Alon's combinatorial Nullstellensatz (Theorem 1.1 from \cite{Alon1}) is one of the most powerful algebraic tools in combinatorics, with a diverse array of applications. Let $\F$ be a field, $S_1,S_2,..., S_n$ be finite nonempty subsets of…
A Nullstellensatz is a theorem providing information on polynomials that vanish on a certain set: David Hilbert's Nullstellensatz (1893) is a cornerstone of algebraic geometry, and Noga Alon's Combinatorial Nullstellensatz (1999) is a…
Alon's combinatorial Nullstellensatz, and in particular the resulting nonvanishing criterion is one of the most powerful algebraic tools in combinatorics, with many important applications. In this paper we extend the nonvanishing theorem in…
We present different techniques for applying Combinatorial Nullstellensatz to polynomials over finite fields. For examples, we generalize theorems from Noga Alon's paper on the subject, and present a few of our own.
In this expository note we show how combinatorial Nullstellensatz by N. Alon naturally appears in solutions of elementary problems. Simple ideas gradually and naturally appear in such solutions, thus bringing a reader to generalizations.…
We survey a few strengthenings and generalizations of the Combinatorial Nullstellensatz of Alon and the Schwartz-Zippel Lemma. These lemmas guarantee the existence of (a certain number of) nonzeros of a multivariate polynomial when the…
We discuss here some computational aspects of the Combinatorial Nullstellensatz argument. Our main result shows that the order of magnitude of the symmetry group associated with permutations of the variables in algebraic constraints,…
Using polynomial equations to model combinatorial problems has been a popular tool both in computational combinatorics as well as an approach to proving new theorems. In this paper, we look at several combinatorics problems modeled by…
In this note we give an extended version of Combinatorial Nullstellensatz, with weaker assumption on nonvanishing monomial. We also present an application of our result in a situation where the original theorem does not seem to work.
Motivated by better understanding the bideterminant (=product of minors) basis on the polynomial ring in $n \times m$ variables, we develop theory \& algorithms for Gr\"obner bases in not only algebras with straightening law (ASLs or Hodge…
The main result of this paper is a coefficient formula that sharpens and generalizes Alon and Tarsi's Combinatorial Nullstellensatz, which provides some information about the polynomial map $P|_{\X_1\times...\times\X_n}$ when only…
We study almost complete intersection ideals in a polynomial ring, generated by powers of all the variables together with a power of their sum. Our main result is an explicit description of the reduced Gr\"obner bases for these ideals under…
Let $f_i$ be polynomials in $n$ variables without a common zero. Hilbert's Nullstellensatz says that there are polynomials $g_i$ such that $\sum g_if_i=1$. The effective versions of this result bound the degrees of the $g_i$ in terms of the…
Let $I = ( f_1, \dots, f_n )$ be a homogeneous ideal in the polynomial ring $K[x_1, \dots,x_n]$ over a field $K$ generated by generic polynomials. Using an incremental approach based on a method by Gao, Guan and Volny, and properties of the…
We prove a Nullstellensatz for the ring of polynomial functions in n non-commuting variables over Hamilton's ring of real quaternions. We also characterize the generalized polynomial identities in n variables which hold over the…
It is shown that by eliminating duality theory of vector spaces from a recent proof of Kouba (O. Kouba, A duality based proof of the Combinatorial Nullstellensatz. Electron. J. Combin. 16 (2009), #N9) one obtains a direct proof of the…
The aim of this note is to present an easy proof of Hilbert's Nullstellensatz using Groebner basis. I believe, that the proof has some methodical advantage in a course on Groebner bases. Key words: Hilbert's Nullstellensatz, Groebner bases.
The present paper continues our foundational work on real algebra with preordered commutative semifields and semirings. We prove two abstract Vergleichsstellens\"atze for preordered commutative semirings of polynomial growth. These…
In [4] Sturmfels linked the Hilbert Nullstellensatz to Gr\"obner bases through final polynomials. In (loc. cit.) it was claimed that final polynomials always appear in a lexicographic Gr\"obner basis of a certain ideal. In this paper, we…
We prove a general version of Bezout's form of the Nullstellensatz for arbitrary fields. The corresponding sufficient and necessary condition only involves the local existence of multi-valued roots for each of the polynomials belonging to…
