Abstract

A multiplicative subset $S$ of a ring $R$ is called \textit{strongly multiplicative} if $(\bigcap_{i\inΔ}s_iR)\cap S \neq \emptyset$ for each family $(s_i)_{i\inΔ}$ of elements in $S$. In this paper, we investigate how these sets help stabilize localization and ideal operations. We show that localization and arbitrary intersections commute, meaning $S^{-1}(\bigcap I_α) = \bigcap S^{-1}I_α$ for any family of ideals, if and only if $S$ is strongly multiplicative. Furthermore, we characterize some important classes of rings, such as total quotient rings and strongly zero-dimensional rings, in terms of strongly multiplicative sets. We also answer an open question by Hamed and Malek about whether this condition is needed for the existence of $S$-minimal primes. Furthermore, we demonstrate that if $S$ is a strongly multiplicative set and $S \not\subseteq U(R)$, then $S$-minimal primes are not classical prime ideals, and we provide an algorithmic approach to constructing such ideals. Finally, we prove a Strong Krull's Separation Lemma, which guarantees a maximal ideal disjoint from $S$. As an application of Strong Krull's Separation Lemma, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between the maximal ideals of $S^{-1}R$ and the maximal ideals of $R$ disjoint from a strongly multiplicative set $S$ of $R$.

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.
