In this paper, we present a new connection between representation theory of noncommutative hypersurfaces and combinatorics. Let $S$ be a graded ($\pm 1$)-skew polynomial algebra in $n$ variables of degree $1$ and $f =x_1^2 + \cdots +x_n^2…

Let $x_1,x_2,...,x_n$ be the zeroes of a polynomial P(x) of degree n and $y_1,y_2,...,y_m$ be the zeroes of another polynomial Q(y) of degree m. Our object of study is the permanent $\per(1/(x_i-y_j))_{1\le i\le n, 1\le j\le m}$, here named…

We introduce the decomposability spectrum $K_D=\{\lambda \geq \omega| D \text{is} \lambda\text{-decomposable}\}$ of an ultrafilter $D$, and show that Shelah's $\pcf$ theory influences the possible values $K_D$ can take. For example, we show…

For an $n \times n$ nonnegative matrix $P$, an isomorphism is obtained between the lattice of initial subsets (of ${1,...,n}$) for $P$ and the lattice of $P$-invariant faces of the nonnegative orthant $\IR^{n}_{+}$. Motivated by this…

Let $R$ be a polynomial ring in $N$ variables over an arbitrary field $K$ and let $I$ be an ideal of $R$ generated by $n$ polynomials of degree at most 2. We show that there is a bound on the projective dimension of $R/I$ that depends only…

A rational map whose source and image are projectively embedded varieties has an {\em Arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay graph} if the Rees algebra of one (hence any) of its base ideals is a Cohen-Macaulay ring. If the map is birational onto the…

We construct a generalize Ishida complex to compute the local cohomology with monomial support of modules over quotients of polynomial rings by cellular binomial ideals. As a consequence, we obtain a combinatorial criterion to determine…

The main result of the paper states that for a graded ideal I in a polynomial ring R over a field of characteristic 0, the Hilbert functions of the local cohomology modules of R/I and of R/Gin(I) coincide if and only if R/I is sequentially…

We prove orthogonality and compute explicitly the (quadratic) norms for super-Jack polynomials $SP_\lambda((z_1,\ldots,z_n),(w_1,\ldots,w_m);\theta)$ with respect to a natural positive semi-definite, but degenerate, Hermitian product…

Let $R$ be an algebra essentially of finite type over a field $k$ and let $\Omega_k(R)$ be its module of K\"ahler differentials over $k$. If $R$ is a homogeneous complete intersection and $\mathrm{char}(k)=0$, we prove that $\Omega_k(R)$ is…

In this paper we provide a full combinatorial characterization of sequentially Cohen-Macaulay binomial edge ideals of closed graphs. In addition, we show that a binomial edge ideal of a closed graph is approximately Cohen-Macaulay if and…

We show that the problem of deciding positivity of Kronecker coefficients is NP-hard. Previously, this problem was conjectured to be in P, just as for the Littlewood-Richardson coefficients. Our result establishes in a formal way that…

Let $I$ be a homogeneous ideal in the polynomial ring $R = k[z_1, \cdots, z_n]$ , where $k$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Macaulay's Theorem provides constraints on the Hilbert function of $I$ or $R/I$ from one…

Two-dimensional squarefree monomial ideals can be seen as the Stanley-Reisner ideals of graphs. The main results of this paper are combinatorial characterizations for the Cohen-Macaulayness of ordinary and symbolic powers of such an ideal…
