We construct a new class of maximal acyclic matchings on the Salvetti complex of a locally finite hyperplane arrangement. Using discrete Morse theory, we then obtain an explicit proof of the minimality of the complement. Our construction…

This article investigates the relationship between Betti numbers of finitely generated modules over a Noetherian local ring $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ and the structure of formal local cohomology modules. We establish a connection between the…

A central question in arrangement theory is to determine whether the characteristic polynomial $\Delta_q$ of the algebraic monodromy acting on the homology group $H_q(F(\mathcal{A}),\mathbb{C})$ of the Milnor fiber of a complex hyperplane…

In this thesis we study when a homogeneous polynomial $f$ decomposes or "splits" additively. Up to base change this means that it is possible to write $f = g + h$ where $g$ and $h$ are polynomials in independent sets of variables. This…

The vertex cover ideal $J(G)$ of a finite graph $G$ is studied. We characterize when a Cohen--Macaulay vertex cover ideal $J(G)$ has a Scarf minimal free resolution. Furthermore, by using both combinatorial and topological techniques, the…

We prove a bound conjectured by Itenberg on the Betti numbers of real algebraic hypersurfaces near non-singular tropical limits. These bounds are given in terms of the Hodge numbers of the complexification. To prove the conjecture we…

We derive a number of upper and lower bounds for the first nontrivial eigenvalue of a finite quantum graph in terms of the edge connectivity of the graph, i.e., the minimal number of edges which need to be removed to make the graph…

We find a finite free resolution of the counit of the free unitary quantum groups of van Daele and Wang and, more generally, Bichon's universal cosovereign Hopf algebras with a generic parameter matrix. This allows us to compute Hochschild…

Let $K$ be a non-empty set of ideals of the commutative ring $R$, closed under taking smaller ideals. A subset $X$ of the group ring $R[\mathbb{Z}^s]$ is called a $K$-set if the ideal generated by the coefficients of the elements of $X$ is…

Let $k$ be a field and $R=k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]/I=S/I$ a graded ring. Then $R$ has a $t$-linear resolution if $I$ is generated by homogeneous elements of degree $t$, and all higher syzygies are linear. Thus $R$ has a $t$-linear resolution if…

The Koszul homology of modules of the polynomial ring $R$ is a central object in commutative algebra.It is strongly related with the minimal free resolution of these modules, and thus with regularity, Hilbert functions, etc. Here we…

We apply some basic notions from combinatorial topology to establish various algebraic properties of edge ideals of graphs and more general Stanley-Reisner rings. In this way we provide new short proofs of some theorems from the literature…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a hyperplane arrangement in $\mathbb{CP}^n$. We define a quadratic form $Q$ on $\mathbb{R}^{\mathcal{H}}$ that is entirely determined by the intersection poset of $\mathcal{H}$. Using the Bogomolov-Gieseker inequality…

The holonomic rank of the A-hypergeometric system M_A(\beta) is the degree of the toric ideal I_A for generic parameters; in general, this is only a lower bound. To the semigroup ring of A we attach the ranking arrangement and use this…

We study forms $I=(f_1,\ldots,f_r)$, $\deg f_i=d_i$, in $F$ which is the free associative algebra $k\langle x_1,\ldots,x_n\rangle$ or the polynomial ring $k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, where $k$ is a field and $\deg x_i=1$ for all $i$. We say that…

Let $A$ be an associative algebra over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic 0. A decomposition $A=A_1\oplus\cdots \oplus A_r$ of $A$ into a direct sum of $r$ vector subspaces is called a \textsl{regular decomposition} if, for…

Let $R$ be a regular ring containing a field $k$. Let $\mathbf{x} = x_1, \ldots, x_r$ be a regular sequence in $R$ such that $R/(\mathbf{x})$ is a regular ring. Fix $m \geq 1$. Set $A_m = R/(\mathbf{x})^m$. We show that for any ideal $Q$ of…

Suppose the ground field to be algebraically closed and of characteristic different from $2$ and $3$. All Heisenberg Lie superalgebras consist of two super versions of the Heisenberg Lie algebras, $\frak{h}_{2m,n}$ and $\frak{ba}_n$ with…

We propose a method for reduction of quantum systems with arbitrary first class constraints. An appropriate mathematical setting for the problem is homology of associative algebras. For every such an algebra $A$ and its subalgebra B with an…

We determine the codimension of the Betti strata of the family G(H) parametrizing graded Artinian quotients A of the polynomial ring R in two variables, having Hilbert function H. The Betti stratum G(B,H) parametrizes all such quotients…
