By generalizing the notion of the path ideal of a graph, we study some algebraic properties of some path ideals associated to a line graph. We show that the quotient ring of these ideals are always sequentially Cohen-Macaulay and also…
We characterize the minimal free resolution of zero-dimensional subschemes in the plane with non connected character. This is then used to slightly generalize a result of Sauer about the smoothability of a.C.M. space curves. Some…
B. Sturmfels and S. Sullivant associated to any graph a toric ideal, called the cut ideal. We consider monomial cut ideals and we show that their algebraic properties such as the minimal primary decomposition, the property of having a…
Cut ideals are used in algebraic statistics to study statistical models defined by graphs. Intuitively, topological restrictions on the graphs should imply structural statements about the corresponding cut ideals. Several theorems and many…
We consider a class of graphs $G$ such that the height of the edge ideal $I(G)$ is half of the number $\sharp V(G)$ of the vertices. We give Cohen-Macaulay criteria for such graphs.
A tetrahedral curve is a (usually nonreduced) curve in P^3 defined by an unmixed, height two ideal generated by monomials. We characterize when these curves are arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay by associating a graph to each curve and, using…
Let C be a locally Cohen-Macaulay curve in complex projective 3-space. The maximum genus problem predicts the largest possible arithmetic genus g(d,s) that C can achieve assuming that it has degree d and does not lie on surfaces of degree…
Cohen Macaulay property of fiber cones of ideals is characterized in terms of its Hilbert series. Hilbert series of fiber cones of ideals with minimal mixed multiplicity is calculated. It is proved that the fiber cone of an m-primary ideal…
For an arithmetically Cohen--Macaulay subscheme of projective space, there is a well-known bound for the highest degree of a minimal generator for the defining ideal of the subscheme, in terms of the Hilbert function. We prove a natural…
Symmetric ideals in increasingly larger polynomial rings that form an ascending chain are investigated. We focus on the asymptotic behavior of codimensions and projective dimensions of ideals in such a chain. If the ideals are graded it is…
We classify globally generated vector bundles with first Chern class $c_1$ at least 4 on the projective 3-space with the property that $E(-c_1+3)$ has a non-zero global section. This (seemingly) technical result allows one to reduce the…
The homogenous ideals of curves in a double plane have been studied by Chiarli, Greco, Nagel. Completing this work we describe the equations of any curve that is contained in some quadric. As a consequence, we classify the Hartshorne-Rao…
We present a closed formula and a simple algorithmic procedure to compute the projective dimension of square-free monomial ideals associated to string or cycle hypergraphs. As an application, among these ideals we characterize all the…
We prove a sharp upper bound for the projective dimension of ideals of height two generated by quadrics in a polynomial ring with arbitrary large number of variables.
Macaulay dual spaces provide a local description of an affine scheme and give rise to computational machinery that is compatible with the methods of numerical algebraic geometry. We introduce eliminating dual spaces, use them for computing…
We classify maximal quartic generalised projective special real curves up to equivalence. A maximal quartic generalised projective special real curve consists of connected components of the intersection of the hyperbolic points of a quartic…
In this short note we prove that the projective dimension of a sequentially Cohen-Macaulay square-free monomial ideal is equal to the maximal height of its minimal primes (also known as the big height), or equivalently, the maximal…
We prove that, for the edge ideal of a cactus graph, the arithmetical rank is bounded above by the sum of the number of cycles and the maximum height of its associated primes. The bound is sharp, but in many cases it can be improved.…
Let F be a smooth surface in a smooth projective threefold T, and let X=2F be the first infinitesimal neighborhood of X in T. A locally Cohen-Macaulay curve C in X gives rise to two effective divisors on F, namely the curve part P of the…
Let $\mathcal{C} \subset \mathbb{P}^r$ be a linearly normal curve of arithmetic genus $g$ and degree $d$. In \cite{SD}, B. Saint-Donat proved that the homogeneous ideal $I(\mathcal{C})$ of $\mathcal{C}$ is generated by quadratic equations…
