It is a well-known and easily established fact that every Euclidean domain is also a principal ideal domain. However, the converse statement is not true, and this is usually shown by exhibiting as a counterexample the ring of algebraic…

We study a natural generalization of transversally intersecting smooth hypersurfaces in a complex manifold: hypersurfaces, whose components intersect in a transversal way but may be themselves singular. Such hypersurfaces will be called…

We address the question regarding the structure of the Mitchell order on normal measures. We show that every well founded order can be realized as the Mitchell order on a measurable cardinal $\kappa$ from some large cardinal assumption.

For each countable ordinal $\alpha$, we introduce an ideal $conv_\alpha$ and use it to characterize the class of all compact countable spaces which are homeomorphic to the space $\omega^{\alpha}\cdot n+1$ with the order topology. The…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. An ideal $I$ of $R$ is said to be a big ideal (resp. an upper big ideal) if whenever $J\subsetneqq I$ (resp. $I\subsetneqq J$), $J^{n}\subsetneqq I^{n}$ (resp. $I^{n}\subsetneqq J^{n}$) for every…

The union-closed sets conjecture (sometimes referred to as Frankl's conjecture) states that every finite, nontrivial union-closed family of sets has an element that is in at least half of its members. Although the conjecture is known to be…

In this paper we introduce and study a graph on the set of ideals of a commutative ring $R$. The vertices of this graph are non-trivial ideals of $R$ and two distinct ideals $I$ and $J$ are adjacent if and only $IJ=I\cap J$. We obtain some…

For the family of graded lattice ideals of dimension 1, we establish a complete intersection criterion in algebraic and geometric terms. In positive characteristic, it is shown that all ideals of this family are binomial set theoretic…

Critical ideals generalize the critical group, Smith group and the characteristic polynomials of the adjacency and Laplacian matrices of a graph. We give a complete characterization of the digraphs with at most one trivial critical ideal.…

Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity is a measure of algebraic complexity of an ideal. Regularity of monomial ideals can be investigated combinatorially. We use a simple graph decomposition and results from structural graph theory to prove,…

Let $B \subseteq A$ be an inclusion of C$^*$-algebras. We study the relationship between the regular ideals of $B$ and regular ideals of $A$. We show that if $B \subseteq A$ is a regular C$^*$-inclusion and there is a faithful invariant…

Achieving the goals in the title (and others) relies on a cardinality-wise scanning of the ideals of the poset. Specifically, the relevant numbers attached to the k+1 element ideals are inferred from the corresponding numbers of the…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of $p_g$-ideals and $p_g$-cycles, which inherits nice properties of integrally closed ideals on rational singularities. As an application, we prove an existence of good ideals for two-dimensional…

Given a simplicial complex we associate to it a squarefree monomial ideal which we call the face ideal of the simplicial complex, and show that it has linear quotients. It turns out that its Alexander dual is a whisker complex. We apply…

In this paper we consider monomial localizations of monomial ideals and conjecture that a monomial ideal is polymatroidal if and only if all its monomial localizations have a linear resolution. The conjecture is proved for squarefree…

Generalizing Keisler's notion of regularity for ultrafilters, Taylor introduced degrees of regularity for ideals and showed that a countably complete nonregular ideal on $\omega_1$ must be somewhere $\omega_1$-dense. We prove a dichotomy…

This paper investigates the application of the theoretical algebraic notion of a separable ring extension, in the realm of cyclic convolutional codes or, more generally, ideal codes. We work under very mild conditions, that cover all…

We prove that the $F$-jumping numbers of the test ideal $\tau(X; \Delta, \ba^t)$ are discrete and rational under the assumptions that $X$ is a normal and $F$-finite variety over a field of positive characteristic $p$, $K_X+\Delta$ is…

In this paper it is shown that a sortable ideal $I$ is Freiman if and only if its sorted graph is chordal. This characterization is used to give a complete classification of Freiman principal Borel ideals and of Freiman Veronese type ideals…

Among the several types of closures of an ideal $I$ that have been defined and studied in the past decades, the integral closure $\bar{I}$ has a central place being one of the earliest and most relevant. Despite this role, it is often a…
