On the regularity of binomial edge ideals

We study the regularity of binomial edge ideals. For a closed graph G we show that the regularity of the binomial edge ideal coincides with the regularity of and can be expressed in terms of the combinatorial data of G. In addition, we give positive answers to Matsuda‐Murai conjecture 8 for some classes of graphs.     

Oriented tree diagram Lie algebras and their abelian ideals

We introduce oriented tree diagram Lie algebras which are generalized from Xu＇s both upward and downward tree diagram Lie algebras, and study certain numerical invariants of these algebras related to abelian ideals.     

Betti numbers of some monomial ideals

In this paper we compute the graded Betti numbers of certain monomial ideals that are not stable. As a consequence we prove a conjecture, stated by G. Fatabbi, on the graded Betti numbers of two general fat points in

     

Normalization of monomial ideals and Hilbert functions

We study the normalization of a monomial ideal, and show how to compute its Hilbert function (using Ehrhart polynomials) if the ideal is zero dimensional. A positive lower bound for the second coefficient of the Hilbert polynomial is shown.

     

Ring graphs and complete intersection toric ideals

We study the family of graphs whose number of primitive cycles equals its cycle rank. It is shown that this family is precisely the family of ring graphs. Then we study the complete intersection property of toric ideals of bipartite graphs and oriented graphs. An interesting application is that complete intersection toric ideals of bipartite graphs correspond to ring graphs and that these ideals are minimally generated by Gröbner bases. We prove that any graph can be oriented such that its toric ideal is a complete intersection with a universal Gröbner basis determined by the cycles. It turns out that bipartite ring graphs are exactly the bipartite graphs that have complete intersection toric ideals for any orientation.     

Licci ideals and the non-almost complete intersection locus

We extend results of Huneke and Ulrich on the structure of ideals in the linkage class of a complete intersection, for the class of ideals which are linked to a complete intersection in an even number of steps. In particular for such ideals the non-almost complete intersection locus has codimension at most ten.

     

Symbolic powers,Serre conditions and Cohen-Macaulay Rees algebras

Summary LetR be a Cohen-Macaulay ring andI an unmixed ideal of heightg which is generically a complete intersection and satisfiesI ⁽ⁿ⁾=Iⁿ for alln≥1. Under what conditions will the Rees algebra be Cohen-Macaulay or have good depth? A series of partial answers to this question is given, relating the Serre condition (S _r ) of the associated graded ring to the depth of the Rees algebra. A useful device in arguments of this nature is the canonical module of the Rees algebra. By making use of the technique of the fundamental divisor, it is shown that the canonical module has the expected form: ω _R[It] ≅(t(1−t) ^g−2).

Powers of edge ideals with linear resolutions

We show that if G is a gap-free and diamond-free graph, then I(G)^s has a linear minimal free resolution for every s≥2.     

Modules and ideals of algebras of associative type

In this paper, we study some properties of algebras of associative type introduced in previous papers of the author. We show that a finite-dimensional algebra of associative type over a field of zero characteristic is homogeneously semisimple if and only if a certain form defined by the trace form is nonsingular. For a subclass of algebras of associative type, it is proved that any module over a semisimple algebra is completely reducible. We also prove that any left homogeneous ideal of a semisimple algebra of associative type is generated by a homogeneous idempotent.     

Some Boolean algebras with finitely many distinguished ideals II

We describe the countably saturated models and prime models (up to isomorphism) of the theory Th_prin of Boolean algebras with a principal ideal, the theory Th_max of Boolean algebras with a maximal ideal, the theory Th_ac of atomic Boolean algebras with an ideal such that the supremum of the ideal exists, and the theory Th_sa of atomless Boolean algebras with an ideal such that the supremum of the ideal exists. We prove that there are infinitely many completions of the theory of Boolean algebras with a distinguished ideal that do not have a countably saturated model. Also, we give a sufficient condition for a model of the theory T_X of Boolean algebras with distinguished ideals to be elementarily equivalent to a countably saturated model of T_X.     

Rees Algebras of Modules

We study Rees algebras of modules within a fairly general framework.We introduce an approach through the notion of Bourbaki idealsthat allows the use of deformation theory. One can talk aboutthe (essentially unique) generic Bourbaki ideal I(E) of a moduleE which, in many situations, allows one to reduce the natureof the Rees algebra of E to that of its Bourbaki ideal I(E).Properties such as Cohen–Macaulayness, normality and beingof linear type are viewed from this perspective. The known numericalinvariants, such as the analytic spread, the reduction numberand the analytic deviation, of an ideal and its associated algebrasare considered in the case of modules. Corresponding notionsof complete intersection, almost complete intersection and equimultiplemodules are examined in some detail. Special consideration isgiven to certain modules which are fairly ubiquitous becauseinteresting vector bundles appear in this way. For these modulesone is able to estimate the reduction number and other invariantsin terms of the Buchsbaum–Rim multiplicity. 2000 MathematicsSubject Classification 13A30 (primary), 13H10, 13B21 (secondary)     

Diagonal invariant ideals of Toeplitz algebras on discrete groups

Diagonal invariant ideals of Toeplitz algebras defined on discrete groups are introduced and studied. In terms of isometric representations of Toeplitz algebras associated with quasi-ordered groups, a character of a discrete group to be amenable is clarified. It is proved that whenG is Abelian, a closed twosided non-trivial ideal of the Toeplitz algebra defined on a discrete Abelian ordered group is diagonal invariant if and only if it is invariant in the sense of Adji and Murphy, thus a new proof of their result is given.
