Suppose that $M$ is a finitely-generated graded module of codimension $c\geq 3$ over a polynomial ring and that the regularity of $M$ is at most $2a-2$ where $a\geq 2$ is the minimal degree of a first syzygy of $M$. Then we show that the…

We study the minimal free resolution of the Veronese modules of the polynomial ring in n variables, by giving a formula for the Betti numbers in terms of the reduced homology of some skeleton of a simplicial complex. We characterize when…

In this note, we provide a wide range of upper bounds for the moduli of the zeros of a complex polynomial. The obtained bounds complete a series of previous papers on the location of zeros of polynomials.

Many upper bounds for the moduli of polynomial roots have been proposed but reportedly assessed on selected examples or restricted classes only. Regarding quality measured in terms of worst-case relative overestimation of the maximum…

Let $S$ be a polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ of characteristic $0$. A numerical characterization of all possible extremal Betti numbers of any graded submodule of a finitely generated graded free $S$-module is given.

This text consists of five relatively systematic notes on Gr\"obner bases and free resolutions of modules over solvable polynomial algebras.

In this paper, we study minimal free resolutions for modules over rings of linear differential operators. The resolutions we are interested in are adapted to a given filtration, in particular to the so-called V-filtrations. We are…

Let S=K[X_1,...,X_n] be the polynomial ring over a field K. For bounded below Z^n-graded S-modules M and N we show that if Tor^S_p(M,N) is nonzero, then for every i between 0 and p, the dimension of the K-vector space Tor^S_i(M,N) is at…

We prove a lower bound on the canonical height associated to polynomials over number fields evaluated at points with infinite forward orbit. The lower bound depends only on the degree of the polynomial, the degree of the number field, and…

In this paper we propose a general method for computing a minimal free right resolution of a finitely presented graded right module over a finitely presented graded noncommutative algebra. In particular, if such module is the base field of…

We survey results related to the magnitude of the Betti numbers of numerical semigroup rings and of their tangent cones.

Let $\mathrm{R}$ be a real closed field. The problem of obtaining tight bounds on the Betti numbers of semi-algebraic subsets of $\mathrm{R}^k$ in terms of the number and degrees of the defining polynomials has been an important problem in…

Let I be a monomial ideal of height c in a polynomial ring S over a field k. If I is not generated by a regular sequence, then we show that the sum of the betti numbers of S/I is at least 2^c + 2^{c-1} and characterize when equality holds.…

Let $R = k[x]/I$ where $I$ is the defining ideal of a rational normal $k$-scroll. We compute the Betti numbers of the ground field $\mathbb{k}$ as a module over $R$. For $k = 2$, we give the minimal free resolution of $\mathbb{k}$ over $R$.

We investigate the problem of showing that the values of a given polynomial are smooth (i.e., have no large prime factors) a positive proportion of the time. Although some results exist that bound the number of smooth values of a polynomial…

We consider the minimal free resolutions of Stanley-Reisner rings associated to linear codes and give an intrinsic characterization of linear codes having a pure resolution. We use this characterization to quickly deduce the minimal free…

Ziegler showed that free arrangements have free restricted multiarrangements (multirestrictions). After Ziegler's work, several results concerning "reverse direction", namely characterizing freeness of an arrangement via that of…

In this paper, we give some counting results on integer polynomials of fixed degree and bounded height whose distinct non-zero roots are multiplicatively dependent. These include sharp lower bounds, upper bounds and asymptotic formulas for…

We study two long-standing conjectures concerning lower bounds for the Betti numbers of a graded module over a polynomial ring. We prove new cases of these conjectures in codimensions five and six by reframing the conjectures as arithmetic…

We study some aspects of reflexive modules. For example, we search conditions for which reflexive modules are free or being very close to free modules.
