Motivated by a work of Knutson, in a recent paper Conca and Varbaro have defined a new class of ideals, namely "Knutson ideals", starting from a polynomial $f$ with squarefree leading term. We will show that the main properties that this…

We consider the class of all homogeneous, possibly non-reduced, polynomials $f$ whose associated reduced projective divisor $D_{\text{red}} \subset \mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ has (at worst) quasi-homogeneous isolated singularities. In an arbitrary…

We introduce a collection of polynomials $F_N$, associated to each positive integer $N$, whose divisibility properties yield a reformulation of the Goldbach conjecture. While this reformulation certainly does not lead to a resolution of the…

In 1982, Yano proposed a conjecture predicting the $b$-exponents of an irreducible plane curve singularity which is generic in its equisingularity class. In this article we prove the conjecture for the case of two Puiseux pairs and…

This paper is devoted to give all the technical constructions and definitions that will lead to the construction of an algorithm of resolution of singularities for binomial ideals. We construct a resolution function that will provide a…

We introduce a two-parameter modification of the cofinality invariant of ideals. This allows us to include the interaction of a pair of ideals in the study of base-like structures. We find the values (cardinal numbers or well-known cardinal…

We solve a special type of linear systems with coefficients in multivariate polynomial rings. These systems arise in the computation of parametric Bernstein-Sato polynomials associated with certain hypergeometric ideals in the Weyl algebra.

We survey results produced from the interaction between methods in prime characteristic and combinatorial commutative algebra. We showcase results for edge ideals, toric varieties, Stanley-Reisner rings, and initial ideals that were proven…

We consider ideals generated by general sets of $m$-minors of an $m\times n$-matrix of indeterminates. The generators are identified with the facets of an $(m-1)$-dimensional pure simplicial complex. The ideal generated by the minors…

Let G be a simple algebraic group over the complex numbers containing a Borel subgroup B. Given a B-stable ideal I in the nilradical of the Lie algebra of B, we define natural numbers $m_1, m_2, ..., m_k$ which we call ideal exponents. We…

We give an elementary proof of a Caratheodory-type result on the invertibility of a sum of matrices, due first to Facchini and Barioli. The proof yields a polynomial identity, expressing the determinant of a large sum of matrices in terms…

We introduce an efficient way, called Newton algorithm, to study arbitrary ideals in C[[x,y]], using a finite succession of Newton polygons. We codify most of the data of the algorithm in a useful combinatorial object, the Newton tree. For…

Suppose $I$ is an ideal of a polynomial ring over a field, $I\subseteq k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, and whenever $fg\in I$ with degree $\leq b$, then either $f\in I$ or $g\in I$. When $b$ is sufficiently large, it follows that $I$ is prime.…

Conjectured links between the distribution of values taken by the characteristic polynomials of random orthogonal matrices and that for certain families of L-functions at the centre of the critical strip are used to motivate a series of…

For a nonzero ideal I of C[x_1,...,x_n], with 0 in supp I, a generalization of a conjecture of Igusa - Denef - Loeser predicts that every pole of its topological zeta function is a root of its Bernstein-Sato polynomial. However, typically…

We define unimodular measures on the space of rooted simplicial complexes and associate to each measure a chain complex and a trace function. As a consequence, we can define $\ell^2$-Betti numbers of unimodular random rooted simplicial…

Using a probabilistic approach, we derive some interesting combinatorial identities involving gamma and beta functions. These results generalize certain well-known combinatorial identities involving binomial coefficients and special…

We begin by considering faithful matrix representations of elementary abelian groups in prime characteristic. The representations considered are seen to be determined up to change of bases by a single number. Studying this number leads to a…

We study asymptotic jumping numbers for graded sequences of ideals, and show that every such invariant is computed by a suitable real valuation of the function field. We conjecture that every valuation that computes an asymptotic jumping…

Specht polynomials classically realize the irreducible representations of the symmetric group. The ideals defined by these polynomials provide a strong connection with the combinatorics of Young tableaux and have been intensively studied by…
