We will use commutators to provide decompositions of $3\times 3$ matrices as sums whose terms satisfy some polynomial identities, and we apply them to bounded linear operators and endomorphisms of free modules of infinite rank. In…

We study the algebraic sets of pairs of matrices defined by the vanishing of the anti-diagonal as well as the cross-diagonal of their commutator matrix. We prove that, over a field of prime characterisitic, the coordinate ring of the latter…

Let $K$ be a field and $X$, $Y$ denote matrices such that, the entries of $X$ are either indeterminates over $K$ or $0$ and the entries of $Y$ are indeterminates over $K$ which are different from those appearing in $X$. We consider ideals…

Let $(R, \mathfrak m)$ be a commutative noetherian local ring. We investigate under which conditions an $R$-module $M$ is generated by an ideal $I$, i.e. there exists an epimorphism $I^{(\Lambda)} \twoheadrightarrow M$. If $M$ is uniserial,…

White's conjecture predicts quadratic generators for the ideal of any matroid base polytope. We prove that White's conjecture for any matroid $M$ implies it also for any matroid $M'$, where $M$ and $M'$ differ by one basis. Our study is…

White's conjecture asserts that any two tuples of matroid bases that have the same multi-set union can be transformed from one to another by symmetric exchanges; it also implies that the toric ideals of matroids are generated by the…

Macaulay's theorem and Fr\"oberg's conjecture deal with the Hilbert function of homogeneous ideals in polynomial rings $S$ over a field $K$. In this short note we present some questions related to variants of Macaulay's theorem and…

We study how Betti numbers of ideals in a local ring change under small perturbations. Given $p\in\mathbb N$ and given an ideal $I$ of a Noetherian local ring $(R,\mathfrak m)$, our main result states that there exists $N>0$ such that if…

According to Ogg's conjecture (Mazur's Theorem), cuspidal subgroup coincides with rational torsion points of the Jacobian variety of modular curves of the form $X_0(N)$ for a {\it prime} number $N$. There is a recent interest to generalize…

We will explore some properties of minimal graded free resolutions of $R/I$, where $R$ is a trivariate polynomial ring over a field and $I$ is a monomial ideal. Our focus will be to consider a specific form of the resolutions when $I$ is…

For a multidegree t in N^n, E.Miller has defined a category of positively t-determined modules over the polynomial ring S in n variables. We consider the Auslander-Reiten translate, Na_t, on the (derived) category of such modules. A…

We introduce and study monomial ideals with regular quotients, which can be seen as an extension of monomial ideals with linear quotients. Based on these investigations, we are able to calculate the Betti numbers of toric ideals belonging…

We propose and discuss how basic notions (quadratic modules, positive elements, semialgebraic sets, Archimedean orderings) and results (Positivstellensaetze) from real algebraic geometry can be generalized to noncommutative $*$-algebras. A…

Let $I_1,\dots,I_n$ be ideals generated by linear forms in a polynomial ring over an infinite field and let $J = I_1 \cdots I_n$. We describe a minimal free resolution of $J$ and show that it is supported on a polymatroid obtained from the…

We study two long-standing conjectures concerning lower bounds for the Betti numbers of a graded module over a polynomial ring. We prove new cases of these conjectures in codimensions five and six by reframing the conjectures as arithmetic…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field, and let $S=\mathbb{K}[X_1, ..., X_n]$ be the polynomial ring. Let $I$ be a monomial ideal of $S$ with up to 5 generators. In this paper, we present a computational experiment which allows us to prove that…

We classify reflexive graded right ideals, up to isomorphism and shift, of generic cubic three dimensional Artin-Schelter regular algebras. We also determine the possible Hilbert functions of these ideals. These results are obtained by…

We introduce a new numerical invariant $\gamma_I(M)$ associated to a finite-length $R$-module $M$ and an ideal $I$ in an Artinian local ring $R$. This invariant measures the ratio between $\lambda(IM)$ and $\lambda(M/IM)$. We establish…

We show that the Stanley's Conjecture holds for an intersection of four monomial prime ideals of a polynomial algebra $S$ over a field and for an arbitrary intersection of monomial prime ideals $(P_i)_{i\in [s]}$ of $S$ such that…

We initiate a unified, axiomatic study of noncommutative algebras R whose prime spectra are, in a natural way, finite unions of commutative noetherian spectra. Our results illustrate how these commutative spectra can be functorially ``sewn…
