Let $N\ge 4$. We show that, if $x_1,\dots,x_N$ and $y_1,\dots,y_N$ are $N$-tuples of strictly positive numbers whose arithmetic, geometric and harmonic means agree, then \[ \max_j x_j <(N-2)\max_j y_j \quad\text{and}\quad \min_j x_j…

Let $A(x)=A\_0+x\_1A\_1+...+x\_nA\_n$ be a linear matrix, or pencil, generated by given symmetric matrices $A\_0,A\_1,...,A\_n$ of size $m$ with rational entries. The set of real vectors x such that the pencil is positive semidefinite is a…

We consider an homogeneous ideal $I$ in the polynomial ring $S=K[x_1,\dots,$ $x_m]$ over a finite field $K=\mathbb{F}_q$ and the finite set of projective rational points $\mathbb{X}$ that it defines in the projective space…

For a given class of structured matrices $\mathbb S$, we find necessary and sufficient conditions on vectors $x,w\in \C^{n+m}$ and $y,z \in \C^{n}$ for which there exists $\Delta=[\Delta_1~\Delta_2]$ with $\Delta_1 \in \mathbb S$ and…

We define a new combinatorial object, which we call a labeled hypergraph, uniquely associated to any square-free monomial ideal. We prove several upper bounds on the regularity of a square-free monomial ideal in terms of simple…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m},\Bbbk)$ be a regular local ring of dimension 3. Let $I$ be a Gorenstein ideal of $R$ of grade 3. It follows from a result of Buchsbaum and Eisenbud that there is a skew-symmetric matrix of odd size such that $I$ is…

Over an infinite field $K$, we investigate the minimal free resolution of some configurations of lines. We explicitly describe the minimal free resolution of "complete grids of lines" and obtain an analogous result about the so-called…

We consider the NP-hard problem of minimizing a separable concave quadratic function over the integral points in a polyhedron, and we denote by D the largest absolute value of the subdeterminants of the constraint matrix. In this paper we…

We obtain nonasymptotic bounds on the spectral norm of random matrices with independent entries that improve significantly on earlier results. If $X$ is the $n\times n$ symmetric matrix with $X_{ij}\sim N(0,b_{ij}^2)$, we show that…

We characterize the variety of compatible fundamental matrix triples by computing its multidegree and multihomogeneous vanishing ideal. This answers the first interesting case of a question recently posed by Br{\aa}telund and Rydell. Our…

A modification of Newton's method for solving systems of $n$ nonlinear equations is presented. The new matrix-free method relies on a given decomposition of the invertible Jacobian of the residual into invertible sparse local Jacobians…

For an ideal $I\subseteq\mathbb{R}[x]$ given by a set of generators, a new semidefinite characterization of its real radical $I(V_\mathbb{R}(I))$ is presented, provided it is zero-dimensional (even if $I$ is not). Moreover we propose an…

We present some examples of squarefree monomial ideals whose arithmetical rank can be computed using linear algebraic considerations.

In this paper we investigate the class of rigid monomial ideals. We give a characterization of the minimal free resolutions of certain classes of these ideals. Specifically, we show that the ideals in a particular subclass of rigid monomial…

This paper gives an explicit formula for the multiplier ideals, and consequently for the log canonical thresholds, of any GL(V)xGL(W)-invariant ideal in the symmetric algebra S of the tensor product of V with the dual of W, where V and W…

For a monomial ideal $I$, let $G(I)$ be its minimal set of monomial generators. If there is a total order on $G(I)$ such that the corresponding Lyubeznik resolution of $I$ is a minimal free resolution of $I$, then $I$ is called a Lyubeznik…

The independence number of a square matrix $A$, denoted by $\alpha(A)$, is the maximum order of its principal zero submatrices. Let $S_n^{+}$ be the set of $n\times n$ nonnegative symmetric matrices with zero trace. Denote by $J_n$ the…

This paper is concerned with the question of whether geometric structures such as cell complexes can be used to simultaneously describe the minimal free resolutions of all powers of a monomial ideal. We provide a full answer in the case of…

Let (R, m) be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring and Q a parameter ideal of R. Suppose that an acyclic complex of length 3 which is an R-free resolution of an ideal I of R is given. In this paper, we describe a concrete procedure to get an acyclic…

In this article, we study the ideal generated by $2\times 2$ permanents of a symmetric matrix. We denote this ideal by $P_2(X)$ where $X$ is a symmetric matrix. We compute a Gr\"obner basis, dimension, depth, minimal primes, and a primary…
