On the Regularity of Codimension Two Surfaces and Threefolds with Singular Loci

ABSTRACT

For projective codimension two surfaces and threefolds whose singular locus is one dimensional, we get the sharp Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity bound in terms of degrees of defining equations and give the classification of nearly extremal cases. This is a generalization of the result of Bertram et al.     

Castelnuovo–Mumford Regularity of Some Modules

We give bounds for the Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity of the so-called sequentially κ-Buchsbaum modules and of the canonical modules of certain rings.     

Castelnuovo–Mumford Regularity of Associated Graded Modules and Fiber Cones of Filtered Modules

We give bounds on the Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity of the associated graded module of an arbitrary good filtration and of its fiber cone. These bounds extend previous results of Rossi–Trung–Valla and Linh.     

Finiteness of Hilbert functions and bounds for Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of initial ideals

Bounds for the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity and Hilbert coefficients are given in terms of the arithmetic degree (if the ring is reduced) or in terms of the defining degrees. From this it follows that there exists only a finite number of Hilbert functions associated with reduced algebras over an algebraically closed field with a given arithmetic degree and dimension. A good bound is also given for the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of initial ideals which depends neither on term orders nor on the coordinates and holds for any field.

     

A Few Remarks About the Hilbert Scheme of Smooth Projective Curves

We discuss two conjectures by Francesco Severi and Joe Harris about the irreducibility and the dimension of the Hilbert scheme parameterizing smooth projective curves of given degree and genus.     

The Hilbert Scheme Parameterizing Finite Length Subschemes of the Line with Support at the Origin

We introduce symmetrizing operators of the polynomial ring A[x] in the variable x over a ring A. When A is an algebra over a field k these operators are used to characterize the monic polynomials F(x) of degree n in A[x] such that A _k k[x]_(x)/(F(x)) is a free A-module of rank n. We use the characterization to determine the Hilbert scheme parameterizing subschemes of length n of k[x]_(x).     

Castelnuovo–Mumford Regularity and Gorensteinness of Fiber Cone

In this article, we study the Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity and Gorenstein properties of the fiber cone. We obtain upper bounds for the Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity of the fiber cone and obtain sufficient conditions for the regularity of the fiber cone to be equal to that of the Rees algebra. We obtain a formula for the canonical module of the fiber cone and use it to study the Gorenstein property of the fiber cone.     

Segments and Hilbert schemes of points

Using results obtained from a study of homogeneous ideals sharing the same initial ideal with respect to some term order, we prove the singularity of the point corresponding to a segment ideal with respect to a degreverse term order (as, for example, the degrevlex order) in the Hilbert scheme of points in Pⁿ. In this context, we look into the properties of several types of “segment” ideals that we define and compare. This study also leads us to focus on the connections between the shape of generators of Borel ideals and the related Hilbert polynomial, thus providing an algorithm for computing all saturated Borel ideals with a given Hilbert polynomial.
