We describe some basic facts about the weak subintegral closure of ideals in both the algebraic and complex-analytic settings. We focus on the analogy between results on the integral closure of ideals and modules and the weak subintegral…

This paper studies systems of polynomial equations that provide information about orientability of matroids. First, we study systems of linear equations over GF(2), originally alluded to by Bland and Jensen in their seminal paper on weak…

We study the quotient complex $\Delta (B_{lm})/S_l\wr S_m$ as a means of deducing facts about the ring $k[x_1,..., x_{lm}]^{S_l\wr S_m}$. It is shown in [He] that this quotient complex is shellable when $l=2$, implying Cohen-Macaulayness of…

In this paper, we show that if $I$ is a matroidal ideal, then the ideal generated by the $i$-th multigraded shifts is also a matroidal ideal for every $i=0,\ldots,\text{pd}(I)$.

We consider the fiber cone of monomial ideals. It is shown that for monomial ideals $I\subset K[x,y]$ of height $2$, generated by $3$ elements, the fiber cone $F(I)$ of $I$ is a hypersurface ring, and that $F(I)$ has positive depth for…

In this paper, we give a sufficient condition for a set $\mathal G$ of polynomials to be a Gr\"obner basis with respect to a given term-order for the ideal $I$ that it generates. Our criterion depends on the linkage pattern of the ideal $I$…

In this paper we consider monomial localizations of monomial ideals and conjecture that a monomial ideal is polymatroidal if and only if all its monomial localizations have a linear resolution. The conjecture is proved for squarefree…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field, and let $S=\mathbb{K}[X_1, ..., X_n]$ be the polynomial ring. Let $I$ be a monomial ideal of $S$ with up to 5 generators. In this paper, we present a computational experiment which allows us to prove that…

We prove that for a simplicial complex $K$ whose Taylor resolution for the Stanley-Reisner ring is minimal, the following four conditions are equivalent: (1) $K$ satisfies the strong gcd-condition; (2) $K$ is Golod; (3) the moment-angle…

Let $K$ be a field and $I$ a monomial ideal of the polynomial ring $S=K[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$. We show that if either: 1) $I$ is almost complete intersection, 2) $I$ can be generated by less than four monomials; or 3) $I$ is the Stanley-Reisner…

We show that there exist $k$-colorable matroids that are not $(b,c)$-decomposable when $b$ and $c$ are constants. A matroid is $(b,c)$-decomposable, if its ground set of elements can be partitioned into sets $X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_l$ with the…

If $I$ is a monomial ideal with linear quotients, then it has componentwise linear quotients. However, the converse of this statement is an open question. In this paper, we provide two classes of ideals for which the converse of this…

Answering questions raised in \cite{Leonetti, Uzcategui} we characterize ideals $\mathcal I\subseteq \mathcal P(\omega)$ such that $c_{0,\mathcal I}$ is complemented in $\ell_\infty$ as exactly those ideals for which the space $K_{\mathcal…

Let $R=K[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$ be the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ and let $I$ be a monomial ideal of $R$. In this paper, we present an explicit formula for the Betti numbers of almost complete intersection monomial ideals,…

We provide some new conditions under which the graded Betti numbers of a monomial ideal can be computed in terms of the graded Betti numbers of smaller ideals, thus complementing Eliahou and Kervaire's splitting approach. As applications,…

Irreducible decompositions of monomial ideals in polynomial rings over a field are well-understood. In this paper, we investigate decompositions in the set of monomial ideals in the semigroup ring A[\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}^d] where A is an…

A matroid complex is a pure complex such that every restriction is again pure. It is a long-standing open problem to classify all possible $h$-vectors of such complexes. In the case when the complex has dimension 1 we completely resolve…

For a simplicial complex $\Delta$, we introduce a simplicial complex attached to $\Delta$, called the expansion of $\Delta$, which is a natural generalization of the notion of expansion in graph theory. We are interested in knowing how the…

$(1)$ Let $M\subset N$ be a commutative cancellative torsion-free and subintegral extension of monoids. Then we prove that in the case of ring extension $A[M]\subset A[N]$, the two notions, subintegral and weakly subintegral coincide…

Let $A$ be a finite dimensional associative algebra over a perfect field and let $R$ be the radical of $A$. We show that for every one-sided ideal $I$ of $A$ there exists a semisimple subalgebra $S$ of $A$ such that $I=I_{S}\oplus I_{R}$…
