We consider the problem of minimizing a polynomial function over the integer lattice. Though impossible in general, we use a known sufficient condition for the existence of continuous minimizers to guarantee the existence of integer…

Let $K$ be a field, $S$ a polynomial ring and $E$ an exterior algebra over $K$, both in a finite set of variables. We study rigidity properties of the graded Betti numbers of graded ideals in $S$ and $E$ when passing to their generic…

In this expositional paper, we discuss commutative algebra -- a study inspired by the properties of integers, rational numbers, and real numbers. In particular, we investigate rings and ideals, and their various properties. After, we…

A symmetric ideal is an ideal in a polynomial ring which is stable under all permutations of the variables. In this paper we initiate a global study of zero-dimensional symmetric ideals. By this we mean a geometric study of the invariant…

Let $J\subset I$ be ideals in a formally equidimensional local ring with $\lambda(I/J)<\infty.$ Rees proved that for all $n\gg0$, $\lambda(I^n/J^n)$ is a polynomial $P(I/J)(X)$ in $n$ of degree at most dim $R$ and $J$ is a reduction of $I$…

There is a natural infinite graph whose vertices are the monomial ideals in a polynomial ring. The definition involves Gr\"obner bases or the action of an algebraic torus. We present algorithms for computing the (affine schemes…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a regular local ring or a polynomial ring over a field, and let $I$ be an ideal of $R$ which we assume to be graded if $R$ is a polynomial ring. Let astab$(I)$ resp. $\overline{\rm astab}(I)$ be the smallest…

We introduce the theory of monoidal Groebner bases, a concept which generalizes the familiar notion in a polynomial ring and allows for a description of Groebner bases of ideals that are stable under the action of a monoid. The main…

In this paper we solve a problem posed by M.E. Rossi: {\it Is the Hilbert function of a Gorenstein local ring of dimension one not decreasing? } More precisely, for any integer $h>1$, $h \notin\{14+22k, \, 35+46k \ | \ k\in\mathbb{N} \}$,…

The criterion for an affine primary algebra over the field to be integral, is proven. Using this criterion we give a simple proof that Hilbert scheme of 0-dimensional subschemes of length $l$ of nonsingular $d$-dimensional algebraic variety…

Very little is known on the Hilbert series of graded algebras $\mathbb C[x_1,\ldots,x_n]/(g_1,\ldots,g_r)$, $r>n$, $g_i$ generic form of degree $e_i$, in general. One instance when the series is known, is for $n+1$ forms in $n$ variables,…

The Hilbert function of a module over a positively graded algebra is of quasi-polynomial type (Hilbert--Serre). We derive an upper bound for its grade, i.e. the index from which on its coefficients are constant. As an application, we give a…

Given a nonincreasing function $f : \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0} \setminus \{ 0 \} \to \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$ such that (i) $f(k) - f(k+1) \leq 1$ for all $k \geq 1$ and (ii) if $a = f(1)$ and $b = \lim_{k \to \infty} f(k)$, then $|f^{-1}(a)| \leq…

Let $(R,\frak{m})$ be a $d$-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local ring, $I$ an $\frak{m}$-primary ideal and $J$ a minimal reduction of $I$. In this paper we study the independence of reduction ideals and the behavior of the higher Hilbert…

We generalize the notion of Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity of a graded triple $(M,R,I)$ in characteristic $p>0$ by proving that for any complex number $y$, the limit $$\underset{n \to \infty}{\lim}(\frac{1}{p^n})^{\text{dim}(M)}\sum \limits_{j=…

The Hilbert depth of a module M is the maximum depth that occurs among all modules with the same Hilbert function as M. In this note we compute the Hilbert depths of the powers of the irrelevant maximal ideal in a standard graded polynomial…

Let $R$ be a positively graded algebra over a field. We say that $R$ is Hilbert-cyclotomic if the numerator of its reduced Hilbert series has all of its roots on the unit circle. Such rings arise naturally in commutative algebra, numerical…

We prove that if M is a finitely-generated module of dimension d with finite local cohomologies over a Noetherian local ring, and if the ith local cohomology module of M is zero unless i = d, i = 0, and i = r for some r strictly between 0…

Let $S$ be a polynomial ring over a field $K$, with a monomial order $\prec$, and let $I$ be an unmixed graded ideal of $S$. In this paper we study two functions associated to $I$: the minimum distance function $\delta_I$ and the footprint…
