Let $H$ denote a finite index subgroup of the modular group $\Gamma$ and let $\rho$ denote a finite-dimensional complex representation of $H.$ Let $M(\rho)$ denote the collection of holomorphic vector-valued modular forms for $\rho$ and let…

Let M, N be free modules over a Noetherian commutative ring R and let F be a field such that card(F) does not exceed the continuum. Then : (1) The assertion that [Any two F-vector spaces with isomorphic duals are isomorphic] is equivallent…

We introduce to the context of multigraded modules the methods of modules over categories from algebraic topology and homotopy theory. We develop the basic theory quite generally, with a view toward future applications to a wide class of…

The aim of this note is to discuss the following quite queer Problem: \noindent GIVEN \noindent i) the free non-commutative polynomial ring, ${\Cal P} := {\Bbb F}\langle X_1,\ldots,X_n\rangle$ {\em (public)}, \noindent ii) a bilateral ideal…

An affine oriented matroid is a combinatorial abstraction of an affine hyperplane arrangement. From it, Novik, Postnikov and Sturmfels constructed a squarefree monomial ideal in a polynomial ring, called an oriented matroid ideal, and got…

Numerical semigroups with multiplicity $m$ are parameterized by integer points in a polyhedral cone $C_m$, according to Kunz. For the toric ideal of any such semigroup, the main result here constructs a free resolution whose overall…

In this article we introduce a new matroid invariant, a combinatorial analog of the topological zeta function of a polynomial. More specifically we associate to any ranked, atomic meet-semilattice L a rational function Z(L,s), in such a way…

We associate to every matroid M a polynomial with integer coefficients, which we call the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of M, in analogy with Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials in representation theory. We conjecture that the coefficients are always…

Let $V_{n+K}=V_{n+K}\left(x_{1},...,x_{n+K}\right)$ denote the vector space of all multilinear polynomials in $x_{1},...,x_{n+K}$ over $\mathbb{F},$ a field of characteristic zero. In this paper we investigate the structure of the…

It is well known that linear rank-metric codes give rise to q-polymatroids. Analogously to matroid theory one may ask whether a given q-polymatroid is representable by a rank-metric code. We provide an answer by presenting an example of a…

We introduce various quantities that can be defined for an arbitrary matroid, and show that certain conditions on these quantities imply that a matroid is not representable over $\mathbb{F}_q$ where $q$ is a prime power. Mostly, for a…

For any ideal $I$ in a Noetherian local ring or any graded ideal $I$ in a standard graded $K$-algebra over a field $K$, we introduce the socle module $\mathrm{Soc}(I)$, whose graded components give us the socle of the powers of $I$. It is…

In recent years, the combinatorial properties of monomials ideals and binomial ideals have been widely studied. In particular, combinatorial interpretations of free resolution algorithms have been given in both cases. In this present work,…

Let $F_n$ be the free group on $n\ge 2$ elements and $\A(F_n)$ its group of automorphisms. In this paper we present a rich collection of linear representations of $\A(F_n)$ arising through the action of finite index subgroups of it on…

Squarefree monomial ideals arising from finite meet-semilattices and their free resolutions are studied. For the squarefree monomial ideals corresponding to poset ideals in a distributive lattice the Alexander dual is computed.

We let S denote the ring of polynomial functions on the space of m x n matrices, and consider the action of the group GL = GL_m x GL_n via row and column operations on the matrix entries. For a GL-invariant ideal I in S we show that the…

In this paper we prove that the Stanley--Reisner ideal or cover ideal $I$ of a matroid is minimally resolvable by iterated mapping cones. As a technical tool for this purpose, we introduce and study focal matroids, which are submatroids of…

Suppose $F$ is an infinite field and let $f \in F\{X_1, \dots,X_m\}$ be a noncommutative polynomial. Partially answering a query of Makar-Limanov, we show that there are numbers $d$ and $m'$ such that, if $F$ is closed under taking $d$th…

In this paper we primarily study monomial ideals and their minimal free resolutions by studying their associated LCM lattices. In particular, we formally define the notion of coordinatizing a finite atomic lattice P to produce a monomial…
