Recently, nearly complete intersection ideals were defined by Boocher and Seiner to establish lower bounds on Betti numbers for monomial ideals (arXiv:1706.09866). Stone and Miller then characterized nearly complete intersections using the…
We determine the codimension of the Betti strata of the family G(H) parametrizing graded Artinian quotients A of the polynomial ring R in two variables, having Hilbert function H. The Betti stratum G(B,H) parametrizes all such quotients…
We develop a theory of boundary functions for ideals in trivially analytic subalgebras of simple AF C*-algebras with an injective 0-cocycle, a class which includes all full nest algebras. Boundary functions are maps from the spectrum of the…
Let $A$ be a graded complete intersection over a field and $B$ the monomial complete intersection with the generators of the same degrees as $A$. The EGH conjecture says that if $I$ is a graded ideal in $A$, then there should be an ideal…
We study the weak Lefschetz property and the Hilbert function of level Artinian monomial almost complete intersections in three variables. Several such families are shown to have the weak Lefschetz property if the characteristic of the base…
We describe the graded characters and Hilbert functions of certain graded artinian Gorenstein quotients of the polynomial ring which are also representations of the symmetric group. Specifically, we look at those algebras whose socles are…
We define the notion of an almost polynomial identity of an associative algebra $R$, and show that its existence implies the existence of an actual polynomial identity of $R$. A similar result is also obtained for Lie algebras and Jordan…
For an operator of a certain class in Hilbert space, we introduce axioms of an abstract intersection theory, which we prove to be equivalent to the Riemann Hypothesis concerning the spectrum of that operator. In particular if the nontrivial…
Hilbert's 14th problem studies the finite generation property of the intersection of an integral algebra of finite type with a subfield of the field of fractions of the algebra. It has a negative answer due to the counterexample of Nagata.…
We consider the Hilbert scheme H(d,g) of space curves C with homogeneous ideal I(C):=H_{*}^0(\sI_C) and Rao module M:=H_{*}^1(\sI_C). By taking suitable generizations (deformations to a more general curve) C' of C, we simplify the minimal…
We consider absolutely free nonassociative algebras and, more generally, absolutely free algebras with (maybe infinitely) many multilinear operations. Such algebras are described in terms of labeled reduced planar rooted trees. This allows…
We consider the following open questions. Fix a Hilbert function, $h$, that occurs for a reduced zero-dimensional subscheme of $\mathbb P^2$. Among all subschemes, $X$, with Hilbert function $h$, what are the possible Hilbert functions and…
A great deal of recent activity has centered on the question of whether, for a given Hilbert function, there can fail to be a unique minimum set of graded Betti numbers, and this is closely related to the question of whether the associated…
We consider the problem of classifying gradings by groups on a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ (with any number of multilinear operations) over an algebraically closed field. We introduce a class of gradings, which we call almost fine, such…
We prove that a sequence $h$ of non-negative integers is the Hilbert function of some Artinian Gorenstein algebra with the strong Lefschetz property if and only if it is an SI-sequence. This generalizes the result by T. Harima which…
Let R be the polynomial ring in r variables over a field k, with maximal ideal M and let V denote a vector subspace of the space of degree-j homogeneous elements of R. We study three related algebras determined by V. The first is the…
We study maximal subalgebras of an arbitrary finite dimensional algebra over a field, and obtain full classification/description results of such algebras. This is done by first obtaining a complete classification in the semisimple case, and…
We show how any finite-dimensional algebra can be realized as an idempotent subquotient of some symmetric quasi-hereditary algebra. In the special case of rigid symmetric algebras we show that they can be realized as centralizer subalgebras…
We determine the product structure on Hochschild cohomology of commutative algebras in low degrees, obtaining the answer in all degrees for complete intersection algebras. As applications, we consider cyclic extension algebras as well as…
This article concerns commutative algebras over a field $k$ of characteristic zero which are finite dimensional as vectorspaces, and particularly those of such algebras which are graded. Here the term graded is applied to non-negatively…
