We extend the Ax-Katz theorem for a single polynomial from finite fields to the rings Z_m with m composite. This extension not only yields the analogous result, but gives significantly higher divisibility bounds. We conjecture what computer…

In this paper we introduce an algorithm for computing the Stanley depth of a finitely generated multigraded module $M$ over the polynomial ring $\mathbb{K}[X_1, \ldots, X_n]$. As an application, we give an example of a module whose Stanley…

Let R be the quotient of a polynomial ring over a field k by an ideal generated by monomials. We derive a formula for the multigraded Poincare' series of R, i.e., the generating function for the ranks of the modules in a minimal multigraded…

Let A \subseteq B be cancellative abelian semigroups, and let R be an integral domain. We show that the semigroup ring R[B] can be decomposed, as an R[A]-module, into a direct sum of R[A]-submodules of the quotient ring of R[A]. In the case…

We introduce a sequence of isolated curve singularities, the elliptic m-fold points, and an associated sequence of stability conditions, generalizing the usual definition of Deligne-Mumford stability. For every pair of integers 0<m<n, we…

The Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity $\reg(I)$ is one of the most important invariants of a homogeneous ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring. A basic question is how the regularity behaves with respect to taking powers of ideals. It is known that…

Let S be a standard N^r-graded algebra over a local ring A, and let M be a finitely generated Z^r-graded S-module. We characterize the Cohen-Macaulayness of M in terms of the vanishing of certain sheaf cohomology modules. As a consequence,…

We prove that if X is any 2-regular projective scheme (in the sense of Castelnuovo-Mumford) then X is "small". This means that if L is a linear space and Y:= L\cap X is finite, then Y is "linearly independent" in the sense that the…

Let $A$ be a connected graded $k$-algebra with a balanced dualizing complex. We prove that $A$ is a Koszul AS-regular algebra if and only if that the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity and the Ext-regularity coincide for all finitely generated…

Even if a ring A is coherent, the polynomial ring A[X] in one variable could fail to be coherent. In this note we show that A[X] is graded coherent with the standard grading deg X=1. More generally, we give a criterion of graded…

We study the homological algebra of an R = Q/I module M using A-infinity structures on Q-projective resolutions of R and M. We use these higher homotopies to construct an R-projective bar resolution of M, Q-projective resolutions for all…

We introduce and study a notion of Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity suitable for rational normal scroll surfaces. In this setting we prove analogs of some classical properties. We prove splitting criteria for coherent sheaves and a…

Let $k$ be a field with characteristic zero, $R$ be the ring $k[x_1, \cdots, x_n]$ and $I$ be a monomial ideal of $R$. We study the Artinian local algebra $R/I$ when considered as an $R$-module $M$. We show that the largest reduced…

We study the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of tangent cones of Schubert varieties. Conjectures about this statistic are presented; these are proved for the covexillary case. This builds on work of L. Li and the author on these tangent…

Let $R$ be a commutative noetherian ring, and $\mathcal{Z}$ a stable under specialization subset of $\Spec(R)$. We introduce a notion of $\mathcal{Z}$-cofiniteness and study its main properties. In the case $\dim(\mathcal{Z})\leq 1$, or…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity, $S$ a multiplicatively closed subset of $R$, and $M$ be an $R$-module. In this paper, we study and investigate some properties of $S$-primary submodules of $M$. Among the other results, it is…

$V$ is a complete intersection scheme in a multiprojective space if it can be defined by an ideal $I$ with as many generators as $\textrm{codim}(V)$. We investigate the multigraded regularity of complete intersections scheme in…

This paper introduces two new notions of graded linear resolution and graded linear quotients, which generalize the concepts of linear resolution property and linear quotient for modules over the polynomial ring $A=k[x_1, \dots ,x_n]$.…

Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity is an important invariant of projective algebraic varieties. A well known conjecture due to Eisenbud and Goto gives a bound for regularity in terms of the codimension and degree. This conjecture is known to be…

Let A be a Koszul algebra, and $mod A$ the category of finitely generated graded left A-modules. The "linearity defect" ld_A(M) of $M \in mod A$ is an invariant defined by Herzog and Iyengar. An exterior algebra E is a Koszul algebra which…
