We prove a recent conjecture of S. Lvovski concerning the periodicity behaviour of top Betti numbers of general finite subsets with large cardinality of an irreducible curve C ⊂ ℙⁿ.

Here we show the existence of strong restrictions for the Hilbert function of zerodimensional curvilinear subschemes of P n with one point as support and with high regularity index.

We study, in certain cases, the notions of finiteness and stability of the set of associated primes and vanishing of the homogeneous pieces of graded generalized local cohomology modules.

Let $R$ be a local ring and $C$ a semidualizing module of $R$. We investigate the behavior of certain classes of generalized Cohen-Macaulay $R$-modules under the Foxby equivalence between the Auslander and Bass classes with respect to $C$. In particular, we show that generalized Cohen-Macaulay $R$-modules are invariant under this equivalence and if $M$ is a finitely generated $R$-module in the Auslander class with respect to $C$ such that $C{\otimes }_{R}M$ is surjective Buchsbaum, then $M$ is also surjective Buchsbaum.

Let Δ denote the discriminant of the generic binary d-ic. We show that for d ≥ 3, the Jacobian ideal of Δ is perfect of height 2. Moreover we describe its SL2-equivariant minimal resolution and the associated differential equations satisfied by Δ. A similar result is proved for the resultant of two forms of orders d, e whenever d ≥ e-1. If Φn denotes the locus of binary forms with total root multiplicity ≥ d-n, then we show that the ideal of Φn is also perfect, and we construct a covariant which...

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $I$ an ideal of $R$ and $M$ an $R$-module. We wish to investigate the relation between vanishing, finiteness, Artinianness, minimaxness and $𝒞$-minimaxness of local cohomology modules. We show that if $M$ is a minimax $R$-module, then the local-global principle is valid for minimaxness of local cohomology modules. This implies that if $n$ is a nonnegative integer such that ${\left(H_I^i\left(M\right)\right)}_{𝔪}$ is a minimax $R_{𝔪}$-module for all $𝔪\in \mathrm{Max}\left(R\right)$ and for all $i<n$, then the set ${\mathrm{Ass}}_R\left(H_I^n\left(M\right)\right)$ is finite. Also, if $H_I^i\left(M\right)$ is minimax for...

It is shown that for any Artinian modules $M$, $dim{M}^{\vee }$ is the greatest integer $i$ such that ${\text{H}}_{𝔪}^i\left(M^{\vee }\right)\ne 0$.

When $S$ is a polynomial ring or more generally a standard graded algebra over a field $K$, with homogeneous maximal ideal $𝔪$, it is known that for an ideal $I$ of $S$, the regularity of powers of $I$ becomes eventually a linear function, i.e., $\mathrm{reg}\left(I^m\right)=dm+e$ for $m\gg 0$ and some integers $d$, $e$. This motivates writing $\mathrm{reg}\left(I^m\right)=dm+e_m$ for every $m\ge 0$. The sequence $e_m$, called the defect sequence of the ideal $I$, is the subject of much research and its nature is still widely unexplored. We know that $e_m$ is eventually constant. In this article, after...

Let $K$ be a field and $S=K[x_1,...,x_m,y_1,...,y_n]$ be the standard bigraded polynomial ring over $K$. In this paper, we explicitly describe the structure of finitely generated bigraded “sequentially Cohen-Macaulay” $S$-modules with respect to $Q=(y_1,...,y_n)$. Next, we give a characterization of sequentially Cohen-Macaulay modules with respect to $Q$ in terms of local cohomology modules. Cohen-Macaulay modules that are sequentially Cohen-Macaulay with respect to $Q$ are considered.
