We study the number of generators of ideals in regular rings and ask the question whether $\mu(I)<\mu(I^2)$ if $I$ is not a principal ideal, where $\mu(J)$ denotes the number of generators of an ideal $J$. We provide lower bounds for the…

The aim of this paper is to obtain a uniform bound for a certain class of submodules from the following theorem: Let $(R,\frak m)$ be a local ring, let $M$ be a finite $R$--module of dimension $d\ge 1$ and let $\frak q$ be an ideal of $R$…

The main achievement of this paper is to provide a structure theorem for Artinian, Gorenstein local rings with the property that the square of the maximal ideal is generated by two elements. The moduli problem for this class of local…

Given a number $q$, we construct a monomial ideal $I$ with the property that the function which describes the number of generators of $I^k$ has at least $q$ local maxima.

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a local Noetherian ring with residue field $k$. While much is known about the generating sets of reductions of ideals of $R$ if $k$ is infinite, the case in which $k$ is finite is less well understood. We…

It is shown that if $A$ is a regular local ring and $I$ is a maximally differential ideal in $A$, then $I$ is generated by an $A$-sequence.

There has arisen in recent years a substantial theory of "multiplier ideals'' in commutative rings. These are integrally closed ideals with properties that lend themselves to highly interesting applications. But how special are they among…

In this article we study inequalities of ideal norms. We prove that in a subring $R$ of a number field every ideal can be generated by at most $3$ elements if and only if the ideal norm satisfies $N(IJ) \geq N(I)N(J)$ for every pair of…

A commutative ring R has finite rank r, if each ideal of R is generated at most by r elements. A commutative ring R has the r-generator property, if each finitely generated ideal of R can be generated by r elements. Such rings are closely…

Stillman posed a question as to whether the projective dimension of a homogeneous ideal I in a polynomial ring over a field can be bounded by some formula depending only on the number and degrees of the minimal generators of I. More…

We obtain tight bounds for the minimal number of generators of an ideal with bounded-degree generators in a polynomial ring $K[X_1,\dots,X_n],$ as well as a sharp quantification of the maximum possible size of a minimal generating set of…

Given a graded ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring over a field $K$ it is well known, that the number of distinct generic initial ideals of $I$ is finite. While it is known that for a given $d\in\N$ there is a global upper bound for the number…

Let A be a commutative ring and I an ideal of A with a reduction Q. In this paper we give an upper bound on the reduction number of I with respect to Q, when a suitable family of ideals in A is given. As a corollary it follows that if some…

This paper is concerned with determining the number of generators in each degree for minimal sets of homogeneous generators for saturated ideals defining fat point subschemes $Z=m_1p_1+ ... +m_rp_r$ for general sets of points $p_i$ of…

This paper presents a novel approach to constructing finite generating sets for infinitely generated ideals. By integrating algebraic and computational techniques, we provide a method to identify finite generators, demonstrated through…

Perfect ideals $I$ of grade $3$ in a local ring $(R,\mathfrak{m},\Bbbk)$ can be classified based on multiplicative structures on $\text{Tor}^R_{\bullet}(R/I,\Bbbk)$. The classification is incomplete in the sense that it remains open which…

If $S$ is a numerical semigroup, let $m(S,k)$ denote the number of ideals of $S$ with codimension $k$ and let $n(S,k)$ denote the number of ideals of $S$ with conductor $k$. We compute the generating function of the sequence $m(S,k)$ for…

Let $E$ be a module of projective dimension one over $R=k[x_1,\ldots,x_d]$. If $E$ is presented by a matrix $\varphi$ with linear entries and the number of generators of $E$ is bounded locally up to codimension $d-1$, the Rees ring…
