Let $D$ be an integrally closed domain with quotient field $K$. Let $A$ be a torsion-free $D$-algebra that is finitely generated as a $D$-module. For every $a$ in $A$ we consider its minimal polynomial $\mu_a(X)\in D[X]$, i.e. the monic…

The ring R of real-exponent polynomials in n variables over any field has global dimension n+1 and flat dimension n. In particular, the residue field k = R/m of R modulo its maximal graded ideal m has flat dimension n via a Koszul-like…

This is the first of a series of two papers in which we present a solution to Manin's Real Multiplication program -- an approach to Hilbert's 12th problem for real quadratic extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ -- in positive characteristic, using…

Given a strictly increasing sequence $\Lambda=(\lambda_n)$ of nonegative real numbers, with $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{\lambda_n}<\infty$, the M\"untz spaces $M_\Lambda^p$ are defined as the closure in $L^p([0,1])$ of the monomials…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Noetherian local ring of prime characteristic $p$ and $Q$ be an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary parameter ideal. We give criteria for F-rationality of $R$ using the tight Hilbert function $H^*_Q(n)=\ell(R/(Q^n)^*$ and the…

Let $S = K[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ denote the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ with each $\mathrm{deg}\ x_i = 1$ and $I \subset S$ a homogeneous ideal of $S$ with $\dim S/I = d$. The Hilbert series of $S/I$ is of the form…

Let $A$ be a non Gorenstein Cohen Macaulay ring of dimension $d\geq 1$, $I$ an ideal of $A$, and suppose $\omega_A$ is a canonical $A$-module. Set $$r(I,\omega_A) = \bigcup_{n \geq 0} (I^{n+1} \omega_A : I^{n} \omega_A) \subseteq A .$$ We…

In this paper we consider extremal and almost extremal bounds on the normal Hilbert coefficients of ${\mathfrak m}$-primary ideals of an analytically unramified Cohen-Macaulay ring $R$ of dimension $d>0$ and infinite residue field. In these…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic two, and let $\lambda$ be a two-part partition of some natural number $r$. Denote the permutation module corresponding to the (maximal) Young subgroup $\Sigma_\lambda$ in $\Sigma_r$ by $M^\lambda$. We…

Considering the deeper reasons of the appearance of a remarkable counterexample by J.~Kaad and M.~Skeide [17] we consider situations in which two Hilbert C*-modules $M \subset N$ with $M^\bot = \{ 0 \}$ over a fixed C*-algebra $A$ of…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring and $M,N$ be finitely generated $R$-modules. We prove a number of results of the form: if $\mbox{Hom}_R(M,N)$ has some nice properties and $\mbox{Ext}^{1 \leq i \leq n}_R(M,N)=0$ for some $n$,…

Let R be a regular ring essentially of finite type over a perfect field k. An R-module M is called a unit R[F]-module if it comes equipped with an isomorphism F*M-->M where F denotes the Frobenius map on Spec R, and F* is the associated…

Let $k$ be an arbitrary field, $\Lambda$ be a $k$-algebra and $V$ be a $\Lambda$-module. When it exists, the universal deformation ring $R(\Lambda,V)$ of $V$ is a $k$-algebra whose local homomorphisms to $R$ parametrize the lifts of $V$ up…

A finitely generated module C over a commutative noetherian ring R is semidualizing if Hom_R(C,C) \cong R and Ext^i_R(C,C) = 0 for all i \geq 1. For certain local Cohen-Macaulay rings (R,m), we verify the equality of Hilbert-Samuel…

For a standard graded algebra $R$, we consider embeddings of the the poset of Hilbert functions of quotients of $R$ into the poset of ideals of $R$, as a way of classification of Hilbert functions. There are examples of rings for which such…

We model the field $F_1$ of one element as a lambda ring $\bf Z$ with the canonical lambda structure. We show that then we can calculate the Riemann zeta function of integers in two ways: the first, geometrical, as a zeta function of the…
