We define a closure operation for ideals in a commutative ring which has all the good properties of solid closure (at least in the case of equal characteristic) but such that also every ideal in a regular ring is closed. This gives in…

Let $T$ be a complete local (Noetherian) ring of characteristic zero. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for $T$ to be the completion of a quasi-excellent local domain. In the case that $T$ contains the rationals, we provide…

Extended plus (epf) closure and rank 1 (r1f) closure are two closure operations introduced by Raymond C. Heitmann for rings of mixed characteristic. Recently, he and Linquan Ma proved that epf closure satisfies the usual colon-capturing…

It is known that a two-dimensional $F$-rational ring has a rational singularity. However a two-dimensional ring with a rational singularity is not $F$-rational in general. In this paper, we investigate $F$-rationality of a two-dimensional…

We expand the notion of core to $cl$-core for Nakayama closures $cl$. In the characteristic $p>0$ setting, when $cl$ is the tight closure, denoted by *, we give some examples of ideals when the core and the *-core differ. We note that…

We present a systematic study for the limit closure $(\underline{x})^{\lim}$ of a sequence of elements $\underline{x}$ (eg. a system of of parameters) in a local ring. Firstly, we answer the question which elements are always contained in…

Let $T$ be a local (Noetherian) ring and let $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ be prime ideals of $T$. We find sufficient conditions for there to exist a quasi-excellent local subring $B$ of $T$ satisfying the following conditions: (1) the completion of $B$…

We introduce an operation on modules over an $F$-finite ring of characteristic $p$. We call this operation \emph{tight interior}. While it exists more generally, in some cases this operation is equivalent to the Matlis dual of tight…

We define a duality operation connecting closure operations, interior operations, and test ideals, and describe how the duality acts on common constructions such as trace, torsion, tight and integral closures, and divisible submodules. This…

This paper studies the jumping coefficients of principal ideals of regular local rings. Recently M. Blickle, M. Mustata and K. Smith showed that, when $R$ is of essentially finite type over a field and $F$-finite, bounded intervals contain…

We prove that in normal rings the tight closure of an ideal can be computed as the sum of the ideal and a piece of the tight closure, called the special tight closure.

In a formally unmixed Noetherian local ring, if the colength and multiplicity of an integrally closed ideal agree, then $R$ is regular. We deduce this using the relationship between multiplicity and various ideal closure operations.

We associate to every equicharacteristic zero Noetherian local ring $R$ a faithfully flat ring extension which is an ultraproduct of rings of various prime characteristics, in a weakly functorial way. Since such ultraproducts carry…

We give a partial characterization for when the difference $e(\mathfrak{q})-\ell_R(R/\mathfrak{q}^F)$ is independent of the choice of parameter ideal $\mathfrak{q}\subseteq R$ in an excellent equidimensional local ring $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ of…

We prove that a complete local or graded one-dimensional domain of prime characteristic has finite F-representation type if its residue field is algebraically closed or finite, and present examples of a complete local or graded…

Generalizing previous work of the first author, we introduce and study a characteristic free analog of the $F$-threshold for non-principal ideals, BCM-thresholds. We show that this coincides with the classical $F$-threshold for weakly…

In this article, we construct integrally closed modules of rank two over a two-dimensional regular local ring. The modules are explicitly constructed from a given complete monomial ideal with respect to a regular system of parameters. Then…

Let (T,M) be a complete local domain containing the integers. Let p1 \subseteq p2 \subseteq ... \subseteq pn be a chain of nonmaximal prime ideals T such that T_pn is a regular local ring. We construct a chain of excellent local domains An…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be an ideal of closed subsets of a topological space $X$. Consider the ring, $C(X)_\mathcal{P}$ of real valued functions on $X$ whose closure of discontinuity set is a member of $\mathcal{P}$. We investigate the ring…

We prove that a Noetherian ring $R$ is a splinter if and only if for every equidimensional surjective morphism $\operatorname{Spec}(S) \to \operatorname{Spec}(R)$, the map $R \to S$ is pure. This yields a large, nontrivial class of ring…
