We show that for a generic $8$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with positive Ricci curvature, there exists a smooth minimal hypersurface. Without the curvature condition, we show that for a dense set of 8-dimensional Riemannian metrics…

Let $I$ be a monomial ideal in a polynomial ring $A=K[x_1,...,x_n]$. We call a monomial ideal $J$ to be a minimal monomial reduction ideal of $I$ if there exists no proper monomial ideal $L \subset J$ such that $L$ is a reduction ideal of…

Let $(\mathcal{O}_n, \mathfrak{m})$ denote the ring of germs of holomorphic functions $\mathbb{C}^n\to \mathbb{C}$, and let $I\subseteq \mathcal{O}_n$ be an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal. Demailly and Pham showed that $\mathrm{lct}(I) \geq…

Consider a height two ideal, $I$, which is minimally generated by $m$ homogeneous forms of degree $d$ in the polynomial ring $R=k[x,y]$. Suppose that one column in the homogeneous presenting matrix $\f$ of $I$ has entries of degree $n$ and…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a local Noetherian ring with residue field $k$. While much is known about the generating sets of reductions of ideals of $R$ if $k$ is infinite, the case in which $k$ is finite is less well understood. We…

Let A be a commutative ring and I an ideal of A with a reduction Q. In this paper we give an upper bound on the reduction number of I with respect to Q, when a suitable family of ideals in A is given. As a corollary it follows that if some…

Let $n\geqslant 3$ be a natural number. We study the problem to find the smallest $r$ such that there is a family $\mathcal{A}$ of 2-subsets and 3-subsets of $[n]=\{1,2,...,n\}$ with the following properties: (1) $\mathcal{A}$ is an…

We give a bound on the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of a homogeneous ideals I, in a polynomial ring A, in terms of number of variables and the degrees of generators, when the dimension of A/I is at most two. This bound improves the one…

We construct algebraic surfaces with a large number of type A singularities. Bivariate polynomials presented in previous works for the construction of nodal surfaces and certain families of Belyi polynomials are used. In some cases explicit…

We consider an area-minimizing integral current $T$ of codimension higher than $1$ in a smooth Riemannian manifold $\Sigma$. In a previous paper we have subdivided the set of interior singular points with at least one flat tangent cone…

The authors introduced the notion of $p_g$-ideals for two-dimensional excellent normal local domain over an algebraicaly closed field in terms of resolution of singularities. In this note, we give several ring-theoretic characterization of…

It is proved that if $D$ is a $UFD$ and $R$ is a $D$-algebra, such that $U(R)\cap D\neq U(D)$, then $R$ has a maximal subring. In particular, if $R$ is a ring which either contains a unit $x$ which is not algebraic over the prime subring of…
