Let I be a homogeneous ideal in a polynomial ring P over a field. By Macaulay's Theorem, there exists a lexicographic ideal L=Lex(I) with the same Hilbert function as I. Peeva has proved that the Betti numbers of P/I can be obtained from…

We give a numerical characterization of the possible extremal Betti numbers (values as well as positions) of any homogeneous ideal in a polynomial ring over a field.

Let $A, B$ be polynomial rings over a field $k$, and $I\subseteq A, J\subseteq B$ proper homogeneous ideals. We analyze the associated primes of powers of $I+J\subseteq A\otimes_k B$ given the data on the summands. The associated primes of…

Let $(\mathcal{O}_n, \mathfrak{m})$ denote the ring of germs of holomorphic functions $\mathbb{C}^n\to \mathbb{C}$, and let $I\subseteq \mathcal{O}_n$ be an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal. Demailly and Pham showed that $\mathrm{lct}(I) \geq…

In their paper on multiplicity bounds (1998), Herzog and Srinivasan study the relationship between the graded Betti numbers of a homogeneous ideal I in a polynomial ring R and the degree of I. For certain classes of ideals, they prove a…

Let K be a field and let S = K[x_1, ..., x_n] be a polynomial ring. Consider a homogenous ideal I in S. Let t_i denote reg(Tor_i (S/I, K)), the maximal degree of an ith syzygy of S/I. We prove bounds on the numbers t_i for i > n/2 purely in…

We study ideals generated by $n+1$ powers of general linear forms in $R= k[x_1,\dots,x_n]$. By generalizing the ideas in a recent paper of Diethorn et al., we determine the Betti numbers of such ideals when at least one generator is a…

For an ideal $I$ in a regular local ring or a graded ideal $I$ in the polynomial ring we study the limiting behavior of the Betti numbers of S/I^k as k goes to infinity. By Kodiyalam's result it is known that in each homological degree the…

Let $\mathbf{k}$ be a field which is either finite or algebraically closed and let $R = \mathbf{k}[x_1,\ldots,x_n].$ We prove that any $g_1,\ldots,g_s\in R$ homogeneous of positive degrees $\le d$ are contained in an ideal generated by an…

An ideal $I \subset \mathbb{k}[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ is said to have linear powers if $I^k$ has a linear minimal free resolution, for all $k$. In this paper we study the Betti numbers of $I^k$, for ideals $I$ with linear powers. The Betti…

In this article we investigate when a homogeneous ideal in a graded ring is normal, that is, when all positive powers of the ideal are integrally closed. We are particularly interested in homogeneous ideals in an N-graded ring generated by…

In a polynomial ring $R$ with $n$ variables, for every homogeneous ideal $I$ and for every $p\leq n$ we consider the Koszul homology $H_i(p,R/I)$ with respect to a sequence of $p$ of generic linear forms and define the Koszul-Betti number…

Boij-S\"oderberg theory describes the scalar multiples of Betti diagrams of graded modules over a polynomial ring as a linear combination of pure diagrams with positive coefficients. There are a few results that describe Boij-S\"oderberg…

The Eisenbud-Green-Harris conjecture states that a homogeneous ideal in k[x_1,...,x_n] containing a homogeneous regular sequence f_1,...,f_n with deg(f_i)=a_i has the same Hilbert function as an ideal containing x_i^{a_i} for 1 \leq i \leq…

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…

The Buchsbaum-Eisenbud-Horrocks rank conjecture proposes lower bounds for the Betti numbers of a graded module M based on the codimension of M. We prove a special case of this conjecture via Boij-Soederberg theory. More specifically, we…

Let $I$ be a monomial ideal in a polynomial ring $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ over a field $K$ with $n=2$ or $3$, and let $\overline{I}$ be its integral closure. We will show that $\text{reg} (\overline{I}) \le \text{reg} (I)$. Furthermore, if $I$…

Let I be a homogeneous ideal of a polynomial ring S. We prove that if the initial ideal J of I, w.r.t. a term order on S, is square-free, then the extremal Betti numbers of S/I and of S/J coincide. In particular, depth(S/I)=depth(S/J) and…
