Abstract

Recently, Ficarra and Sgroi initiated the study of v-numbers of powers of graded ideals. They proved that for a graded ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring $S$, $\mathrm{v}(I^k)$ is a linear function in $k$ for $k>>0$. Later, Ficarra conjectured that if $I$ is a monomial ideal with linear powers, then $\mathrm{v}(I^k)=α(I)k-1$ for all $k\geq 1$, where $α(I)$ denotes the initial degree of $I$. In this paper, we generalize this conjecture for graded ideals. We prove this conjecture for several classes of graded ideals: principal ideals, ideals $I$ with $\mathrm{depth}(S/I)=0$, cover ideals of graphs, $t$-path ideals, monomial ideals generated in degree $2$, edge ideals of weighted oriented graphs. We reduce the conjecture for several classes of graded ideals (including square-free monomial ideals) by showing it is enough to prove the conjecture for $k=1$ only. We define the stability index of the $\mathrm{v}$-number for graded ideals and investigate the stability index for edge ideals of graphs.

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.
