The purpose of this note is to revisit the results of arXiv:1407.4324 from a slightly different perspective, outlining how, if the integral closures of a finite set of prime ideals abide the expected convexity patterns, then the existence…

Let $T$ be a complete local (Noetherian) ring. For each $i \in \mathbb{N}$, let $C_i$ be a nonempty countable set of nonmaximal pairwise incomparable prime ideals of $T$, and suppose that if $i \neq j$, then either $C_i = C_j$ or no element…

In this article we extend independent results of Lusztig and H\'ezard concerning the existence of irreducible characters of finite reductive groups, (defined in good characteristic and arising from simple algebraic groups), satisfying a…

Let R be a regular, local and F-finite ring defined over a field of finite characteristic. Let I be an ideal of height c with normal quotient $A=R/I$. It is shown that the local cohomology module H^c_I(R) contains a unique simple…

We characterize the tight closure of graded primary ideals in a homogeneous coordinate ring over an elliptic curve by numerical conditions and we show that it is in positive characteristic the same as the plus closure.

We provide a negative answer to an old question in tight closure theory by showing that the containment x^3y^3 \in (x^4,y^4,z^4)^* in K[x,y,z]/(x^7+y^7-z^7) holds for infinitely many but not for almost all prime characteristics of the field…

Building on previous work by the same authors, we show that certain ideals defining Gorenstein rings have expected resurgence, and thus satisfy the stable Harbourne Conjecture. In prime characteristic, we can take any radical ideal defining…

In this work we attempt to generalize our result in [6] [7] for real rings (not just von Neumann regular real rings). In other words we attempt to characterize and construct real closure * of commutative unitary rings that are real. We also…

We prove a characterization of F-rationality in terms of tight closure of products of parameter ideals. Our results are inspired by the theory of complete ideals for surfaces and, in particular, the fundamental results of Lipman-Teissier…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a local Noetherian ring with residue field $k$. While much is known about the generating sets of reductions of ideals of $R$ if $k$ is infinite, the case in which $k$ is finite is less well understood. We…

We investigate the higher divisorial ideal $D(I):= Ann(Ext^g_R(R/I,R))$ associated to an ideal I of grade g. Our main focus is the containment problem $D(I) \subseteq \overline{I}$. We show that this inclusion holds for broad classes of…

The (full) extended plus closure was developed as a replacement for tight closure in mixed characteristic rings. Here it is shown by adapting Andr\'{e}'s perfectoid algebra techniques that, for complete local rings that have F-finite…

We associate to every equicharacteristic zero Noetherian local ring $R$ a faithfully flat ring extension which is an ultraproduct of rings of various prime characteristics, in a weakly functorial way. Since such ultraproducts carry…

Let $\frak a$ be an ideal of a commutative noetherian ring $R$ with unity and $M$ an $R$-module supported at $\V(\fa)$. Let $n$ be the supermum of the integers $i$ for which $H^{\fa}_i(M)\neq 0$. We show that $M$ is $\fa$-cofinite if and…

This paper purposes to characterize Noetherian local rings $(A, {\mathfrak m})$ of positive dimension such that the first Hilbert coefficients of ${\mathfrak m}$-primary ideals in $A$ range among only finitely many values. Examples are…

Let $\hat{R}$ be the $I$-adic completion of a commutative ring $R$ with respect to a finitely generated ideal $I$. We give a necessary and sufficient criterion for the category of perfect complexes over $\hat{R}$ to be equivalent to the…

For a Noetherian local domain $R$ let $R^+$ be the absolute integral closure of $R$ and let $R_{\infty}$ be the perfect closure of $R$, when $R$ has prime characteristic. In this paper we investigate the projective dimension of residue…

We study the ring extensions R \subseteq T having the same set of prime ideals provided Nil(R) is a divided prime ideal. Some conditions are given under which no such T exist properly containing R. Using idealization theory, the examples…

In this paper we prove the existence of a uniform bound for Frobenius test exponents for parameter ideals of a local ring $(R, \frak m)$ of prime characteristic in the following cases: (1) $R$ is generalized Cohen-Macaulay. Our proof is…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module. Under various hypotheses, it is proved that the center of $\mbox{End}_R(M)$ coincides with the endomorphism ring of the trace ideal of $M$. These results are…
