We determine, in a polynomial ring over a field, the arithmetical rank of certain ideals generated by a set of monomials and one binomial.
In this paper, we provide a combinatorial characterization of those collections of cells whose inner $2$-minor ideals are complete intersections. More precisely, given a collection of cells $\mathcal C$ and its associated inner $2$-minor…
The MultiplicitySequence package for Macaulay2 computes the multiplicity sequence of a graded ideal in a standard graded ring over a field, as well as several invariants of monomial ideals related to integral dependence. We discuss two…
A theorem of Macaulay on colons of ideals in polynomial rings is proved for homogeneous Gorenstein algebras.
In this thesis, we focus on the study of some classes of monomial ideals, namely lexsegment ideals and monomial ideals with linear quotients.
We provide formulas and algorithms for computing the excess numbers of certain ideals. The solution for monomial ideals is given by the mixed volumes of certain polytopes. These results enable us to design specific homotopies for numerical…
We compute some algebraic invariants (e.g. depth, Castelnuovo - Mumford regularity) for a special class of monomial ideals, namely the ideals of mixed products. As a consequence, we characterize the Cohen-Macaulay ideals of mixed products.
We discuss the possibility of representing elements in polynomial ideals in $\C^N$ with optimal degree bounds. Classical theorems due to Macaulay and Max Noether say that such a representation is possible under certain conditions on the…
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…
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…
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…
In this paper we introduce the class of ordered homomorphism ideals and prove that these ideals admit minimal cellular resolutions constructed as homomorphism complexes. As a key ingredient of our work, we introduce the class of cointerval…

We study the depth of classes of binomial edge ideals and classify all closed graphs whose binomial edge ideal is Cohen--Macaulay.
Symbolic powers are a classical commutative algebra topic that relates to primary decomposition, consisting, in some circumstances, of the functions that vanish up to a certain order on a given variety. However, these are notoriously…
This paper is concerned with the question of whether geometric structures such as cell complexes can be used to simultaneously describe the minimal free resolutions of all powers of a monomial ideal. We provide a full answer in the case of…
In this article, we describe the theoretical foundations of the Macaulay2 package ConnectionMatrices and explain how to use it. For a left ideal in the Weyl algebra that is of finite holonomic rank, we implement the computation of the…
We study various binomial and monomial ideals arising in the theory of divisors, orientations, and matroids on graphs. We use ideas from potential theory on graphs and from the theory of Delaunay decompositions for lattices to describe…
We describe an algorithm which finds binomials in a given ideal $I\subset\mathbb{Q}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ and in particular decides whether binomials exist in $I$ at all. Binomials in polynomial ideals can be well hidden. For example, the lowest…
We introduce the package \texttt{EliminationTemplates} for the Macaulay2 computer algebra system, which provides tools for constructing automatic solvers for families of zero-dimensional radical ideals depending on algebraically independent…
