The brain processes information about the environment via neural codes. The neural ideal was introduced recently as an algebraic object that can be used to better understand the combinatorial structure of neural codes. Every neural ideal…
A major area in neuroscience research is the study of how the brain processes spatial information. Neurons in the brain represent external stimuli via neural codes. These codes often arise from stereotyped stimulus-response maps,…
The "neural code" is the way the brain characterizes, stores, and processes information. Unraveling the neural code is a key goal of mathematical neuroscience. Topology, coding theory, and, recently, commutative algebra are some the…
In this paper, we prove that every binomial ideal in a polynomial ring over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero admits a canonical primary decomposition into binomial ideals. Moreover, we prove that this special…

Neural codes form an algebraic framework to study the nervous system, and understanding neural codes is a key goal of mathematical neuroscience. Neural rings and ideals are the tools connecting neuroscience and commutative algebra. In this…
The neural ideal of a binary code $\mathbb{C} \subseteq \mathbb{F}_2^n$ is an ideal in $\mathbb{F}_2[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$ closely related to the vanishing ideal of $\mathbb{C}$. The neural ideal, first introduced by Curto et al, provides an…
A neural code $\mathcal{C}$ is a collection of binary vectors of a given length n that record the co-firing patterns of a set of neurons. Our focus is on neural codes arising from place cells, neurons that respond to geographic stimulus. In…
This article introduces patterns of ideals of numerical semigroups, thereby unifying previous definitions of patterns of numerical semigroups. Several results of general interest are proved. More precisely, this article presents results on…
We determine, in a polynomial ring over a field, the arithmetical rank of certain ideals generated by a set of monomials and one binomial.
The neural rings and ideals as an algebraic tool for analyzing the intrinsic structure of neural codes were introduced by C.~Curto et al. in 2013. Since then they were investigated in several papers, including the 2017 paper by…
We characterize monomial ideals which are intersections of monomial prime ideals and study classes of ideals with this property, among them polymatroidal ideals.
An ideal on a set $X$ is a collection of subsets of $X$ closed under the operations of taking finite unions and subsets of its elements. Ideals are a very useful notion in topology and set theory and have been studied for a long time. We…
The aim of this work is to study duality of fractional ideals with respect to a fixed ideal and to investigate the relationship between value sets of pairs of dual ideals in admissible rings, a class of rings that contains the local rings…
We investigate the structure of ideals generated by binomials (polynomials with at most two terms) and the schemes and varieties associated to them. The class of binomial ideals contains many classical examples from algebraic geometry, and…
Given a monomial ideal in a polynomial ring over a field, we define the generalized Newton complementary dual of the given ideal. We show good properties of such duals including linear quotients and isomorphisms between the special fiber…
Binomial ideals are special polynomial ideals with many algorithmically and theoretically nice properties. We discuss the problem of deciding if a given polynomial ideal is binomial. While the methods are general, our main motivation and…
In this article we investigate when a homogeneous ideal in a graded ring is normal, that is, when all positive powers of the ideal are integrally closed. We are particularly interested in homogeneous ideals in an N-graded ring generated by…
