In 2007, Y. Shimoda, in connection with a long-standing question of J. Sally, asked whether a Noetherian local ring, such that all its prime ideals different from the maximal ideal are complete intersections, has Krull dimension at most…

Let $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring with total quotient ring $K$. An $R$-module $M$ is called simple divisible, if $M$ is divisible $\neq 0$, but every proper submodule $0 \neq U \subsetneqq M$ is not divisible.…

A study of the relation between a noetherian local domain with a given valuation and its associated graded ring with respect to the valuation, which in some cases is an esentially toric variety, possibly of infinite embedding dimension, but…

Let $\Lambda$ be a left and right noetherian ring and $\mod \Lambda$ the category of finitely generated left $\Lambda$-modules. In this paper we show the following results: (1) For a positive integer $k$, the condition that the subcategory…

In Commutative Algebra structure results on minimal free resolutions of Gorenstein modules are of classical interest. We define Gorenstein modules of finite length over the weighted polynomial ring via symmetric matrices in divided powers.…

Guo and the second author have shown that the closure $[I]$ in the Drury-Arveson space of a homogeneous principal ideal $I$ in $\mathbb{C}[z_1,...,z_n]$ is essentially normal. In this note, the authors extend this result to the closure of…

Let I be a homogeneous ideal of a polynomial ring S. We prove that if the initial ideal J of I, w.r.t. a term order on S, is square-free, then the extremal Betti numbers of S/I and of S/J coincide. In particular, depth(S/I)=depth(S/J) and…

We study the almost complete intersection ring $R$ defined by $n+1$ general quadrics in a polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $\sf{k}$ and a corresponding linked Gorenstein ring $A$. The overarching theme is that, while not Koszul…

We describe the typical homological properties of monomial ideals defined by random generating sets. We show that, under mild assumptions, random monomial ideals (RMI's) will almost always have resolutions of maximal length; that is, the…

We define the uniform face ideal of a simplicial complex with respect to an ordered proper vertex colouring of the complex. This ideal is a monomial ideal which is generally not squarefree. We show that such a monomial ideal has a linear…

Let $R$ be a polynomial ring in $N$ variables over an arbitrary field $K$ and let $I$ be an ideal of $R$ generated by $n$ polynomials of degree at most 2. We show that there is a bound on the projective dimension of $R/I$ that depends only…

We study Noether's normalization lemma for finitely generated algebras over a division algebra. In its classical form, the lemma states that if $I$ is a proper ideal of the ring $R=F[t_1,\ldots,t_n]$ of polynomials over a field $F$, then…

We define the reduced horseshoe resolution and the notion of conjoined pairs of ideals in order to study the minimal graded free resolution of a class of p-Borel ideals and recover Pardue's regularity formula for them. It will follow from…

For an ideal $I\subseteq\mathbb{R}[x]$ given by a set of generators, a new semidefinite characterization of its real radical $I(V_\mathbb{R}(I))$ is presented, provided it is zero-dimensional (even if $I$ is not). Moreover we propose an…

Each numerical semigroup $S$ with smallest positive element $m$ corresponds to an integer point in a polyhedral cone $C_m$, known as the Kunz cone. The faces of $C_m$ form a stratification of numerical semigroups that has been shown to…

A canonical minimal free resolution of an arbitrary co-artinian lattice ideal over the polynomial ring is constructed over any field whose characteristic is 0 or any but finitely many positive primes. The differential has a closed-form…

Let $M$ be a finitely generated graded module over a Noetherian homogeneous ring $R = \bigoplus_{n \in \mathbb{N}_0}R_n$. For each $i \in \mathbb{N}_0$ let $H^i_{R_{+}}(M)$ denote the $i$-th local cohomology module of $M$ with respect to…

We study modules over a generalized Weyl algebra $R(\sigma,a)$ which are free when restricted to the base ring $R$. When $R$ is an integral domain, we construct all such finite-rank modules up to isomorphism, leading to new simple modules…

We consider the problem of finding the isolated common roots of a set of polynomial functions defining a zero-dimensional ideal I in a ring R of polynomials over C. We propose a general algebraic framework to find the solutions and to…

For some numerical semigroup rings of small embedding dimension, namely those of embedding dimension 3, and symmetric or pseudosymmetric of embedding dimension 4, presentations has been determined in the literature. We extend these results…
