Let (R,m,k) be a one-dimensional analytically unramified local ring with minimal prime ideals P_1,...,P_s. Our ultimate goal is to study the direct-sum behavior of maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over R. Such behavior is encoded by the…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a hypersurface local ring of dimension $d \geq 1$ and let $I$ be an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal. We show that there is a non-negative integer $r_I$ (depending only on $I$) such that if $M$ is any non-free maximal…

In this paper, we present an algorithm for computing the minimal reductions of $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideals of Cohen--Macaulay local rings. Using this algorithm, we are able to compute the Hilbert--Samuel multiplicities and solve the…

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…

The purpose of this note is to show that a finitely generated graded module $M$ over $S=k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, $k$ a field, is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay if and only if its arithmetic degree ${\rm adeg}(M)$ agrees with ${\rm adeg}(F/{\rm…

Let $I$ be a homogeneous ideal in the polynomial ring $R = k[z_1, \cdots, z_n]$ , where $k$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Macaulay's Theorem provides constraints on the Hilbert function of $I$ or $R/I$ from one…

For an ideal $I$ in a local ring $(R, \fm)$, we prove that the integer-valued function $\ell_R(H^0_\fm(R/I^{n+1}))$ is a polynomial for $n$ big enough if either $I$ is a principle ideal or $I$ is generated by part of an almost p-standard…

For a partition $\lambda$ of $n \in {\mathbb N}$, let $I^{\rm Sp}_\lambda$ be the ideal of $R=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ generated by all Specht polynomials of shape $\lambda$. In the previous paper, the second author showed that if $R/I^{\rm…

We study monomial ideals using the operation polarization to first turn them into square-free monomial ideals. We focus on monomial ideals whose polarization produce simplicial trees, and show that many of the properties of simplicial trees…

Let R be a commutative Noetherian (not necessarily local) ring with identity and a be a proper ideal of R. We introduce a notion of a-relative system of parameters and characterize them by using the notion of cohomological dimension. Also,…

Given any diagonal cyclic subgroup $\Lambda \subset GL(n+1,k)$ of order $d$, let $I_d\subset k[x_0,\ldots, x_n]$ be the ideal generated by all monomials $\{m_{1},\ldots, m_{r}\}$ of degree $d$ which are invariants of $\Lambda$. $I_d$ is a…

In analogy with the classical, affine toric rings, we define a local toric ring as the quotient of a regular local ring modulo an ideal generated by binomials in a regular system of parameters with unit coefficients; if the coefficients are…

Let $R$ be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring of dimension $d$ with infinite residue field. Let $I$ be an $R$-ideal that has analytic spread $\ell(I)=d$, $G_d$ condition and the Artin-Nagata property $AN^-_{d-2}$. We provide a formula relating the…

The aim of this paper is to define the notion of the Cohen-Macaulay cone of a Noetherian local domain R and to present its application to the theory of Hilbert-Kunz functions. It has been shown in Kurano's paper "Numerical equivalence…

We compute the minimal primary decomposition for completely squarefree lexsegment ideals. We show that critical squarefree monomial ideals are sequentially Cohen-Macaulay. As an application, we give a complete characterization of the…

The set of the first Hilbert coefficients of parameter ideals relative to a module--its Chern coefficients--over a local Noetherian ring codes for considerable information about its structure--noteworthy properties such as that of…

In this paper, we explore the relation between the index of reducibility and the Hilbert coefficients in local rings. Consequently, the main result of this study provides a characterization of a sequentially Cohen-Macaulay ring in terms of…

This paper shows the existence of ideals whose localizations and completions at prime ideals are parameter test ideals of the localized and completed rings. We do this for Cohen-Macaulay localizations (resp., completions) of non-local…

Let $I$ be a monomial ideal of the polynomial ring $S=K[x_1,...,x_4]$ over a field $K$. Then $S/I$ is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay if and only if $S/I$ is pretty clean. In particular, if $S/I$ is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay then $I$ is a…
