Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a two-dimensional regular local ring with infinite residue class field. Then the Rees algebra $\mathcal{R} (I)= \bigoplus_{n \ge 0}I^n$ of $I$ is an almost Gorenstein graded ring in the sense of…

Assume that R is a semi-local regular ring containing an infinite perfect field, or that R is a semi-local ring of several points on a smooth scheme over an infinite field. Let K be the field of fractions of R. Let H be a strongly inner…

We give a short proof of the Zariski-Lipman conjecture for toric varieties: any complex toric variety with locally free tangent sheaf is smooth.

We explicitly construct a $V$-normal crossing Gorenstein canonical model of the relative symmetric products of a local semistable degeneration of surfaces without a triple point by means of toric geometry. Using this model, we calculate the…

A "toric face ring", which generalizes both Stanley-Reisner rings and affine semigroup rings, is studied by Bruns, Roemer and their coauthors recently. In this paper, under the "normality" assumption, we describe a dualizing complex of a…

We will prove that the Pierce-Birkhoff Conjecture holds for non-singular two-dimensional affine real algebraic varieties over real closed fields, i.e., if W is such a variety, then every piecewise polynomial function on W can be written as…

A conjecture expressing genus 1 Gromov-Witten invariants in mirror-theoretic terms of semi-simple Frobenius structures and complex oscillating integrals is formulated. The proof of the conjecture is given for torus-equivariant Gromov -…

The $g$-theorem is a momentous result in combinatorics that gives a complete numerical characterization of the face numbers of simplicial convex polytopes. The $g$-conjecture asserts that the same numerical conditions given in the…

For an affine, toric Q-Gorenstein variety Y (given by a lattice polytope Q) the vector space T^1 of infinitesimal deformations is related to the complexified vector spaces of rational Minkowski summands of faces of Q. Moreover, assuming Y…

Let $k$ be a field and let $V$ be a $k$-vector space of dimension $d$. Let $G \subseteq GL(V)$ be a finite group. Let $r = \dim_k (V^*)^G$. Assume $r \geq 1$. Let $R = k[V]^G$ be the ring of invariants of $G$. Let $H_R(n) =…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a connected simple graph, with $n$ vertices such that $S$ is its homogeneous monomial subring. We prove that if $S$ is normal and Gorenstein, then $G$ is unmixed with cover number $\lceil\frac{n}{2}\rceil$ and $G$ has a…

In this paper, we introduce a notion of stable coarse algebras for metric spaces with bounded geometry, and formulate the twisted coarse Baum--Connes conjecture with respect to stable coarse algebras. We prove permanence properties of this…

The perfectly matchable subgraph polytope of a graph is a (0,1)-polytope associated with the vertex sets of matchings in the graph. In this paper, we study algebraic properties (compressedness, Gorensteinness) of the toric rings of…

We solve a case of the Abelian Exponential-Algebraic Closedness Conjecture, a conjecture due to Bays and Kirby, building on work of Zilber, which predicts sufficient conditions for systems of equations involving algebraic operations and the…

Gorenstein rings are important to mathematical areas as diverse as algebraic geometry, where they encode information about singularities of spaces, and homotopy theory, through the concept of model categories. In consequence, the study of…

We show that Hilbert schemes of planar curve singularities and their parabolic variants can be interpreted as certain generalized affine Springer fibers for $GL_n$, as defined by Goresky-Kottwitz-MacPherson. Using a generalization of affine…

Let $f(x) = x^{2g+1} + c_1 x^{2g} + \dots + c_{2g+1} \in k[x]$ be a polynomial of nonzero discriminant, and let $J$ denote the Jacobian of the odd hyperelliptic curve $C : y^2 = f(x)$. We show that the morphism $J \to \mathbb{P}^{2^g-1}$…

In this paper, we study double structures supported on rational normal curves. After recalling the general construction of double structures supported on a smooth curve described in \cite{fer}, we specialize it to double structures on…

Assuming the classical Farrell-Jones conjecture we produce an explicit (commutative) group ring $R$ and a thick subcategory $\mathsf{C}$ of perfect $R$-complexes such that the Waldhausen $K$-theory space $\mathrm{K}(\mathsf{C})$ is…

The classification of local Artinian Gorenstein algebras is equivalent to the study of orbits of a certain non-reductive group action on a polynomial ring. We give an explicit formula for the orbits and their tangent spaces. We apply our…
