The classification of algebraic vector bundles of rank 2 over smooth affine fourfolds is a notoriously difficult problem. Isomorphism classes of such vector bundles are not uniquely determined by their Chern classes, in contrast to the…

We classify all unmixed monomial ideals I of codimension 2 which are generically a complete intersection and which have the property that the symbolic power algebra A(I) is standard graded. We give a lower bound for the highest degree of a…

We show that if $E$ is a closed convex set in $\mathbb C^n$ $(n>1)$ contained in a closed halfspace $H$ such that $E\cap bH$ is nonempty and bounded, then the concave domain $\Omega = \mathbb C^n\setminus E$ contains images of proper…

Let $\Gamma_n(p)$ be the level-$p$ principal congruence subgroup of $\text{SL}_n(\mathbb{Z})$. Borel-Serre proved that the cohomology of $\Gamma_n(p)$ vanishes above degree $\binom{n}{2}$. We study the cohomology in this top degree…

We propose a concept of module liaison that extends Gorenstein liaison of ideals and provides an equivalence relation among unmixed modules over a commutative Gorenstein ring. Analyzing the resulting equivalence classes we show that several…

Complete intersections inside rational homogeneous varieties provide interesting examples of Fano manifolds. For example, if $X = \cap_{i=1}^r D_i \subset G/P$ is a general complete intersection of $r$ ample divisors such that $K_{G/P}^*…

The goal of this paper is to study irreducible families W(b;a) of codimension 4, arithmetically Gorenstein schemes X of P^n defined by the submaximal minors of a t x t matrix A with entries homogeneous forms of degree a_j-b_i. Under some…

We provide a formula (see Theorem 1.5) for the Matlis dual of the injective hull of $R/\mathfrak{p}$ where $\mathfrak p$ is a one dimensional prime ideal in a local complete Gorenstein domain $(R,\mathfrak{m})$. This is related to results…

Let I be an m-primary ideal of a Noetherian local ring (R,m). We consider the Gorenstein and complete intersection properties of the associated graded ring G(I) and the fiber cone F(I) of I as reflected in their defining ideals as…

Let $\mathbf{M}_n$ be the Simpson compactification of twisted ideal sheaves $\mathcal{I}_{L,Q}(1)$ where $Q$ is a rank $4$ quardric hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^n$ and $L$ is a linear subspace of dimension $n-2$. This paper calculates the…

We study torsion in the integral cohomology of a certain family of $2n$-dimensional orbifolds $X$ with actions of the $n$-dimensional compact torus. Compact simplicial toric varieties are in our family. For a prime number $p$, we find a…

In this paper we prove an optimal co-degrees resilience property for the binomial $k$-uniform hypergraph model $H_{n,p}^k$ with respect to perfect matchings. That is, for a sufficiently large $n$ which is divisible by $k$, and $p\geq…

In this paper, we study the Coxeter transformation of the derived categories of coherent sheaves on smooth complete varieties. We first obtain that if the rank of the Grothendieck group is finite, say $m$, then its characteristic…

We prove that every cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold has a finite cover admitting infinitely many geometric ideal triangulations. Furthermore, every long Dehn filling of one cusp in this cover admits infinitely many geometric ideal…

It is conjectured that the dual variety of every smooth nonlinear subvariety of dimension $> \frac{2N}{3}$ in projective $N$-space is a hypersurface, an expectation known as the duality defect conjecture. This would follow from the truth of…

The method of intersection spaces associates rational Poincar\'e complexes to singular stratified spaces. For a conifold transition, the resulting cohomology theory yields the correct count of all present massless 3-branes in type IIB…

We give an elementary proof of the Pieri-type formula in the cohomology of a Grassmannian of maximal isotropic subspaces of an odd orthogonal or symplectic vector space. This proof proceeds by explicitly computing a triple intersection of…

Let a and x denote tuples of (jointly) freely noncommuting variables. A square matrix valued polynomial p in these variables is naturally evaluated at a tuple (A,X) of symmetric matrices with the result p(A,X) a square matrix. The…

In this paper, we prove that the Stanley--Reisner ideal of any connected simplicial complex of dimension $\ge 2$ that is locally complete intersection is a complete intersection ideal. As an application, we show that the Stanley--Reisner…
