if $I$ is generated in degree $k$, and the graded minimal resolution is linear the first $p$ steps, and the $k$-index of $S$ is the largest $p$ such that $S$…

Let $d_1,...,d_r$ be positive integers and let $I = (F_1,...,F_r)$ be an ideal generated by general forms of degrees $d_1,...,d_r$, respectively, in a polynomial ring $R$ with $n$ variables. When all the degrees are the same we give a…

Let $S=K[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over a field $K$ and $I\subset S$ be a squarefree monomial ideal generated in degree $n-2$. Motivated by the remarkable behavior of the powers of $I$ when $I$ admits a linear resolution, as…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field and $I$ be a square-free monomial ideal in the polynomial ring $\mathbb{K}[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$. The Green-Lazarsfeld index, $\mathrm{index}(I)$, counts the number of steps to reach to a syzygy minimally generated…

Let $\Delta$ be a pure simplicial complex and $I_\Delta$ its Stanley-Reisner ideal in a polynomial ring $S$. We show that $\Delta$ is a matroid (complete intersection) if and only if $S/I_\Delta^{(m)}$ ($S/I_\Delta^m$) is clean for all…

Given a partial action $\alpha$ of a groupoid $G$ on a ring $R$, we study the associated partial skew groupoid ring $R \rtimes_{\alpha} G$, which carries a natural $G$-grading. We show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the…

We study the regularity of symbolic powers of square-free monomial ideals. We prove that if $I = I_\Delta$ is the Stanley-Reisner ideal of a simplicial complex $\Delta$, then $\reg(I^{(n)}) \leqslant \delta(n-1) +b$ for all $n\geqslant 1$,…

Given a squarefree monomial ideal $I$ of a polynomial ring $Q$, we show that if the minimal free resolution $\mathbb{F}$ of $Q/I$ admits the structure of a differential graded (dg) algebra, then so does any ``pruning" of $\mathbb{F}$. In…

We consider the fiber cone of monomial ideals. It is shown that for monomial ideals $I\subset K[x,y]$ of height $2$, generated by $3$ elements, the fiber cone $F(I)$ of $I$ is a hypersurface ring, and that $F(I)$ has positive depth for…

Let $f_1,...,f_s \in \mathbb{K}[x_1,...,x_m]$ be a system of polynomials generating a zero-dimensional ideal $\I$, where $\mathbb{K}$ is an arbitrary algebraically closed field. Assume that the factor algebra $\A=\mathbb{K}[x_1,...,x_m]/\I$…

We introduce and study the defect function associated to a pair of filtrations of ideals, which generalizes the symbolic defect of ideals. Under the assumption that the Rees algebra of one filtration is Noetherian and that a natural graded…

Let $R$ be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring of dimension $d$ with infinite residue field. Let $I$ be an $R$-ideal that has analytic spread $\ell(I)=d$, $G_d$ condition and the Artin-Nagata property $AN^-_{d-2}$. We provide a formula relating the…

The distance ideals of graphs are algebraic invariants that generalize the Smith normal form (SNF) and the spectrum of several distance matrices associated with a graph. In general, distance ideals are not monotone under taking induced…

Let $G$ be a Cameron--Walker graph on $n$ vertices and $J_G$ the binomial edge ideal of $G$. Let $S$ denote the polynomial ring in $2n$ variables over a field. It is shown that the following conditions are equivalent: (i) $S/J_G$ is…

Conca and Varbaro (Invent. Math. 221 (2020), no. 3) showed the equality of depth of a graded ideal and its initial ideal in a polynomial ring when the initial ideal is square-free. In this paper, we give some beautiful applications of this…
