In this paper, we study a class of toric ideals obtained by using some geometric data of ADE trees which are the minimal resolution graphs of rational surface singularities. We compute explicit Gr\"obner bases for these toric ideals that…

In this paper, we consider the normality or the integer decomposition property (IDP, for short) for Minkowski sums of integral convex polytopes. We discuss some properties on the toric rings associated with Minkowski sums of integral convex…

In 1980, White conjectured that the toric ideal associated to a matroid is generated by binomials corresponding to a symmetric exchange. In this paper, we prove that classes of matroids for which the toric ideal is generated by quadrics and…

Positive polynomials arising from Muirhead's inequality, from classical power mean and elementary symmetric mean inequalities and from Minkowski's inequality can be rewritten as sums of squares.

Let $G$ be a simple graph on the vertex set $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ with $m$ edges. An algebraic object attached to $G$ is the ideal $P_{G}$ generated by diagonal 2-minors of an $n \times n$ matrix of variables. In this paper we prove that if $G$…

A graph-theoretic method, simpler than existing ones, is used to characterize the minimal set of monomial generators for the integral closure of any algebra of polynomials generated by quadratic monomials. The toric ideal of relations…

We investigate Gr\"obner bases of contraction ideals under some monomial homomorphisms. As an application of our theorem, we generalize the result of Aoki--Hibi--Ohsugi--Takemura and Hibi-Ohsugi. Using our results, one can provide many…

In this article we prove that every toric ideal associated with a gap-free graph $G$ has a squarefree lexicographic initial ideal. Moreover, in the particular case when the complementary graph of $G$ is chordal (i.e. when the edge ideal of…

In pioneering works of Meyer and of McMullen in the early 1970s, the set of Minkowski summands of a polytope was shown to be a polyhedral cone called the type cone. Explicit computations of type cones are in general intractable.…

Artinian integrally closed monomial ideals are characterized by their Newton polyhedra, which are lattice polyhedra inside the positive orthant having the positive orthant as their recession cone. Multiplication of such ideals correspond to…

We investigate the structure of the Minkowski sum of standard simplices in ${\reals}^r$. In particular, we investigate the one-dimensional structure, the vertices, their degrees and the edges in the Minkowski sum polytope.

Hara, Takemura and Yoshida discuss toric ideals arising from two way subtable sum problems and shows that these toric ideals are generated by quadratic binomials if and only if the subtables are either diagonal or triangular. In the present…

We investigate the structure of ideals generated by binomials (polynomials with at most two terms) and the schemes and varieties associated to them. The class of binomial ideals contains many classical examples from algebraic geometry, and…

Let $G$ be a finite connected simple graph and $I_{G}$ the toric ideal of the edge ring $K[G]$ of $G$. In the present paper, we study finite graphs $G$ with the property that $I_{G}$ is generated by quadratic binomials and $I_{G}$ possesses…

In this paper, we study toric ideals generated by circuits. For toric ideals which have squarefree quadratic initial ideals, a sufficient condition to be generated by circuits is given. In particular, squarefree Veronese subrings, the…

Let I be the toric ideal of a homogeneous normal configuration. We prove that I is generated by circuits if and only if each unbalanced circuit of I has a "connector" which is a linear combination of circuits with a square-free term. In…

Minkowski sums of simplices in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ form an interesting class of polytopes that seem to emerge in various situations. In this paper we discuss the Minkowski sum of the simplices $\Delta_{k-1}$ in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ where $k$ and…

Let $a, b$ and $n > 1$ be three positive integers such that $a$ and $\sum_{j=0}^{n-1} b^j$ are relatively prime. In this paper, we prove that the toric ideal $I$ associated to the submonoid of $\mathbb{N}$ generated by $\{\sum_{j=0}^{n-1}…

We connect the existence of a ternary classical universal quadratic form over a totally real number field $K$ with the property that all totally positive multiples of 2 are sums of squares (if $K$ does not contain $\sqrt 2$ or contains a…

Let $A=\{{\bf a}_1,...,{\bf a}_m\} \subset \mathbb{Z}^n$ be a vector configuration and $I_A \subset K[x_1,...,x_m]$ its corresponding toric ideal. The paper consists of two parts. In the first part we completely determine the number of…
