We give a homological interpretation of the coefficients of the Hilbert series for an algebra associated with a directed graph and its dual algebra. This allows us to obtain necessary conditions for Koszulity of such algebras in terms of…

The affine Hilbert function is a classical algebraic object that has been central, among other tools, to the development of the polynomial method in combinatorics. Owing to its concrete connections with Gr\"obner basis theory, as well as…

Codimension 2 complete intersections in P^N have a natural parameter space \bar{H}: a projective bundle over a projective space given by the choice of the lower degree equation and of the higher degree equation up to a multiple of the…

We consider the minimal free resolution of a generic set of n+1 forms (not necessarily of the same degree) in a polynomial ring of n variables. The Hilbert function for such an ideal is known, thanks to a result of Stanley and of Watanabe.…

We investigate the standard graded $k$-algebras over a field $k$ of characteristic zero for which general linear forms are exact zero divisors. We formulate a conjecture regarding the Hilbert function of such rings. We prove our conjecture…

In this paper we find an algorithm which computes the Hilbert function of schemes $Z$ of "fat points" in $\PP3$ whose support lies on a rational normal cubic curve $C$. The algorithm shows that the maximality of the Hilbert function in…

In this article we investigate when a complete ideal in a two-dimensional regular local ring is a multiplier ideal of some ideal with an integral multiplying parameter. In particular, we show that this question is closely connected to the…

Let $G$ be a nontrivial finite subgroup of $\SL_n(\C)$. Suppose that the quotient singularity $\C^n/G$ has a crepant resolution $\pi\colon X\to \C^n/G$ (i.e. $K_X = \shfO_X$). There is a slightly imprecise conjecture, called the McKay…

This paper develops the geometry of locally bounded rational functions on non-singular real algebraic varieties. First various basic geometric and algebraic results regarding these functions are established in any dimension, culminating…

In this paper, we characterize the rectifiability (both uniform and not) of an Ahlfors regular set, E, of arbitrary co-dimension by the behavior of a regularized distance function in the complement of that set. In particular, we establish a…

We prove that for any open Riemann surface $M$ and any non constant harmonic function $h:M \to \mathbb{R},$ there exists a complete conformal minimal immersion $X:M \to \mathbb{R}^3$ whose third coordinate function coincides with $h.$ As a…

We construct a structure of a ring with local units on a co-Frobenius coalgebra. We study a special class of co-Frobenius coalgebras whose objects we call symmetric coalgebras. We prove that any semiperfect coalgebra can be embedded in a…

In this paper, our aim is twofold: First, by using the technique of gluing semigroups, we give infinitely many families of a projective closure with the Cohen-Macaulay (Gorenstein) property. Also, we give an effective technique for…

We consider the following open questions. Fix a Hilbert function, $h$, that occurs for a reduced zero-dimensional subscheme of $\mathbb P^2$. Among all subschemes, $X$, with Hilbert function $h$, what are the possible Hilbert functions and…

In this paper we study the isomorphism classes of Artinian Gorenstein local rings with socle degree three by means of Macaulay's inverse system. We prove that their classification is equivalent to the projective classification of the…

Let $K$ be a field, $A$ a standard graded $K$-algebra and $M$ a finitely generated graded $A$-module. Inspired by our previous works, we study the Hilbert depth of $h_M$, that is $$\operatorname{hdepth}(h_M)=\max\{d\;:\; \sum\limits_{j\leq…

Let $(A,\m)$ be a Gorenstein local ring of dimension $d \geq 1$. Let $\CMS(A)$ be the stable category of maximal \CM \ $A$-modules and let $\ICMS(A)$ denote the set of isomorphism classes in $\CMS(A)$. We define a function $\xi \colon…

Inspired by recent work in the theory of central projections onto hypersurfaces, we characterize self-linked perfect ideals of grade 2 as those with a Hilbert--Burch matrix that has a maximal symmetric subblock. We also prove that every…

In this paper we investigate some algebraic and geometric consequences which arise from an extremal bound on the Hilbert function of the general hyperplane section of a variety (Green's Hyperplane Restriction Theorem). These geometric…

In this paper, we prove the strong form of the Watanabe-Yoshida conjecture for complete intersection singularities in every positive characteristic. In characteristics 2 and 3, we explicitly compute the Hilbert-Kunz functions of the A1 and…
