For modules over a finite-dimensional algebra, there is a canonical one-to-one correspondence between the projective indecomposable modules and the simple modules. In this purely expository note, we take a straight-line path from the…
For an arithmetically Cohen--Macaulay subscheme of projective space, there is a well-known bound for the highest degree of a minimal generator for the defining ideal of the subscheme, in terms of the Hilbert function. We prove a natural…
In a recent preprint, Gullerud and Walker [2] proved a theorem and made a conjecture about the correctness of efficiently generating B\'ezout trees for Pythagorean pairs. In this note, we give a simple proof of their theorem, confirm that…
We investigate various homotopy invariant formulations of commutative algebra in the context of rational homotopy theory. The main subject is the complete intersection condition, where we show that a growth condition implies a structure…
Existence of superdecomposable pure-injective modules reflects complexity in the category of finite-dimensional representations over an algebra. Such an existence occurs when an algebra is non-domestic; a conjecture due to M. Prest. G.…
A ring with a test module of finite upper complete intersection dimension is complete intersection.
We classify canonical algebras such that for every dimension vector of a regular module the corresponding module variety is normal (respectively, a complete intersection). We also prove that for the dimension vectors of regular modules…
Copi, Huterer, Starkman and Schwarz introduced multipole vectors in a tensor context and used them to demonstrate that the first-year WMAP quadrupole and octopole planes align at roughly the 99.9% confidence level. In the present article…
We study syzygies of (maximal) Cohen-Macaulay modules over one dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local rings. We compare these modules to Cohen-Macaulay modules over the endomorphism ring of the maximal ideal. After this comparison, we give…
We show that the property of a standard graded algebra R being Cohen-Macaulay is characterized by the existence of a pure Cohen-Macaulay R-module corresponding to any degree sequence of length at most depth(R). We also give a relation in…
By definition, the intersection of finitely many open sets of any topological space is open. Nachbin observed that, more generally, the intersection of compactly many open sets is open. Moreover, Nachbin applied this to obtain elegant…
Interpreting the syzygy theorem for tame modules over posets in the setting of derived categories of subanalytically constructible sheaves proves two conjectures due to Kashiwara and Schapira concerning the existence of stratifications of…
The geometric aspects of mirror symmetry are reviewed, with an eye towards future developments. Given a mirror pair (X,Y) of Calabi-Yau threefolds, the best-understood mirror statements relate certain small corners of the moduli spaces of X…
In a previous article (J. Algebra 367 (2012), 142-165) we established axiomatic parametrised Cohen-Macaulay approximation which in particular was applied to pairs consisting of a finite type flat family of Cohen-Macaulay rings and modules.…
It is proved that a multiset of permissible arcs over a tiling is uniquely determined by its intersection vector under a mild condition. This generalizes a classical result over marked surfaces with triangulations. We apply this result to…
Every quotient R/I of a semigroup ring R by a radical monomial ideal I has a unique minimal injective-like resolution by direct sums of quotients of R modulo prime monomial ideals. The quotient R/I is Cohen-Macaulay if and only if every…
In this work, we study the Betti numbers of pinched Veronese rings, by means of the reduced homology of squarefree divisor complexes. We characterize when these rings are Cohen-Macaulay and we the study the shape of the Betti tables for the…
In this paper, we prove an intersection-theoretic result pertaining to curves in certain Hilbert modular surfaces in positive characteristic. Specifically, we show that given two appropriate curves C,D parameterizing abelian surfaces with…
In this work we describe the local cohomology of reflexive modules of rank one over normal semigroup rings with respect to monomial ideals. Using our description we show that the problem of classifying maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules of rank…
Two families $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ of sets are said to be cross-intersecting if each member of $\mathcal{A}$ intersects each member of $\mathcal{B}$. For any two integers $n$ and $k$ with $0 \leq k \leq n$, let ${[n] \choose \leq…
