Babylonian Tower Theorems on the Punctured Spectrum.
The Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity is one of the most important invariants in studying the minimal free resolution of the defining ideals of the projective varieties. There are some bounds on the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the projective variety in terms of the other basic invariants such as dimension, codimension and degree. This paper studies a bound on the regularity conjectured by Hoa, and shows this bound and extremal examples in the case of divisors on rational normal scrolls.
The postulation of Aritméticamente Cohen-Macaulay (ACM) subschemes of the projective space PkN is well known in the case of codimension 2. There are many different ways of recording this numerical information: numerical character of Gruson/Peskine, h-vector, postulation character of Martin-Deschamps/Perrin... The first aim of this paper is to show the equivalence of these notions. The second and most important aim, is to study the postulation of codimension 3 ACM subschemes of PN. We use a result...
