For symplectic Lie algebras $\mathfrak{sp}(2n,\mathbb{C})$, denote by $\mathfrak{b}$ and $\mathfrak{n}$ its Borel subalgebra and maximal nilpotent subalgebra, respectively. We construct a relationship between the abelian ideals of…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring of dimension $d$. In this paper, we first show that some power of the cohomology annihilator annihilates the $(d+1)$-th Ext modules for all finitely generated modules when either $R$ admits a…

We generalise results about isometric group actions on metric spaces and their fundamental regions to the context of merely continuous group actions. In particular, we obtain results that yield the relative compactness of a fundamental…

This thesis is a study of various ways of measuring the size and complexity of finitely generated modules over a Noetherian local ring. The classical example is the multiplicity or degree. Here we investigate several variants of the degree…

We determine the number of ${\mathbb{F}}_q$-rational points of hyperplane sections of classical determinantal varieties defined by the vanishing of minors of a fixed size of a generic matrix, and identify sections giving the maximum number…

We introduce a new notion of rank for unitary representations of semisimple groups over a local field of characteristic zero. The theory is based on Kirillov's method of orbits for nilpotent groups over local fields. When the semisimple…

In this paper we prove the following generalization of a result of Hartshorne: Let $(S,\n)$ be a regular local ring of dimension $4$. Assume that $x,y,u,v$ is a regular system of parameters for $S$ and $a:=xu+yv$. Then for each finitely…

Coarse geometry, and in particular coarse homotopy theory, has proven to be a powerful tool for approaching problems in geometric group theory and higher index theory. In this paper, we continue to develop theory in this area by proving a…

We compute the rank of the fundamental group of an arbitrary connected component of the space map(X, Y) for X and Y nilpotent CW complexes with X finite. For the general component corresponding to a homotopy class f : X --> Y, we give a…

We find conditions on the local cohomology modules of multi-Rees algebras of admissible filtrations which enable us to predict joint reduction numbers. As a consequence we are able to prove a generalisation of a result of…

We construct a generalize Ishida complex to compute the local cohomology with monomial support of modules over quotients of polynomial rings by cellular binomial ideals. As a consequence, we obtain a combinatorial criterion to determine…

In this paper, we construct indecomposable integrally closed modules of arbitrary rank over a two-dimensional regular local ring. The modules are quite explicitly constructed from a given complete monomial ideal. We also give structural and…

In the derived category of the category of modules over a commutative Noetherian ring $R$, we define, for an ideal $\fa$ of $R$, two different types of cohomological dimensions of a complex $X$ in a certain subcategory of the derived…

Let $A = \mathbb{F}_q[T]$, $\mathfrak{p} \subset A$ prime, $f(x) \in A[x]$ irreducible and set $R = A[x]/f(x)$. Denote its completion by $R_\mathfrak{p}$. The ideal class monoid $\text{ICM}(R_\mathfrak{p})$ is the set of fractional…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring. Using the new concept of linkage of ideals over a module, we show that if $\mathfrak{a}$ is an ideal of $R$ which is linked by the ideal $I$, then $cd(\mathfrak{a},R) \in \{ grad \mathfrak{a},…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring, and suppose $R$ is Cohen-Macaulay with canonical module $\omega_R$. We develop new tools for analyzing questions involving annihilators of several homologically defined objects.…

We characterise ideals in two-dimensional regular local rings that arise as ideals of maximal minors of indecomposable integrally closed modules of rank two.

In this paper we give a method for calculating the rank of a general elliptic curve over the field of rational functions in two variables. We reduce this problem to calculating the cohomology of a singular hypersurface in a weighted…

Let $R$ be a noetherian ring, $\fa$ an ideal of $R$, and $M$ an $R$--module. We prove that for a finite module $M$, if $\LC^{i}_{\fa}(M)$ is minimax for all $i\geq r\geq 1$, then $\LC^{i}_{\fa}(M)$ is artinian for $i\geq r$. A Local-global…

In this paper, we study the properties of noetherian rings with uniform annihilators. It turns out that all these rings should be universally catenary and locally equidimensional. We will give a necessary and sufficient condition for these…
