Let $I$ be a monomial squarefree ideal of a polynomial ring $S$ over a field $K$ such that the sum of every three different of its minimal prime ideals is the maximal ideal of $S$, or more general a constant ideal. We associate to $I$ a…

For any polynomial ideal $I$, let the minimal triangular set contained in the reduced Buchberger-Gr\"obner basis of $I$ with respect to the purely lexicographical term order be called the W-characteristic set of $I$. In this paper, we…

Let $S=K[x_1, \ldots,x_n]$ denote the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ and let $I \subset S$ be a monomial ideal. For a vector $\mathfrak{c}\in\mathbb{N}^n$, we set $I_{\mathfrak{c}}$ to be the ideal generated by monomials…

Let $a, b$ and $n > 1$ be three positive integers such that $a$ and $\sum_{j=0}^{n-1} b^j$ are relatively prime. In this paper, we prove that the toric ideal $I$ associated to the submonoid of $\mathbb{N}$ generated by $\{\sum_{j=0}^{n-1}…

In this paper, we describe a new method to compute the minimum of a real polynomial function and the ideal defining the points which minimize this polynomial function, assuming that the minimizer ideal is zero-dimensional. Our method is a…

We study the ideal generated by polynomials vanishing on a semialgebraic set and propose an algorithm to calculate the generators, which is based on some techniques of the cylindrical algebraic decomposition. By applying these, polynomial…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field and $S=\mathbb{K}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over the field $\mathbb{K}$. Suppose that $\mathcal{C}$ is a chordal clutter with $n$ vertices and assume that the minimum edge…

Using symmetric algebras we simplify (and slightly strengthen) the Bruns-Eisenbud-Evans "generalized principal ideal theorem" on the height of order ideals of non-minimal generators in a module. We also obtain a simple proof and an…

A Steiner 2-design of block size k is an ordered pair (V, B) of finite sets such that B is a family of k-subsets of V in which each pair of elements of V appears exactly once. A Steiner 2-design is said to be r-even-free if for every…

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…

We introduce to the context of multigraded modules the methods of modules over categories from algebraic topology and homotopy theory. We develop the basic theory quite generally, with a view toward future applications to a wide class of…

Let $X$ be a completely regular topological space. We assign to each (set theoretic) ideal of $X$ an (algebraic) ideal of $C_B(X)$, the normed algebra of continuous bounded complex valued mappings on $X$ equipped with the supremum norm. We…

It follows from the Garloff-Wagner Theorem that the set of stable polynomials of degree $n$, denoted by $\mathcal{H}_n$, i.e., those whose zeros all lie in the open left complex half-plane, with the Hadamard product $*$, forms an abelian…

We introduce and study the minimum distance function of a graded ideal in a polynomial ring with coefficients in a field, and show that it generalizes the minimum distance of projective Reed-Muller-type codes over finite fields. This gives…

Let $R=k[x,y,z]$ be a standard graded $3$-variable polynomial ring, where $k$ denotes any field. We study grade $3$ homogeneous ideals $I \subseteq R$ defining compressed rings with socle $k(-s) \oplus k(-2s+1)$, where $s \geq3$ is some…

We display a new family of prime ideals with unbounded minimal number of generators in a three-dimensional power series ring over a field of characteristic zero. These primes are obtained as the kernel of a quasi-monomial algebra…

A \textit{symmetric ideal} $I \subseteq R = K[x_1,x_2,...]$ is an ideal that is invariant under the natural action of the infinite symmetric group. We give an explicit algorithm to find Gr\"obner bases for symmetric ideals in the infinite…

In this thesis we investigate certain types of monomial ideals of polynomial rings over fields. We are interested in minimal free resolutions of these ideals (or equivalently the quotients of the polynomial ring by the ideals) considered as…
