It is proved that given any prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ of height at least 2 in a countable commutative noetherian ring $A$, there are uncountably many more dualizable objects in the $\mathfrak{p}$-local $\mathfrak{p}$-torsion stratum of the…

In this paper, an algebraic theory for local rings of finite embedding dimension is developed. Several extensions of (Krull) dimension are proposed, which are then used to generalize singularity notions from commutative algebra. Finally,…

In this note, we show that $O(\log (1/\epsilon))$ rounds of parallel repetition with a threshold suffice to reduce completeness and soundness error to $\epsilon$ for single-prover quantum interactive proof systems. This improves on a…

The F-threshold $c^J(\a)$ of an ideal $\a$ with respect to the ideal $J$ is a positive characteristic invariant obtained by comparing the powers of $\a$ with the Frobenius powers of $J$. We show that under mild assumptions, we can detect…

We call a set of positive integers closed under taking unitary divisors a unitary ideal. It can be regarded as a simplicial complex. Moreover, a multiplicative arithmetical function on such a set corresponds to a function on the simplicial…

Let $R$ be a regular local ring of dimension at least 2. Associated to each valuation domain birationally dominating $R$, there exists a unique sequence $\{R_n\}$ of local quadratic transforms of $R$ along this valuation domain. We consider…

Let $S = K[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ denote the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ with each $\mathrm{deg}\ x_i = 1$ and $I \subset S$ a homogeneous ideal of $S$ with $\dim S/I = d$. The Hilbert series of $S/I$ is of the form…

Let $s(n)$ be the number of different remainders $n \bmod k$, where $1 \leq k \leq \lfloor n/2 \rfloor$. This rather natural sequence is sequence A283190 in the OEIS and while some basic facts are known, it seems that surprisingly it has…

We generalize the formula for the log canonical threshold(LCT) of plane curves over the complex numbers to arbitrary characteristics. Our proof relies purely on valuation theory, instead of on the theory of $D$-modules.

Define $s (n) := n^{- 1} \sigma (n)$ ($\sigma (n):=\sum_{d|n}d )$ and $\omega(n)$ is the number of prime divisors of $n$. One of the properties of $s$ plays a central role: $s (p^a) > s (q^b)$ if $p < q$ are prime numbers, with no special…

For two ideals $I$ and $J$ of a noetherian ring, we characterize, in terms of the vanishing of Tor modules, when the associated graded ring of the sum $I+J$ is isomorphic to the tensor product of the associated graded ring of $I$ and the…

Assume $R$ is a local Cohen-Macaulay ring. It is shown that $\Ass_R (H^l_I(R))$ is finite for any ideal $I$ and any integer $l$ provided $\Ass_R (H^2_{(x,y)}(R))$ is finite for any $x,y\in R$ and $\Ass_R (H^3_{(x_1,x_2,y)}(R))$ is finite…

We prove the following result, which is motivated by the recent work of Kurano and Roberts on Serre's positivity conjecture. Assume that (R,m) is a local ring with finitely-generated module M such that R/ann(M) is quasi-unmixed and contains…

Let $A = K[X_1,...,X_n]$ and let $I$ be a graded ideal in $A$. We show that the upper bound of Multiplicity conjecture of Herzog, Huneke and Srinivasan holds asymptotically (i.e., for $I^k$ and all $k \gg 0$) if $I$ belongs to any of the…

Let $S_\epsilon$ be a set of $N$ points in a bounded hyperconvex domain in $C^n$, all tending to 0 as$\epsilon$ tends to 0. To each set $S_\epsilon$ we associate its vanishing ideal $I_\epsilon$ and the pluricomplex Green function…

When I is an ideal of a standard graded algebra S with homogeneous maximal ideal \mm, it is known by the work of several authors that the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of I^m ultimately becomes a linear function dm + e for m \gg 0. We give…

Let I be an m-primary ideal of a Noetherian local ring (R,m) of positive dimension. The coefficient $e_1(A)$ of the Hilbert polynomial of an I-admissible filtration A is called the Chern number of A. The Positivity Conjecture of Vasconcelos…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian local ring. We prove that $R$ is regular of dimension at most four if, and only if, every prime ideal, defining a Gorenstein quotient ring, is syzygetic. We deduce a characterization of these rings in terms of the…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian $\mathbb{N}$-graded ring. Let $L$, $M$ and $N$ be finitely generated graded $R$-modules with $N \subseteq M$. For a homogeneous ideal $I$, and for each fixed $k \in \mathbb{N}$, we show the asymptotic linearity of…

It is proved that a module $M$ over a Noetherian local ring $R$ of prime characteristic and positive dimension has finite flat dimension if Tor$_i^R({}^e R, M)=0$ for dim $R$ consecutive positive values of $i$ and infinitely many $e$. Here…
