Given a point z in P^1, let F(z) be the osculating flag to the rational normal curve at point z. The study of Schubert problems with respect to such flags F(z_1), F(z_2), ..., F(z_r) has been studied both classically and recently,…
This paper focuses on the characterization for the regular and limiting normal cones to the graph of the subdifferential mapping of the nuclear norm, which is essential to derive optimality conditions for the equivalent MPEC (mathematical…
Let $(R, \mathfrak{m} )$ be a Noetherian local ring, $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module of dimension $d$. Set $\mathfrak{a}(M):=\mathfrak{a}_0(M)\cdots \mathfrak{a}_{d-1}(M)$, where $\mathfrak{a}_i(M):={\rm Ann}_RH^i_{\mathfrak{m}}(M)$ for…
Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring with canonical module that is generically Gorenstein. In this paper, I prove isomorphisms relating the minimal MCM approximations and minimal FID hulls of modules constructed from a…
This is a survey of recent examples of varieties that are not stably rational. We review the specialization method based on properties of the Chow group of zero-cycles used in these examples and explain the point of view of unramified…
In this note we present a notion of fundamental scheme for Cohen- Macaulay, order 1, irreducible congruences of lines. We show that such a congruence is formed by the k-secant lines to its fundamental scheme for a number k that we call the…
The proximal, regular and limiting normal cones to the second-order cone complementarity set play important roles in studying mathematical programs with second-order cone complementarity constraints, second-order cone programs, and the…
We give an explicit presentation for each lower bound cluster algebra. Using this presentation, we show that each lower bound algebra Grobner degenerates to the Stanley-Reisner scheme of a vertex-decomposable ball or sphere, and is thus…
In this paper, we explore a relationship between Hilbert functions and the irreducible decompositions of ideals in local rings. Applications are given to characterize the regularity, Gorensteinness, Cohen-Macaulayness and sequentially…
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring with identity (not necessarily local) and $\frak a$ a proper ideal of $R$. We study the invariance of some classes of $\frak a$-relative Cohen-Macaulay modules under pure ring homomorphisms and ring…
We first provide here a very short proof of a refinement of a theorem of Kodiyalam and Cutkosky, Herzog and Trung on the regularity of powers of ideals. This result implies a conjecture of H\`a and generalizes a result of Eisenbud and…
A normal (respectively, graded normal) vector configuration $A$ defines the toric ideal $I_A$ of a normal (respectively, projectively normal) toric variety. These ideals are Cohen-Macaulay, and when $A$ is normal and graded, $I_A$ is…
In this paper we study the Hilbert coefficients the fiber cone. We also compare the depths of the fiber cone and the associated graded ring.
New upper bounds on the first and the second Hilbert coefficients of a Cohen-Macaulay module over a local ring are given. Characterizations are provided for some upper bounds to be attained. The characterizations are given in terms of…
We introduce a natural map from the space of pure-type complex differential forms on a complex manifold to the corresponding one on the infinitesimal deformations of this complex manifold. By use of this map, we generalize an extension…
We study one-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay rings whose trace ideal of the canonical module is as small as possible. In this paper we call such rings far-flung Gorenstein rings. We investigate far-flung Gorenstein rings in relation with the…
When studying a graded module $M$ over the Cox ring of a smooth projective toric variety $X$, there are two standard types of resolutions commonly used to glean information: free resolutions of $M$ and vector bundle resolutions of its…
We determine in an explicit way the depth of the fiber cone and its relation ideal for classes of monomial ideals in two variables. These classes include concave and convex ideals as well as symmetric ideals.
This paper uses dualities between facet ideal theory and Stanley-Reisner theory to show that the facet ideal of a simplicial tree is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay. The proof involves showing that the Alexander dual (or the cover dual, as we…
Consider the diagonal action of the special orthogonal group on the direct sum of a finite number of copies of the standard representation--the underlying field is assumed to be algebraically closed and of characteristic not equal to two.…
