Abstract

This note offers an unusual approach of studying a class of modules inasmuch as it is investigating a subclass of the category of modules over a valuation domain. This class is far from being a full subcategory, it is not even a category. Our concern is the subclass consisting of modules of projective dimension not exceeding one, admitting only morphisms whose kernels and cokernels are also objects in this subclass. This class is still tractable, several features are in general simpler than in module categories, but lots of familiar properties are lost. A number of results on modules in this class are similar to those on modules over rank one discrete valuation domains (where the global dimension is 1). The study is considerably simplified by taking advantage of the general theory of modules over valuation domains available in the literature, e.g. in [14]-[15]. Our main goal is to establish the basic features and have a closer look at injectivity, pure-injectivity, and cotorsionness, but we do not wish to enter into an in-depth study of these properties.

Generalized Additive Decompositions of Symmetric Tensors

This article addresses the Generalized Additive Decomposition (GAD) of symmetric tensors, that is, degree-$d$ forms $f \in \mathcal{S}_d$. From a geometric perspective, a GAD corresponds to representing a point on a secant of osculating varieties to the Veronese variety, providing a compact and structured description of a tensor that captures its intrinsic algebraic properties. We provide a linear algebra method for measuring the GAD size and prove that the minimal achievable size, which we call the GAD-rank of the considered tensor, coincides with the rank of suitable Catalecticant matrices, under certain regularity assumptions. We provide a new explicit description of the apolar scheme associated with a GAD as the annihilator of a polynomial-exponential series. We show that if the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of this scheme is sufficiently small, then both the GAD and the associated apolar scheme are minimal and unique. Leveraging these results, we develop a numerical GAD algorithm for symmetric tensors that effectively exploits the underlying algebraic structure, extending existing algebraic approaches based on eigen computation to the treatment of multiple points. We illustrate the effectiveness and numerical stability of such an algorithm through several examples, including Waring and tangential decompositions.

Numerical Semigroups of Sally Type II

In this paper we study numerical semigroups of Sally type of multiplicity $e$ and embedding dimension $ν\ge e-2$. We construct the minimal resolutions for these semigroup rings when they are symmetric and compute their Betti numbers. We also construct a minimal resolution for another special class of such semigroups of type $ν-1$. Finally, we propose some conjectures for the Betti numbers of families of non-symmetric Sally type semigroups in the above cases in relation to those of the corresponding Gorenstein cases of Sally type semigroups.

Matrix equivalence to Smith normal form: new theoretical results for multivariate polynomial matrices

This paper investigates the Smith normal form equivalence problem for multivariate polynomial matrices. Using methods from matrix theory and polynomial ideal theory, we prove that Frost and Storey's 1978 conjecture holds for a broad class of matrices: such a matrix is equivalent to its Smith normal form if and only if its reduced minors of each order generate the unit ideal. Moreover, by extending the original matrix class via automorphisms of the polynomial ring, we show that our framework applies in a substantially more general setting.
