We prove that the arithmetic degree of a graded or local ring is bounded above by the arithmetic degree of any of its associated graded rings with respect to ideals $I$ in $A$. In particular, if $Spec (A)$ is equidimensional and has an…

Let $R$ be a normal Noetherian local domain of Krull dimension two. We examine intersections of rank one discrete valuation rings that birationally dominate $R$. We restrict to the class of prime divisors that dominate $R$ and show that if…

We introduce a naive notion of a system of parameters for a homologically finite complex over a commutative noetherian local ring, and compare it to the system of parameters defined by Christensen. We show that these notions differ in…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring graded by a torsionfree abelian group $G$. We introduce the notion of $G$-graded irreducibility and prove that $G$-graded irreducibility is equivalent to irreducibility in the usual sense. This is a…

We address two aspects of finitely generated modules of finite projective dimension over local rings and their connection in between: embeddability and grade of order ideals of minimal generators of syzygies. We provide a solution of the…

The $\mathcal{R}$-height of a semigroup $S$ is the height of the poset of $\mathcal{R}$-classes of $S,$ i.e. the supremum of the lengths of chains of $\mathcal{R}$-classes. Given a semigroup $S$ with finite $\mathcal{R}$-height, we…

We establish the following two main results on order types of points in general position in the plane (realizable simple planar order types, realizable uniform acyclic oriented matroids of rank $3$): (a) The number of extreme points in an…

We generalize, for integral curves, a celebrated result of Max Noether on global sections of the n-dualizing sheaf of a smooth nonhyperelliptic curve. This is our main result. We also obtain an embedding of a non-Gorenstein curve in a way…

We develop a theory of levels for irreducible representations of symmetric groups of degree $n$ analogous to the theory of levels for finite classical groups. A key property of level is that the level of a character, provided it is not too…

A theorem of O. Forster says that if $R$ is a noetherian ring of Krull dimension $d$, then any projective $R$-module of rank $n$ can be generated by $d+n$ elements. S. Chase and R. Swan subsequently showed that this bound is sharp: there…

It is known that the initial ideals of generic ideals are the same. Moreno-Soc\'{i}as conjectured that the initial ideal of generic ideals with respect to the degree reverse lexicographic order is weakly reverse lexicographic. In the first…

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…

Let $R$ be a commutative $G$-graded ring with a nonzero unity. In this article, we introduce the concept of graded radically principal ideals. A graded ideal $I$ of $R$ is said to be graded radically principal if $Grad(I)=Grad(\langle…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module. Under various hypotheses, it is proved that the center of $\mbox{End}_R(M)$ coincides with the endomorphism ring of the trace ideal of $M$. These results are…

The genus of projective curves discretely separates decidedly different two variable algebraic relations. So, we can focus on the connected moduli M_g of genus g curves. Yet, modern applications require a data variable (function) on such…

Let $M$ be a finite module over a commutative noetherian ring $R$. For ideals $\fa$ and $\fb$ of $R$, the relations between cohomological dimensions of $M$ with respect to $\fa, \fb$, $\fa\cap\fb$ and $\fa+ \fb$ are studied. When $R$ is…

This Note provides first a generalization of the stabilization result of Eisenbud and Ulrich for the regularity of powers of a m-primary ideal to the case of ideals that are not generated in a single degree. We then partially extend our…

The existence of the Gorenstein projective precovers over arbitrary rings is an open question. It is known that if the ring has finite Gorenstein global dimension, then every module has a Gorenstein projective precover. We prove here a…

Let \chi be an irreducible character of the finite group G. If g is an element of G and \chi(g) is not zero, then we conjecture that the order of g divides |G|/\chi(1). The conjecture is a generalization of the classical fact that…

Let I be a finitely supported complete m-primary ideal of a regular local ring (R, m). A theorem of Lipman implies that I has a unique factorization as a *-product of special *-simple complete ideals with possibly negative exponents for…
