Abstract

We study meromorphic jacobian pairs, i.e., pairs of polynomials in one variable, with coefficients meromorphic series in a second variable, whose jacobian relative to the two variables depends only on the second variable. We pose two meromorphic jacobian conjectures about such pairs, one of which is in terms of an invariant of the pair which we call the beta invariant. These conjectures are shown to imply the bivariate algebraic jacobian conjecture which predicts that two bivariate polynomials generate the polynomial ring if their jacobian is a nonzero constant. As another technique for studying the jacobian conjecture we revisit the Newton polygon.

Buchsbaumness, Macaulayfication and Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of monomial curves

Projective monomial curves are associated with rings generated by monomials of equal degree in two variables. In this paper, we give an infinite class of non-smooth, non Cohen-Macaulay $k$-Buchsbaum projective monomial curves for any $k\geq 1$ and find the monomial generators for the respective Macaulayfication. More generally, we demonstrate a method to find the Macaulayfication of a $k$-Buchsbaum monomial curve for any $k\geq 1$. We also discuss Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of certain curves in terms of $k$-Buchsbaumness.

Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of toric varieties with at most one singular point

We establish upper bounds for the Castelnuovo--Mumford regularity of the coordinate ring of a simplicial projective toric variety with at most one singular point. In the smooth case, our results recover the bound of Herzog and Hibi [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 131 (2003), 2641--2647], and therefore the Eisenbud--Goto bound. Furthermore, when the variety has exactly one singular point and dimension at least $3$, we prove that its regularity also satisfies the Eisenbud--Goto bound. The proof combines combinatorial and homological methods: we study the asymptotic behavior of the sumsets associated to the toric variety and relate it to Castelnuovo--Mumford regularity via a Hochster-like formula.

Generalized divisor topology of commutative rings

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with nonzero identity and let $R^\#$ denote the set of its nonzero nonunits. We extend the divisor topology $D(R)$, previously studied for integral domains, to arbitrary commutative rings and introduce the generalized divisor topology $GD(R)$ on $EC(R^\#)$. Its basic open sets are \[ B_a=\{[b]\in EC(R^\#): b\mid a^n \text{ for some }n\geq 1\}. \] The relation \[ [b]\in B_a \quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad \sqrt{aR}\subseteq\sqrt{bR} \] shows that $GD(R)$ records radical divisibility among principal ideals. We prove that $GD(R)$ is an Alexandrov space and identify its Kolmogorov quotient with the poset of radicals of nonzero proper principal ideals. This description yields characterizations of the $T_0$ and discrete properties and of the equality $GD(R)=D(R)$. We also determine the isolated points of $GD(R)$. Further, we characterize nestedness, compactness, the Lindelöf property, and Noetherianity in terms of the order structure of radicals of principal ideals. In particular, for an integral domain $R$, $GD(R)$ is compact if and only if $R$ is a $G$-domain, while for a UFD the Lindelöf and Noetherian properties are determined by the number of nonassociate prime elements. Finally, we study the interaction of $GD(R)$ with multiplication and describe the behavior of its Kolmogorov quotient under surjective homomorphisms with nil kernel.
