Hankel determinantal rings, i.e., determinantal rings defined by minors of Hankel matrices of indeterminates, arise as homogeneous coordinate rings of higher order secant varieties of rational normal curves; they may also be viewed as…
In this paper, we prove that the generic link of a generic determinantal ring defined by maximal minors is strongly $F$-regular. In the process, we strengthen a result of Chardin and Ulrich in the graded setting. They showed that the…
We develop a method of reducing the size of quantum minors in the algebra of n x n quantum matrices. The method is used to show that quantum determinantal factor rings of n x n quantum matrices over the complex numbers are maximal orders,…
A resolution-free definition of rational singularities is introduced, and it is proved that for a variety admitting a resolution of singularities, so in particular in characteristic zero, this is equivalent to the usual definition. It is…
An ideal I in a polynomial ring S has linear powers if all the powers I^k of I have a linear free resolution. We show that the ideal of maximal minors of a sufficiently general matrix with linear entries has linear powers. The required…
The existence of a maximal ideal in a general nontrivial commutative ring is tied together with the axiom of choice. Following Berardi, Valentini and thus Krivine but using the relative interpretation of negation (that is, as "implies 0 =…
We study initial algebras of determinantal rings, defined by minors of generic matrices, with respect to their classical generic point. This approach leads to very short proofs for the structural properties of determinantal rings. Moreover,…
Generalised quantum determinantal rings are the analogue in quantum matrices of Schubert varieties. Maximal orders are the noncommutative version of integrally closed rings. In this paper, we show that generalised quantum determinantal…
We show in this paper that the Briancon-Skoda theorem holds for all ideals in F-rational rings of positive prime characteristic, and also in rings with rational singularities which are of finite type over a field of characteristic 0.…
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$. Let $X$ be a $2\times e$ matrix of linear forms over a polynomial ring $k[\mathsf{x}_1, \ldots,\mathsf{x}_n]$ (where $e,n\ge 1$). We prove that the determinantal ring $R =…
Motivated by a work of Knutson, in a recent paper Conca and Varbaro have defined a new class of ideals, namely "Knutson ideals", starting from a polynomial $f$ with squarefree leading term. We will show that the main properties that this…
We determine the defining equations of the Rees algebra and of the special fiber ring of the ideal of maximal minors of a $2\times n$ sparse matrix. We prove that their initial algebras are ladder determinantal rings. This allows us to show…
We investigate the standard graded $k$-algebras over a field $k$ of characteristic zero for which general linear forms are exact zero divisors. We formulate a conjecture regarding the Hilbert function of such rings. We prove our conjecture…
It is known that a two-dimensional $F$-rational ring has a rational singularity. However a two-dimensional ring with a rational singularity is not $F$-rational in general. In this paper, we investigate $F$-rationality of a two-dimensional…
Let $X$ be an algebraic variety with Gorenstein singularities. We define the notion of a wonderful resolution of singularities of $X$ by analogy with the theory of wonderful compactifications of semi-simple linear algebraic groups. We prove…
This paper has two aims. The first is to study ideals of minors of matrices whose entries are among the variables of a polynomial ring. Specifically, we describe matrices whose ideals of minors of a given size are prime. The main result in…
We prove that good quotients of algebraic varieties with 1-rational singularities also have 1-rational singularities. This refines a result of Boutot on rational singularities of good quotients.
In this paper we consider the problem of finding explicitly canonical ideals of one-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local rings. We show that Gorenstein ideals contained in a high power of the maximal ideal are canonical ideals. In the…
All matrices we consider have entries in a fixed algebraically closed field $K$. A minor of a square matrix is principal means it is defined by the same row and column indices. We study the ideal generated by size $t$ principal minors of a…
In analogy with the classical, affine toric rings, we define a local toric ring as the quotient of a regular local ring modulo an ideal generated by binomials in a regular system of parameters with unit coefficients; if the coefficients are…
