We give an overview of recent results concerning kernels of triangular derivations of polynomial rings. In particular, we examine the question of finite generation in dimensions 4, 5, 6, and 7.
Let A be a noetherian local commutative ring and let M be a suitable complex of A-modules. It is proved that M is a dualizing complex for A if and only if the trivial extension A ⋉ M is a Gorenstein differential graded algebra. As a corollary, A has a dualizing complex if and only if it is a quotient of a Gorenstein local differential graded algebra.
We deal with a reduction of power series convergent in a polydisc with respect to a Gröbner basis of a polynomial ideal. The results are applied to proving that a Nash function whose graph is algebraic in a "large enough" polydisc, must be a polynomial. Moreover, we give an effective method for finding this polydisc.
We study -actions of the form , where is the dual (to ) -variety. These actions are called the doubled ones. A geometric interpretation of the complexity of the action is given. It is shown that the doubled actions have a number of nice properties, if is spherical or of complexity one.
A submodule of a -primary module of bounded order is known to be regular if and have simultaneous bases. In this paper we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for regularity of a submodule.
