We find a class of block graphs whose binomial edge ideals have minimal regularity. As a consequence, we characterize the trees whose binomial edge ideals have minimal regularity. Also, we show that the binomial edge ideal of a block graph…

Convex neural codes are combinatorial structures describing the intersection pattern of a collection of convex sets. Inductively pierced codes are a particularly nice subclass of neural codes introduced in the information visualization…

We consider the translational hull $\Omega(I)$ of an arbitrary subsemigroup $I$ of an endomorphism monoid $\mathrm{End}(A)$ where $A$ is a universal algebra. We give conditions for every bi-translation of $I$ to be realised by…

Expanding on the work of Fouli and Vassilev \cite{FV}, we determine a formula for the *-$\rm{core}$ of an ideal in two different settings: (1) in a Cohen--Macaulay local ring of characteristic $p>0$, perfect residue field and test ideal of…

Let $G$ be a finite simple connected graph on $[n]$ and $R = K[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$. The edge ideal of $G$ is the ideal $I(G)$ of $R$ which is generated by those monomials $x_ix_j$ for…

The peak algebra is a unital subalgebra of the symmetric group algebra, linearly spanned by sums of permutations with a common set of peaks. By exploiting the combinatorics of sparse subsets of [n-1] (and of certain classes of compositions…

In the setting of step two Carnot groups, we show a "cone property" for horizontally convex sets. Namely we prove that, given a horizontally convex set $C$, a pair of points $P\in \partial C$ and $Q\in $ int $C$, both belonging to a…

High proved the following theorem. If the intersections of any two congruent copies of a plane convex body are centrally symmetric, then this body is a circle. In our paper we extend the theorem of High to the sphere and the hyperbolic…

Let (P,<) be a finite poset and let G be its comparability graph. If cl(G) is the clutter of maximal cliques of G, we prove that cl(G) satisfies the max-flow min-cut property and that its edge ideal is normally torsion free. We prove that…

We consider the convex quadratic optimization problem with indicator variables and arbitrary constraints on the indicators. We show that a convex hull description of the associated mixed-integer set in an extended space with a quadratic…

The illumination number $I(K)$ of a convex body $K$ in Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^d$ is the smallest number of directions that completely illuminate the boundary of a convex body. A cap body $K_c$ of a ball is the convex hull of a…

Let C be a clutter and let I(C) be its edge ideal. This is a survey paper on the algebraic and combinatorial properties of R/I(C) and C, respectively. We give a criterion to estimate the regularity of R/I(C) and apply this criterion to give…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in $\Re^2$. For a parameter $\varepsilon\in (0,1)$, a subset $C\subseteq P$ is an \emph{$\varepsilon$-kernel} of $P$ if the projection of the convex hull of $C$ approximates that of $P$ within…

Let us have in S^2, R^2 or H^2 a pair of convex bodies, for S^2 different from S^2, such that the intersections of any congruent copies of them are centrally symmetric. Then our bodies are congruent circles. If the intersections of any…

Let $R$ be a normal Noetherian local domain of Krull dimension two. We examine intersections of rank one discrete valuation rings that birationally dominate $R$. We restrict to the class of prime divisors that dominate $R$ and show that if…

Let K denote an algebraically closed field. We study the relation between an ideal I in K[x1,...,xn] and its cross sections I_a=I+<x1-a>. In particular, we study under what conditions I can be recovered from the set I_S={(a,I_a):a in S}…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $M$ be an $R$-module, and let $I(R)^*$ be the set of all non-trivial ideals of $R$. The $M$-intersection graph of ideals of $R$, denoted by $G_M(R)$, is a graph with the vertex set $I(R)^*$, and two…

A quasi-complete intersection (q.c.i.) ideal of a local ring is an ideal with "free exterior Koszul homology"; the definition can also be understood in terms of vanishing of Andr\'e-Quillen homology functors. Principal q.c.i. ideals are…

A graph is called weakly perfect if its vertex chromatic number equals its clique number. Let $R$ be a ring and $I(R)^*$ be the set of all left proper non-trivial ideals of $R$. The intersection graph of ideals of $R$, denoted by $G(R)$, is…

In network analysis, a measure of node centrality provides a scale indicating how central a node is within a network. The coreness is a popular notion of centrality that accounts for the maximal smallest degree of a subgraph containing a…
