When we consider the action of a finite group on a polynomial ring, a polynomial unchanged by the action is called an invariant polynomial. A famous result of Noether states that in characteristic zero the maximal degree of a minimal…

Let $I$ be an ideal in a Noetherian ring $R$ and let $\widetilde{I}$ be its Ratliff-Rush closure. In this paper we study the asymptotic Ratliff-Rush number, i.e. $h(I)=\min\{n\in\mathbb N_+ \mid I^m=\widetilde{I^m}, \ \forall \ m\ge n\}$,…

Let $I$ be a weakly polymatroidal ideal or a squarefree monomial ideal of a polynomial ring $S$. In this paper we provide a lower bound for the Stanley depth of $I$ and $S/I$. In particular we prove that if $I$ is a squarefree monomial…

We consider the isoperimetric inequality involving the $s$-perimeter and the $t$-perimeter with $0<s<t<1$, and show that the ball is a local minimizer of the (scale-invariant) isoperimetric ratio $\mathcal{F}(E):=P_t(E)^{\frac{1}{n-t}}/…

The degree excess function $\epsilon(I;n)$ is the difference between the maximal generating degree $d(I^n)$ of a homogeneous ideal $I$ of a polynomial ring and $p(I)n$, where $p(I)$ is the leading coefficient of the asymptotically linear…

Given the Hilbert function $u$ of a closed subscheme of a projective space over an infinite field $K$, let $m_u$ and $M_u$ be, respectively, the minimum and the maximum among all the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularities of schemes with Hilbert…

We investigate the rational powers of ideals. We find that in the case of monomial ideals, the canonical indexing leads to a characterization of the rational powers yielding that symbolic powers of squarefree monomial ideals are indeed…

Stabilization is still a somewhat controversial issue concerning its very existence and also the precise conditions for its occurrence. The key quantity to settle these questions is the ionization probability, for which hitherto no…

Let $S$ be a polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field. Let $I$ be a homogeneous ideal in $S$ generated by forms of degree at most $d$ with $\text{dim}(S/I)=r$. In the first part of this paper, we show how to derive from a result of Hoa…

As a starting point of our research, we show that, for a fixed order $\gamma\geq 1$, each local minimizer of a rather general nonsmooth optimization problem in Euclidean spaces is either M-stationary in the classical sense (corresponding to…

For a local ring $(R, \M)$ of infinite residue field and positive depth, we address the question raised by H. Dao on how to control the asymptotic behaviour of the $\M$-full, full, and weakly $\M$-full properties of certain ideals (such…

We prove the regularity conjecture, namely Eisenbud-Goto conjecture, for a normal surface with rational, Gorenstein elliptic and log canonical singularities. Along the way, we bound the regularity for a dimension zero scheme by its Loewy…

When are asymptotic approximations using the delta-method uniformly valid? We provide sufficient conditions as well as closely related necessary conditions for uniform negligibility of the remainder of such approximations. These conditions…

We consider an exit-time minimum problem with a running cost, $l\geq 0$ and unbounded controls. The occurrence of points where $l=0$ can be regarded as a transversality loss. Furthermore, since controls range over unbounded sets, the family…

In this paper we study regularity and topological properties of volume constrained minimizers of quasi-perimeters in $\sf RCD$ spaces where the reference measure is the Hausdorff measure. A quasi-perimeter is a functional given by the sum…

The primary objective of this paper is to establish the Ahlfors regularity of minimizers of set functions that satisfy a suitable maxitive condition on disjoint unions of sets. Our analysis focuses on minimizers within continua of the plane…

We consider positive solutions, possibly unbounded, to the semilinear equation $-\Delta u=f(u)$ on continuous epigraphs bounded from below. Under the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition, we prove new monotonicity results for $u$, when…

We study the Riemannian distance function from a fixed point (a point-wise target) of Euclidean space in the presence of a compact obstacle bounded by a smooth hypersurface. First, we show that such a function is locally semiconcave with a…

Let $X$ be a set of points whose coordinates are known with limited accuracy; our aim is to give a characterization of the vanishing ideal $I(X)$ independent of the data uncertainty. We present a method to compute a polynomial basis $B$ of…

We provide detailed local descriptions of stable polynomials in terms of their homogeneous decompositions, Puiseux expansions, and transfer function realizations. We use this theory to first prove that bounded rational functions on the…
