A minimal monomial ideal is the combinatorially simplest monomial ideal whose lcm-lattice equals a given finite atomic lattice $\hat{L}$. The minimal ideal inherits many nice properties of any ideal $I$ whose lcm-lattice also equals…

A solution concept on a class of transferable utility coalitional games is a multifunction satisfying given criteria of economic rationality. Every solution associates a set of payoff allocations with a coalitional game. This general…

In this paper, we view the collection of ideals of a commutative principal ideal ring from two perspectives: one as an ordered semigroup I(R) and the other as a category I_R . It is shown that I(R) is a regular ordered semigroup whereas I_R…

Let $A = K[x_1, ..., x_n]$ denote the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ with each $\deg x_i = 1$. Let $I$ be a homogeneous ideal of $A$ with $I \ne A$ and $H_{A/I}$ the Hilbert function of the quotient algebra $A / I$. Given…

Let $A$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring with maximal ideal $\mathfrak{m}$, and let $I$ be an ideal. The fiber cone is then an image of the polynomial ring over the residue field $A/\mathfrak{m}$. The kernel of this map is called the…

We consider the multiplier ideals of the ideal of a reduced union of lines through the origin in C^3. For general arrangements of lines, we calculate the multiplier ideals.

A chopped ideal is obtained from a homogeneous ideal by considering only the generators of a fixed degree. We investigate cases in which the chopped ideal defines the same finite set of points as the original one-dimensional ideal. The…

Let $\mathcal{I}(R)$ be the set of all ideals of a ring $R$, $\delta$ be an expansion function of $\mathcal{I}(R)$. In this paper, the $\delta$-$J$-ideal of a commutative ring is defined, that is, if $a, b\in R$ and $ab\in I\in…

A retract of a graph $\Gamma$ is an induced subgraph $\Psi$ of $\Gamma$ such that there exists a homomorphism from $\Gamma$ to $\Psi$ whose restriction to $\Psi$ is the identity map. A graph is a core if it has no nontrivial retracts. In…

We define an index of a collection of 1-forms on a complex isolated complete intersection singularity corresponding to a Chern number and, in the case when the 1-forms are complex analytic, express it as the dimension of a certain algebra.

We determine in an explicit way the depth of the fiber cone and its relation ideal for classes of monomial ideals in two variables. These classes include concave and convex ideals as well as symmetric ideals.

Let R be a local Cohen-Macaulay ring, let I be an R-ideal, and let G be the associated graded ring of I. We give an estimate for the depth of G when G is not necessarily Cohen-Macaulay. We assume that I is either equimultiple, or has…

A set of meet-irreducible ideals is described for a class of maximal triangular almost finite algebras. This set forms a topological space under the hull-kernel closure, and there is a one-to-one correspondence between closed sets in this…

A discrete map based on the sum of an integer's distinct primes factors and the sum of its other factors is defined and its iteration is studied.

Let $R$ be a ring with identity and $I(X,R)$ be the incidence algebra of a locally finite partially ordered set $X$ over $R.$ In this paper, we compute the socle and the singular ideal of the incidence ring for some $X$ in terms of the…

Let $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over a field $K$, and let $A$ be a finitely generated standard graded $S$-algebra. We show that if the defining ideal of $A$ has a quadratic initial ideal, then all the graded components of…

The object of our investigation is a point that gives the maximum value of a potential with a strictly decreasing radially symmetric kernel. It defines a center of a body in Rm. When we choose the Riesz kernel or the Poisson kernel as the…

Ideals generated by adjacent 2-minors are studied. First, the problem when such an ideal is a prime ideal as well as the problem when such an ideal possesses a quadratic Gr\"obner basis is solved. Second, we describe explicitly a primary…

Let A be a commutative ring and I an ideal of A with a reduction Q. In this paper we give an upper bound on the reduction number of I with respect to Q, when a suitable family of ideals in A is given. As a corollary it follows that if some…
