Two well studied invariants of a complex projective variety are the unit Euclidean distance degree and the generic Euclidean distance degree. These numbers give a measure of the algebraic complexity for "nearest" point problems of the…
Consider a grade 2 perfect ideal $I$ in $R=k[x_1,\cdots,x_d]$ which is generated by forms of the same degree. Assume that the presentation matrix $\varphi$ is almost linear, that is, all but the last column of $\varphi$ consist of entries…
Let $S$ be a polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ of characteristic $0$. A numerical characterization of all possible extremal Betti numbers of any graded submodule of a finitely generated graded free $S$-module is given.
We show that large subsets of vector spaces over finite fields determine certain point configurations with prescribed distance structure. More specifically, we consider the complete graph with vertices as the points of $A \subseteq…
We compute the dimension of the Hilbert scheme of subvarieties of positive dimension in projective space which are cut by maximal minors of a matrix with polynomial entries.
Explicit formulas determining the dimension and the degree of the singular subscheme of hypersurfaces in ${\mathbb P}^n$ are given in terms of the graded Betti numbers of the minimal free resolution of the corresponding Jacobian algebra.…
We use purely combinatorial arguments to give a formula to compute all graded Betti numbers of path ideals of line graphs and cycles. As a consequence we can give new and short proofs for the known formulas of regularity and projective…
The Hurwitz form of a projective variety characterizes linear spaces of complementary dimension which meet the variety non-transversally. We extend this notion to varieties in a product of projective spaces. This parallels the multigraded…
We study the degree landscape of the partition graph $G_n$, whose vertices are the integer partitions of $n$ and whose edges correspond to elementary transfers of one unit between parts, followed by reordering. Using the previously…
Classical Castelnuovo Lemma shows that the number of linearly independent quadratic equations of a nondegenerate irreducible projective variety of codimension $c$ is at most ${{c+1} \choose {2}}$ and the equality is attained if and only if…
In this article bipartite planar graphs St_r are investigated, r the number of their plane regions. Bounds for the graded Betti numbers and the projective dimension of the quotient ring associated to such graphs are discussed. We prove that…
One proves a far-reaching upper bound for the degree of a generically finite rational map between projective varieties over a base field of arbitrary characteristic. The bound is expressed as a product of certain degrees that appear…
Using basic properties of perverse sheaves, we give new upper bounds for compactly supported Betti numbers for arbitrary affine varieties in $\mathbb{A}^n$ defined by $r$ polynomial equations of degrees at most $d$. As arithmetic…
We consider complex projective schemes $X\subset\Bbb{P}^{r}$ defined by quadratic equations and satisfying a technical hypothesis on the fibres of the rational map associated to the linear system of quadrics defining $X$. Our assumption is…
Maximum likelihood degree of a projective variety is the number of critical points of a general likelihood function. In this note, we compute the Maximum likelihood degree of Fermat hypersurfaces. We give a formula of the Maximum likelihood…
We present various facts on the graded Betti table of a projectively embedded toric surface, expressed in terms of the combinatorics of its defining lattice polygon. These facts include explicit formulas for a number of entries, as well as…
Let $\operatorname{pd}(I(G))$ and $\operatorname{reg}(I(G))$ respectively denote the projective dimension and the regularity of the edge ideal $I(G)$ of a graph $G$. For any positive integer $n$, we determine all pairs…
We classify all convex polyomino ideals which are linearly related or have a linear resolution. Convex stack polyominoes whose ideals are extremal Gorenstein are also classified. In addition, we characterize, in combinatorial terms, the…
Cut ideals, introduced by Sturmfels and Sullivant, are used in phylogenetics and algebraic statistics. We study the minimal free resolutions of cut ideals of tree graphs. By employing basic methods from topological combinatorics, we obtain…
Let $R=\k[x,y,z]$ and $I=(f_0,\dots,f_{n-1})$ be a height two perfect ideal which is almost linearly presented (that is, all but the last column have linear entries, but the last column has entries which are homogeneous of degree $2$).…
