Maximal Cohen--Macaulay modules over hypersurface rings.
Meandering of trajectories of polynomial vector fields in the affine n-space.
We give an explicit upper bound for the number of isolated intersections between an integral curve of a polynomial vector field in Rn and an affine hyperplane.The problem turns out to be closely related to finding an explicit upper bound for the length of ascending chains of polynomial ideals spanned by consecutive derivatives.This exposition constitutes an extended abstract of a forthcoming paper: only the basic steps are outlined here, with all technical details being either completely omitted...
Minimal resolutions of lattice ideals and integer linear programming.
A combinatorial description of the minimal free resolution of a lattice ideal allows us to the connection of Integer Linear Programming and Al1gebra. The non null reduced homology spaces of some simplicial complexes are the key. The extremal rays of the associated cone reduce the number of variables.

Multivariate Sturm-Habicht sequences: real root counting on n-rectangles and triangles.
The main purpose of this note is to show how Sturm-Habicht Sequence can be generalized to the multivariate case and used to compute the number of real solutions of a polynomial system of equations with a finite number of complex solutions. Using the same techniques, some formulae counting the number of real solutions of such polynomial systems of equations inside n-dimensional rectangles or triangles in the plane are presented.
