Abstract

We say that a commutative ring R satisfies the restricted minimum (RM) condition if for all essential ideals I in R, factor R/I is an Artinian ring. We will focus on Noetherian reduced rings because in this setting known results for RM domains generalize well. However, as we will show, RM rings need not be Noetherian and may have nilpotent elements. One of the classic results in the theory of RM rings is that for Noetherian domains RM condition corresponds to having Krull dimension at most one. We will show that this can be generalized to reduced Noetherian rings, thus proving that affine rings corresponding to curves are RM. We will give examples showing that the assumption that the ring is reduced is not superfluous. We will prove that CDR domains are RM and this will allow us to give a new characterization of Dedekind domains. Examples of RM rings for various classes of rings will be given. In particular, we will show that a ring of polynomials R[x] is RM if and only if R is reduced Artinian ring. And we will study the relation between RM rings and UFDs.

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.
