By double ideal quotient, we mean $(I:(I:J))$ where ideals $I$ and $J$. In our previous work [11], double ideal quotient and its variants are shown to be very useful for checking prime divisor and generating primary component. Combining…
These notes are the write-up of my 2008 PCMI lectures on multiplier ideals. They aim to give an introduction to the algebro-geometric side of the theory, with an emphasis on its global aspects. The focus is on concrete examples and…
Given a rational monomial map, we consider the question of finding a toric variety on which it is algebraically stable. We give conditions for when such variety does or does not exist. We also obtain several precise estimates of the degree…
This paper surveys some applications of moduli theory to issues concerning the distribution of rational points on algebraic varieties. It will appear on the proceedings of the Fano Conference.
We consider the problem of determining whether a monomial ideal is dominant. This property is critical for determining for which monomial ideals the Taylor resolution is minimal. We first analyze dominant ideals with a fixed least common…
We describe the ideals, especially the prime ideals, of semirings of polynomials over layered domains, and in particular over supertropical domains. Since there are so many of them, special attention is paid to the ideals arising from…
We study when Taylor resolutions of monomial ideals are minimal. We consider monomial ideals with linear quotients. In particular, we determine precisely the stable ideals and the monomial ideals with linear resolutions having the miminal…
Given two toric ideals $I_1,I_2\subset\si$, it is not always true that $I_1+I_2$ is a toric ideal. Given $I_1,...,I_k\subset\si$ a familly of toric ideals we give necessary conditions in order to have that $I_1+...+I_k$ is a toric ideal.
Given an affine algebraic variety V and a quantization A of its coordinate ring, it is conjectured that the primitive ideal space of A can be expressed as a topological quotient of V. Evidence in favor of this conjecture is discussed, and…
We generalize the Bernstein-Sato polynomials of Budur, Mustata and Saito to ideals in normal semigroup rings. In the case of monomial ideals, we also relate the roots of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial to the jumping coefficients of the…
Let $I_M$ and $I_N$ be defining ideals of toric varieties such that $I_M$ is a projection of $I_N$, i.e. $I_N \subseteq I_M$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the equality $I_M=rad(I_N+(f_1,...,f_s))$, where $f_1,...,f_s$…
We characterize monomial ideals which are intersections of monomial prime ideals and study classes of ideals with this property, among them polymatroidal ideals.
We determine, in a polynomial ring over a field, the arithmetical rank of certain ideals generated by a set of monomials and one binomial.
The reduction number of monomial ideals in the polynomial $K[x,y]$ is studied. We focus on ideals $I$ for which $J=(x^a,y^b)$ is a reduction ideal. The computation of the reduction number amounts to solve linear inequalities. In some…
Statistical models of evolution are algebraic varieties in the space of joint probability distributions on the leaf colorations of a phylogenetic tree. The phylogenetic invariants of a model are the polynomials which vanish on the variety.…
We present an explicit formula for computing toric residues as a quotient of two determinants, a la Macaulay, where the numerator is a minor of the denominator. We also give an irreducible representation of toric residues by extending the…
The toric ideal $I_A$ is splittable if it has a toric splitting; namely, if there exist toric ideals $I_{A_1}, I_{A_2}$ such that $I_A=I_{A_1}+I_{A_2}$ and $I_{A_i}\not =I_{A}$ for all $1 \leq i \leq 2$. We provide a necessary and…
In our earlier article~\cite{CanSakran} we initiated a study of the complement-finite submonoids of the group of integer points of a unipotent linear algebraic group. In the present article, we continue to develop tools and techniques for…
In this paper we develop a new technique to compute the Betti table of a monomial ideal. We present a prototype implementation of the resulting algorithm and we perform numerical experiments suggesting a very promising efficiency. On the…
