Abstract

Geometric vertex decomposition and liaison are two frameworks that have been used to produce similar results about similar families of algebraic varieties. In this paper, we establish an explicit connection between these approaches. In particular, we show that each geometrically vertex decomposable ideal is linked by a sequence of elementary G-biliaisons of height 1 to an ideal of indeterminates and, conversely, that every G-biliaison of a certain type gives rise to a geometric vertex decomposition. As a consequence, we can immediately conclude that several well-known families of ideals are glicci, including Schubert determinantal ideals, defining ideals of varieties of complexes, and defining ideals of graded lower bound cluster algebras.

Buchsbaumness, Macaulayfication and Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of monomial curves

Projective monomial curves are associated with rings generated by monomials of equal degree in two variables. In this paper, we give an infinite class of non-smooth, non Cohen-Macaulay $k$-Buchsbaum projective monomial curves for any $k\geq 1$ and find the monomial generators for the respective Macaulayfication. More generally, we demonstrate a method to find the Macaulayfication of a $k$-Buchsbaum monomial curve for any $k\geq 1$. We also discuss Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of certain curves in terms of $k$-Buchsbaumness.

Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of toric varieties with at most one singular point

We establish upper bounds for the Castelnuovo--Mumford regularity of the coordinate ring of a simplicial projective toric variety with at most one singular point. In the smooth case, our results recover the bound of Herzog and Hibi [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 131 (2003), 2641--2647], and therefore the Eisenbud--Goto bound. Furthermore, when the variety has exactly one singular point and dimension at least $3$, we prove that its regularity also satisfies the Eisenbud--Goto bound. The proof combines combinatorial and homological methods: we study the asymptotic behavior of the sumsets associated to the toric variety and relate it to Castelnuovo--Mumford regularity via a Hochster-like formula.

Generalized divisor topology of commutative rings

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with nonzero identity and let $R^\#$ denote the set of its nonzero nonunits. We extend the divisor topology $D(R)$, previously studied for integral domains, to arbitrary commutative rings and introduce the generalized divisor topology $GD(R)$ on $EC(R^\#)$. Its basic open sets are \[ B_a=\{[b]\in EC(R^\#): b\mid a^n \text{ for some }n\geq 1\}. \] The relation \[ [b]\in B_a \quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad \sqrt{aR}\subseteq\sqrt{bR} \] shows that $GD(R)$ records radical divisibility among principal ideals. We prove that $GD(R)$ is an Alexandrov space and identify its Kolmogorov quotient with the poset of radicals of nonzero proper principal ideals. This description yields characterizations of the $T_0$ and discrete properties and of the equality $GD(R)=D(R)$. We also determine the isolated points of $GD(R)$. Further, we characterize nestedness, compactness, the Lindelöf property, and Noetherianity in terms of the order structure of radicals of principal ideals. In particular, for an integral domain $R$, $GD(R)$ is compact if and only if $R$ is a $G$-domain, while for a UFD the Lindelöf and Noetherian properties are determined by the number of nonassociate prime elements. Finally, we study the interaction of $GD(R)$ with multiplication and describe the behavior of its Kolmogorov quotient under surjective homomorphisms with nil kernel.
