We study the dependence of graded Betti numbers of monomial ideals on the characteristic of the base field. The examples we describe include bipartite ideals, Stanley--Reisner ideals of vertex-decomposable complexes and ideals with…
Let $G$ be a semisimple, simply connected algebraic group defined and split over a prime field ${\mathbb F}_p$ of positive characteristic. For a positive integer $r$, let $G_r$ be the $r$th Frobenius kernel of $G$. Let $Q$ be a projective…
A refined notion of curvature for a linear system of Hermitian vector spaces, in the sense of Grothendieck, leads to the unitary classification of a large class of analytic Hilbert modules. Specifically, we study Hilbert sub-modules, for…
We study the depth properties of the associated graded ring of an m-primary ideal I in terms of numerical data attached to the ideal I. We also find bounds on the Hilbert coefficients of I by means of the Sally module S_J(I) of I with…
Boij-S\"oderberg theory describes the Betti diagrams of graded modules over the polynomial ring up to multiplication by a rational number. Analog Eisenbud-Schreyer theory also describes the cohomology tables of vector bundles on projective…
An FI- or an OI-module $\mathbf{M}$ over a corresponding noetherian polynomial algebra $\mathbf{P}$ may be thought of as a sequence of compatible modules $\mathbf{M}_n$ over a polynomial ring $\mathbf{P}_n$ whose number of variables depends…
We develop and study a Lefschetz theory in a combinatorial category associated to a root system and derive an upper bound on the exceptional characteristics for Lusztig's formula for the simple rational characters of a reductive algebraic…
We relate a certain category of sheaves of k-vector spaces on a complex affine Schubert variety to modules over the k-Lie algebra (for ch k>0) or to modules over the small quantum group (for ch k=0) associated to the Langlands dual root…
In this paper I consider a quintic surface in $\pp^3$, general in the sense of Noether-Lefschetz theory. The vector bundles of rank 2 on this surface which are $\mu$-stable with respect to the hyperplane section and have $c_1 = K$, the…
For a reduced curve $C:f=0$ in the complex projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2$, we study the set of jumping lines for the rank two vector bundle $T\langle C \rangle $ on $\mathbb{P}^2$, whose sections are the logarithmic vector fields along…
The depth of a vector bundle E over the projective plane P^2 is the largest integer h such that [E]/h is in the Grothendieck group of coherent sheaves on P^2 where [E] is the class of E in this Grothendieck group. We show that a moduli…
We investigate the structure and representation theory of finite-dimensional $\mathbb{Z}$-graded Lie algebras, including the corresponding root systems and Verma, irreducible, and Harish-Chandra modules. This extends the familiar theory for…
We prove an upper bound for the first Betti number of a nontrivial genus-$g$ Lefschetz fibration. We also show that if the monodromy of a Lefschetz fibration is transitive with respect to the mapping class group, the Lefschetz fibration is…
This article is concerned with graded modules M with linear resolutions over a standard graded algebra R. It is proved that if such an M has Hilbert series $H_M(s)$ of the form $ps^d+qs^{d+1}$, then the algebra R is Koszul; if, in addition,…
Let $V$ be a simple vertex operator algebra containing a rank $n$ Heisenberg vertex algebra $H$ and let $C=\text{Com}\left( {H}, {V}\right)$ be the coset of ${H}$ in ${V}$. Assuming that the representation categories of interest are vertex…
Most applications of the hard Lefschetz theorem related to combinatorial properties of simplicial complexes involve their $h$-vectors. In the context of positivity properties involving $h$-vectors of flag spheres, $f$-vectors with a…
Using purely combinatorial methods we calculate the first degree cohomology of Specht modules indexed by two part partitions over fields of characteristic $p\ge 3$. These combinatorial methods also allow us to obtain an explicit description…
The conjecture of Kalai, Kleinschmidt, and Lee on the number of empty simplices of a simplicial polytope is established by relating it to the first graded Betti numbers of the polytope. The proof allows us to derive explicit optimal bounds…
Let $A$ be a special homotopy G-algebra over a commutative unital ring $\Bbbk$ such that both $H(A)$ and $\operatorname{Tor}_{i}^{A}(\Bbbk,\Bbbk)$ are finitely generated $\Bbbk$-modules for all $i$, and let $\tau_{i}(A)$ be the cardinality…
We study degree bounds on rational but not necessarily polynomial generators for the field $\mathbf{k}(V)^G$ of rational invariants of a linear action of a finite abelian group. We show that lattice-theoretic methods used recently by the…
