Abstract

Let R be a commutative ring and I an ideal in R which is locally generated by a regular sequence of length d. Then, each projective R/I-module V has an R-projective resolution P. of length d. In this paper, we compute the homology of the n-th Koszul complex associated with the homomorphism P_1 --> P_0 for all n, if d = 1. This computation yields a new proof of the classical Adams-Riemann-Roch formula for regular closed immersions which does not use the deformation to the normal cone any longer. Furthermore, if d = 2, we compute the homology of the complex N Sym^2 K(P.) where K and N denote the functors occurring in the Dold-Kan correspondence.

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.
