Abstract

For a positive integer $k$ and a non-negative integer $t$ a class of simplicial complexes, to be denoted by $k$-${\rm CM}_t$, is introduced. This class generalizes two notions for simplicial complexes: being $k$-Cohen-Macaulay and $k$-Buchsbaum. In analogy with the Cohen-Macaulay and Buchsbaum complexes, we give some characterizations of ${\rm CM}_t(=$1-${\rm CM}_t)$ complexes, in terms of vanishing of some homologies of its links and, in terms of vanishing of some relative singular homologies of the geometric realization of the complex and its punctured space. We show that a complex is $k$-${\rm CM}_t$ if and only if the links of its nonempty faces are $k$-${\rm CM}_{t-1}$. We prove that for an integer $s\le d$, the $(d-s-1)$-skeleton of a $(d-1)$-dimensional $k$-${\rm CM}_t$ complex is $(k+s)$-${\rm CM}_t$. This result generalizes Hibi's result for Cohen-Macaulay complexes and Miyazaki's result for Buchsbaum complexes.

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.
