Consider the polynomial ring $R_n = k[x_1,...,x_n]$, where $k$ is a field. Let $m = (x_1,...,x_n)$ and $I$ be an $m$-primary monomial ideal in $R$. We consider the problem of determining whether such ideals are in the Gorenstein liasion…

We study infinite series expansions for the Riemann xi function $\Xi(t)$ in three specific families of orthogonal polynomials: (1) the Hermite polynomials; (2) the symmetric Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials $P_n^{(3/4)}(x;\pi/2)$; and (3) the…

Let $(R,\mathfrak m)$ be an analytically unramified local ring of positive prime characteristic $p.$ For an ideal $I$, let $I^*$ denote its tight closure. We introduce the tight Hilbert function $H^*_I(n)=\ell(R/(I^n)^*)$ and the…

Let $\lambda$ be a general length function for modules over a Noetherian ring R. We use $\lambda$ to introduce Hilbert series and polynomials for R[X]-modules, measuring the growth rate of~$\lambda$. We show that the leading term $\mu$ of…

Given ideals $I,J$ of a noetherian local ring $(R, \mathfrak m)$ such that $I+J$ is $\mathfrak m$-primary and a finitely generated $R$-module $M$, we associate an invariant of $(M,R,I,J)$ called the $h$-function. Our results on…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a commutative noetherian local ring with $\mathfrak{m}$-adic topology, $I$ an ideal of $R$. We investigate coartinianess of $\mathrm{Ext}$ and $\mathrm{Tor}$, show that the $R$-module $\mathrm{Ext}_{R}^{i}(N,M)$ is…

I show that there exist universal constants $C(r) < \infty$ such that, for all loopless graphs $G$ of maximum degree $\le r$, the zeros (real or complex) of the chromatic polynomial $P_G(q)$ lie in the disc $|q| < C(r)$. Furthermore, $C(r)…

We introduce support varieties for rational representations of a linear algebraic group $G$ of exponential type over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p > 0$. These varieties are closed subspaces of the space $V(G)$ of…

The $M$-polynomial of a graph $G$ is defined as $\sum_{i\le j} m_{i,j}(G)x^iy^j$, where $m_{i,j}(G)$, $i,j\ge 1$, is the number of edges $uv$ of $G$ such that $\{d_v(G), d_u(G)\} = \{i,j\}$. Knowing the $M$-polynomial, formulas for bond…

Motivated by notions from coding theory, we study the generalized minimum distance (GMD) function $\delta_I(d,r)$ of a graded ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring over an arbitrary field using commutative algebraic methods. It is shown that…

Let $\MP_d$ denote the space of polynomials $f: \C \to \C$ of degree $d\geq 2$, modulo conjugation by $\Aut(\C)$. Using properties of polynomial trees (as introduced in [DM, math.DS/0608759]), we show that if $f_n$ is a divergent sequence…

Let $G$ be a connected bridgeless $(n,m)$-graph which may have loops and multiedges, and let $F(G,t)$ denote the flow polynomial of $G$. Dong and Koh \cite{Dong1} established an upper bound for the absolute value of coefficient $c_{i}$ of…

Let $A$ be a commutative noetherian ring and $I$ an ideal in $A$. We characterize algebraically when all the minimal primes of the associated graded ring $G_I A$ contract to minimal primes of $A/I$. This, applied to intersection theory,…

The notion of regularity has been used by S. Kleiman in the construction of bounded families of ideals or sheaves with given Hilbert polynomial, a crucial point in the construction of Hilbert or Picard scheme. In a related direction,…

We study Hermitian non-commutative quadratic polynomials of multiple independent Wigner matrices. We prove that, with the exception of some specific reducible cases, the limiting spectral density of the polynomials always has a square root…

Let $M,N$ be finitely generated modules over a local complete intersection $R$. Assume that for each $i>0$, $\mathrm{Tor}^R_i(M,N)=0$. We prove that the cohomological support of $M\otimes_R N$ (in the sense of Avramov-Buchweitz) is equal to…

We continue the study of intersection algebras $\mathcal B = \mathcal B_R(I, J)$ of two ideals $I, J$ in a commutative Noetherian ring $R$. In particular, we exploit the semigroup ring and toric structures in order to calculate various…

It is known that the eigenvalues of selfadjoint elements a,b,c with a+b+c=0 in the factor R^omega (ultrapower of the hyperfinite II1 factor) are characterized by a system of inequalities analogous to the classical Horn inequalities of…
