Abstract

The Goto number of a parameter ideal Q in a Noetherian local ring (R,m) is the largest integer q such that Q : m^q is integral over Q. The Goto numbers of the monomial parameter ideals of R = k[[x^{a_1}, x^{a_2},..., x_{a_ν}]] are characterized using the semigroup of R. This helps in computing them for classes of numerical semigroup rings, as well as on a case-by-case basis. The minimal Goto number of R and its connection to other invariants is explored. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the associated graded rings of R and R/x^{a_1}R to be Gorenstein are also given, again using the semigroup of R.

On triviality of $\mathbb{A}^2$-forms admitting a nontrivial $\mathbb{G}_a$-action

T. Kambayashi had shown that $\mathbb{A}^2$-forms over separable field extensions are necessarily polynomial rings. However, there exist inseparable $\mathbb{A}^2$-forms which are not necessarily polynomial rings. In this paper, we give a structure theorem for $\mathbb{A}^2$-forms over arbitrary field extensions admitting a nontrivial $\mathbb{G}_a$-action. From this structure theorem we derive some conditions under which an $\mathbb{A}^2$-form becomes trivial. In particular, we prove that over a field $k$, a factorial $\mathbb{A}^2$-form having a $k$-rational point and a non-trivial $\mathbb{G}_a$-action is trivial and we also give examples demonstrating that none of these hypotheses can be discarded. As a consequence of the structure theorem, we obtain a generalization of the Zariski Cancellation Theorem for the affine plane over an arbitrary field.

Symbolic powers of the ideal of$n$ general points in $P^{n-1}$

Problem L of Fröberg--Lundqvist--Oneto--Shapiro asks for the difference between the Hilbert series of ordinary and symbolic powers of the ideal of general points in projective space. We solve this completely for \(n\) general points of \(\PP^{n-1}\). Besides a closed formula for \[ \HS(S/I^m)-\HS(S/I^{(m)}), \] we determine all minimal monomial generators of \(I^{(m)}\), and describe the symbolic Rees algebra. We also show that containment \(I^{(m)}\subseteq I^r\) is detected solely by initial degrees. This gives the exact containment threshold, the Waldschmidt constant \(\walpha\), the resurgence \(\Res\), and the asymptotic resurgence \(\aRes\): \[ \walpha(I)=\frac{n}{n-1}, \qquad \Res(I)=\aRes(I)=\frac{2(n-1)}{n}. \] We also take the first step beyond \(n\) points: for \(n+1\) general points of \(\PP^{n-1}\) --- again a rigid, non-monomial configuration --- we identify the defining quadrics, resolve the case \(n=3\) completely (a complete intersection, with \(J^{(m)}=J^m\) for all \(m\) and resurgence \(1\)), and propose an exact Waldschmidt-constant formula \(\walpha=\frac{n+1}{n-1}\) for all \(n\), verified computationally in every case we could check.
