Let R be a local Cohen-Macaulay ring with canonical module \omega_R. We investigate the following question of Huneke: If the sequence of Betti numbers \{\beta_i^R(\omega_R)\} has polynomial growth, must R be Gorenstein? This question is…

We show how for a three-dimensional complete local ring in positive characteristic, the existence of an F-invariant, differentiable derivation implies Hochster's small MCM conjecture. As an application we show that any three-dimensional…

An element $x \in R$ is considered (strongly) nil-clean if it can be expressed as the sum of an idempotent $e \in R$ and a nilpotent $b \in R$ (where $eb = be$). If for any $x \in R$, there exists a unit $u \in R$ such that $ux$ is…

Let $(R,m)$ be a Noetherian local ring of dimension $d$ and $K,Q$ be $m$-primary ideals in $R.$ In this paper we study the finiteness properties of the sets $\Lambda_i^K(R):=\{g_i^K(Q): Q$ is a parameter ideal of $R\},$ where $g_i^K(Q)$…

A new class of rings, the class of left localizable rings, is introduced. A ring $R$ is left localizable if each nonzero element of $R$ is invertible in some left localization $S^{-1}R$ of the ring $R$. Explicit criteria are given for a…

Let (R,m) be a Noetherian local ring of depth d and C a semidualizing R-complex. Let M be a finite R-module and t an integer between 0 and d. If G_C-dimension of M/IM is finite for all ideals I generated by an R-regular sequence of length…

We study the properties of F-rationality and F-regularity in multigraded rings and their diagonal subalgebras. The main focus is on diagonal subalgebras of bigraded rings: these constitute an interesting class of rings since they arise…

We show that the F-signature of an F-finite local ring R of characteristic p >0 exists when R is either the localization of an $\mathbf{N}$-graded ring at its irrelevant ideal or $\mathbf{Q}$-Gorenstein on its punctured spectrum. This…

The multiplicity conjecture of Herzog, Huneke, and Srinivasan is verified for the face rings of the following classes of simplicial complexes: matroid complexes, complexes of dimension one and two, and Gorenstein complexes of dimension at…

The theory of boundary regularity for $p$-harmonic functions is extended to unbounded open sets in complete metric spaces with a doubling measure supporting a $p$-Poincar\'e inequality, $1<p<\infty$. The barrier classification of regular…

Let $(R, \frak m)$ be a generalized Cohen-Macaulay local ring of dimension $d$, and $f_1, \ldots, f_r$ a part of system of parameters of $R$. In this paper we give explicit numbers $N$ such that the lengths of all lower local cohomology…

In this paper, various Homological Conjectures are studied for local rings which are locally finitely generated over a discrete valuation ring $V$ of mixed characteristic. Typically, we can only conclude that a particular Conjecture holds…

We study how the properties of being reduced, integral domain, and normal, behave under small perturbations of the defining equations of a noetherian local ring. It is not hard to show that the property of being a local integral domain…

We study how solid closure in mixed characteristic behaves after taking ultraproducts. The ultraproduct will be chosen so that we land in equal characteristic, and therefore can make a comparison with tight closure. As a corollary we get an…

We search for principal ideals. As a sample, let $R$ be a strongly-normal, almost-factorial, and complete-intersection local ring with a prime ideal $P$ of height one. If $depth(R/ P)\geq dim R-2$, we show $P$ is principal. As an immediate…

We establish the local $C^{1, \alpha}$ regularity of minimizers for functionals of the form $$w\to \int_{\Omega}(|\nabla w|^p-fw) dx + \int_{\mathbb{R}^n}\int_{\mathbb{R}^n} \frac{|w(x)-w(y)|^q}{|x-y|^{n+sq}}dx\, dy,$$ where $s \in (0, 1)$,…

The main result of the paper states that for a graded ideal I in a polynomial ring R over a field of characteristic 0, the Hilbert functions of the local cohomology modules of R/I and of R/Gin(I) coincide if and only if R/I is sequentially…

We prove that if the first tight Hilbert coefficient vanishes then ring is $F$-rational provided it is a Buchsbaum local ring satisfying the $(S_2)$ condition.

We are working in the category of commutative unital rings and denote by $\mathrm U(R)$ the group of units of a nonzero ring $R$. An extension of rings $R\subseteq S$, satisfying $\mathrm U(R)=R \cap\mathrm U(S)$ is usually called local.…

This gives an alternate proof of the Theorem by the authors that shows the first Hilbert coefficient of parameter ideals in an unmixed Noetherian local ring is always negative unless the ring is Cohen--Macaulay.
