Cohen-Macaulay pairs

Abstract

The main purpose of this note is to extend and establish a new approach to the concept of (relative) Cohen-Macaulayness, by investigating the cohomological dimension as well as the depth of a pair of modules over a commutative Noetherian ring. The notion also largely extends the cohomologically complete intersection property of Hellus and Schenzel. As crucial tools, we use Herzog's theory of generalized local cohomology along with spectral sequence techniques. We also provide byproducts concerning two classical problems in homological commutative algebra.

Unified Common-Root and Interpolation Bounds Based on Leading Monomial Data

For general fields the footprint bound from Gröbner basis theory estimates the number of common affine roots of any set of multivariate polynomials using information on their leading monomials. In this paper we develop an interpolation bound with a similar flavor extending a previously known result for only a single polynomial to any prescribed number of polynomials. Surprisingly, our interpolation theorem and the footprint bound can be shown to be two sides of the same coin, solving similar problems, but for dual spaces. As discussed the footprint bound compares well with the improved Alon-Füredi bound and for finite fields the presented interpolation theorem is sharp. Our work can be viewed as a comment to a question raised by Tao in [Tao, 2014]

Poincaré Duality and Quadratic Refinements over Laurent Rings

We develop a Poincaré duality theory for defects of nondegenerate sesquilinear pairings over Laurent polynomial rings. A key ingredient is a novel flat resolution of the character module, constructed from a triangulation of the sphere at infinity associated with a fan. The cup product on this resolution turns Poincaré duality on the sphere into canonical pairings between the resulting defect modules. In middle degrees, we construct distinguished quadratic refinements using equivariant cohomology of the sphere with the antipodal action. The effective replacement of the sphere with a projective space provides a geometric substitute for division by two. Applied to translation-invariant Pauli stabilizer codes, our results establish the nondegeneracy of higher-dimensional braiding pairings. They extend the two-dimensional T-junction formula for topological spin to higher dimensions, while giving it a geometric interpretation.
