This article is a survey of conjectures and results on reductive algebraic groups having good reduction at a suitable set of discrete valuations of the base field. Until recently, this subject has received relatively little attention, but…
The reduction number r(A) of a standard graded algebra A is the least integer k such that there exists a minimal reduction J of the homogeneous maximal ideal m of A such that Jm^k=m^{k+1}. Vasconcelos conjectured that the reduction number…
Koszul homology of monomial ideals provides a description of the structure of such ideals, not only from a homological point of view (free resolutions, Betti numbers, Hilbert series) but also from an algebraic viewpoint. In this paper we…
Cohen-Macaulayness, unmixedness, the structure of the canonical module and the stability of the Hilbert function of algebraic residual intersections are studied in this paper. Some conjectures about these properties are established for…
We present a constructive description of minimal reductions with a given reduction number. This description has interesting consequences on the minimal reduction number, the big reduction number, and the core of an ideal. In particular, it…
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 construct a free resolution of $R/I^s$ over $R$ where $I\ideal R$ is generated by a (finite or infinite) regular sequence. This generalizes the Koszul complex for the case $s=1$. For $s>1$, we easily deduce that the algebra structure of…
In previous work, the authors introduced the notion of Q-Koszul algebras, as a tool to "model" module categories for semisimple algebraic groups over fields of large characteristics. Here we suggest the model extends to small…
In \cite{rees} Rees gave a characterization for the normal joint reduction number zero of two $\m$-primary ideals in an analytically unramified Cohen-Macaulay local ring of dimension two. Rees' result is a generalization of Zariski's…
For any ideal $I$ of finite projective dimension in a commutative noetherian local ring $R$, we prove that if the conormal module $I/I^2$ has finite projective dimension over $R/I$, then $I$ must be generated by a regular sequence. This…
In a previous paper we exhibited the somewhat surprising property that most direct links of prime ideals in Gorenstein rings are equimultiple ideals with reduction number $1$. This led to the construction of large families of…
Koszul modules and their associated resonance schemes are objects appearing in a variety of contexts in algebraic geometry, topology, and combinatorics. We present a proof of an effective version of the Chen ranks conjecture describing the…
We prove an equivalent condition for the existence of a link between prime ideals in terms of the structure of a certain cohomology module. We use this formulation to answer an open question regarding the nature of module extensions over…
It is proved, as was conjectured by Eisenbud-Koh-Stillman, that for a finitely generated graded module $M$ over the symmetric algebra $S(V)$, if the Koszul group ${\cal K}_{p,0}(M,V)\ne 0$, then the set of rank 1 relations in $M_0\otimes V$…
For a commutative ring R with an ideal I, generated by a finite regular sequence, we construct differential graded algebras which provide R-free resolutions of I^s and of R/I^s for s>0 and which generalise the Koszul resolution. We derive…
This is the third in a series of papers highlighting the applications of reduced and coreduced modules. Let $R$ be a commutative unital ring and $I$ be an ideal of $R$. We show in different settings that $I$-reduced (resp. $I$-coreduced)…
We extend two well-known results on primitive ideals in enveloping algebras of semisimple Lie algebras, the `Irreducibility theorem' and `Duflo theorem', to much wider classes of algebras. Our general version of Irreducibility theorem says…
Several spectral sequence techniques are used in order to derive information about the structure of finite free resolutions of graded modules. These results cover estimates of the minimal number of generators of defining ideals of…
This article concerns linear parts of minimal resolutions of finitely generated modules over commutative local, or graded rings. The focus is on the linearity defect of a module, which marks the point after which the linear part of its…
In this paper, we prove that the variety $C_m(L)$ of commuting $m$-tuples of elements of simple Lie algebra $L$ is often reducible. Explicitely, we prove it is reducible for all simple Lie algebra $L$ not isomorphic to $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ and…
