A combinatorial property that characterizes Cohen-Macaulay binomial edge ideals has long been elusive. A recent conjecture ties the Cohen-Macaulayness of a binomial edge ideal $J_G$ to special disconnecting sets of vertices of its…

Let $R$ be a Cohen-Macaulay local domain. In this paper we study the cone of Cohen-Macaulay modules inside the Grothendieck group of finitely generated $R$-modules modulo numerical equivalences, introduced in \cite{CK}. We prove a result…

Let $a$ and $d$ be two linearly independent vectors in $\mathbb{N}^2$, over the field of rational numbers. For a positive integer $k \geq 2$, consider the sequence $a, a+d, \ldots, a+kd$ such that the affine semigroup $S_{a,d,k} = \langle…

Let G be a bipartite graph with edge ideal I(G) whose quotient ring R/I(G) is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay. We prove: (1) the independence complex of G must be vertex decomposable, and (2) the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of R/I(G) can be…

We prove that in the unramified case, local models of Shimura varieties with Iwahori level structure are normal and Cohen Macaulay.

We provide a transformation rule for adjoint test modules along Cohen--Macaulay maps between Cohen--Macaulay varieties that have $F$-rational geometric fibers. This is, in part, an effective version of Enescu's theorem on the ascent of…

Dub\'e introduced cone decompositions and their Macaulay constants and used them to obtain an upper bound on the degrees of the generators in a Gr\"obner basis of an ideal. Liang extended the theory to submodules of a free module. In this…

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph with the vertex set $V$ and let $I_G$ be its edge ideal in the polynomial ring $S=\mathbb{K}[x_V]$. In this paper, we compute the depth and the Castelnuovo--Mumford regularity of $S/I_G$ when $G=G_1\circ…

In this paper we study the properties of the normal cone to the proximally smooth set. We give the complete characterization of the proximally smooth set through the monotony properties of its normal cone in an arbitrary uniformly convex…

We prove the existence of many non-trivial characteristic classes of smooth oriented bundles with fibre a product $ S^{n}\times S^{n} $ of odd-dimensional spheres. We do so by proving injectivity of the map from the ring of rational…

In this paper we study ideals of points lying on rational normal curves defined in projective plane and projective $ 3 $-space. We give an explicit formula for the value of Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity for their ordinary powers. Moreover,…

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 describe rational knots with any of the possible combinations of the properties (a)chirality, (non-)positivity, (non-)fiberedness, and unknotting number one (or higher), and determine exactly their number for a given number of crossings…

Let X\subset PP^n be a projective scheme over a field, and let phi:X --> Y be a finite morphism. Our main result is a formula in terms of global data for the maximum of the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the fibers of \phi, considered as…

Let $I_G$ be the binomial edge ideal on the generic 2 x n - Hankel matrix associated with a closed graph $G$ on the vertex set [n]. We characterize the graphs $G$ for which $I_G$ has maximal regularity and is Gorenstein.

A concrete description of all graded maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules of rank one and two over the affine cone of the simple node (a non-isolated singularity) is given. For this purpose we construct an alghoritm that provides extensions of…

Let $(A,\mathfrak m)$ be a Noetherian local ring of dimension $d>0$ with infinite residue field and $I$ an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal. Let $\mathcal I$ be an $I$-good filtration. We study an equality of Hilbert coefficients, first given…

Due to a result by Gallot a Riemannian cone over a complete Riemannian manifold is either flat or has an irreducible holonomy representation. This is false in general for indefinite cones but the structures induced on the cone by holonomy…

Let G be a simple undirected graph on n vertices, and let I(G) \subseteq R = k[x_1,...,x_n] denote its associated edge ideal. We show that all chordal graphs G are sequentially Cohen-Macaulay; our proof depends upon showing that the…
