We investigate the geometry of codimension one foliations on smooth projective varieties defined over fields of positive characteristic with an eye toward applications to the structure of codimension one holomorphic foliations on projective manifolds.
Let $\mathfrak{p}$ be a prime ideal in a commutative noetherian ring R and denote by $k(\mathfrak{p})$ the residue field of the local ring $R_\mathfrak{p}$. We prove that if an R-module M satisfies $\operatorname{Ext}_R^{n}(k(\mathfrak{p}),M)=0$ for some $n\geqslant\dim R$, then $\operatorname{Ext}_R^i(k(\mathfrak{p}),M)=0$ holds for all $i \geqslant n$. This improves a result of Christensen, Iyengar and Marley by lowering the bound on n. We also improve existing results on Tor-rigidity. This progress is driven by the existence of minimal semi-flat-cotorsion replacements in the derived category as recently proved by Nakamura and Thompson.
We prove that double Schubert polynomials have the saturated Newton polytope property. This settles a conjecture by Monical, Tokcan and Yong. Our ideas are motivated by the theory of multidegrees. We introduce a notion of standardization of ideals that enables us to study nonstandard multigradings. This allows us to show that the support of the multidegree polynomial of each Cohen–Macaulay prime ideal in a nonstandard multigrading, and in particular, that of each Schubert determinantal ideal is a discrete polymatroid.
In this paper, we are concerned with certain invariants of modules, called reducing invariants, which have been recently introduced and studied by Araya–Celikbas and Araya–Takahashi. We raise the question whether the residue field of each commutative Noetherian local ring has finite reducing projective dimension and obtain an affirmative answer for the question for a large class of local rings. Furthermore, we construct new examples of modules of infinite projective dimension that have finite reducing projective dimension and study several fundamental properties of reducing dimensions, especially properties under local homomorphisms of local rings.
Let $({\cal{A}},{\cal{E}})$ be an exact category. We establish basic results that allow one to identify sub(bi)functors of ${\operatorname{Ext}}_{\cal{E}}(-,-)$ using additivity of numerical functions and restriction to subcategories. We also study a small number of these new functors over commutative local rings in detail and find a range of applications from detecting regularity to understanding Ulrich modules.
In this article, we prove that a complete Noetherian local domain of mixed characteristic $p>0$ with perfect residue field has an integral extension that is an integrally closed, almost Cohen–Macaulay domain such that the Frobenius map is surjective modulo p. This result is seen as a mixed characteristic analog of the fact that the perfect closure of a complete local domain in positive characteristic is almost Cohen–Macaulay. To this aim, we carry out a detailed study of decompletion of perfectoid rings and establish the Witt-perfect (decompleted) version of André’s perfectoid Abhyankar’s lemma and Riemann’s extension theorem.
The existence of Ulrich modules for (complete) local domains has been a difficult and elusive open question. For over thirty years, it was unknown whether complete local domains always have Ulrich modules. In this paper, we answer the question of existence for both Ulrich modules and weakly lim Ulrich sequences – a weaker notion recently introduced by Ma – in the negative. We construct many local domains in all dimensions $d \geq 2$ that do not have any Ulrich modules. Moreover, we show that when $d = 2$, these local domains do not have weakly lim Ulrich sequences.
Consider a reductive linear algebraic group G acting linearly on a polynomial ring S over an infinite field; key examples are the general linear group, the symplectic group, the orthogonal group, and the special linear group, with the classical representations as in Weyl’s book: For the general linear group, consider a direct sum of copies of the standard representation and copies of the dual; in the other cases, take copies of the standard representation. The invariant rings in the respective cases are determinantal rings, rings defined by Pfaffians of alternating matrices, symmetric determinantal rings and the Plücker coordinate rings of Grassmannians; these are the classical invariant rings of the title, with $S^G\subseteq S$ being the natural embedding.
Over a field of characteristic zero, a reductive group is linearly reductive, and it follows that the invariant ring $S^G$ is a pure subring of S, equivalently, $S^G$ is a direct summand of S as an $S^G$-module. Over fields of positive characteristic, reductive groups are typically no longer linearly reductive. We determine, in the positive characteristic case, precisely when the inclusion $S^G\subseteq S$ is pure. It turns out that if $S^G\subseteq S$ is pure, then either the invariant ring $S^G$ is regular or the group G is linearly reductive.
For a finitely dominated Poincaré duality space $M$, we show how the first author's total obstruction $\mu _M$ to the existence of a Poincaré embedding of the diagonal map $M \to M \times M$ in [17] relates to the Reidemeister trace of the identity map of $M$. We then apply this relationship to show that $\mu _M$ vanishes when suitable conditions on the fundamental group of $M$ are satisfied.
This paper is devoted to the study of generalized tilting theory of functor categories in different levels. First, we extend Miyashita’s proof (Math Z 193:113–146,1986) of the generalized Brenner–Butler theorem to arbitrary functor categories $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits\!(\mathcal{C})$ with $\mathcal{C}$ an annuli variety. Second, a hereditary and complete cotorsion pair generated by a generalized tilting subcategory $\mathcal{T}$ of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ is constructed. Some applications of these two results include the equivalence of Grothendieck groups $K_0(\mathcal{C})$ and $K_0(\mathcal{T})$, the existences of a new abelian model structure on the category of complexes $\mathop{\textrm{C}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits\!(\mathcal{C}))$, and a t-structure on the derived category $\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))$.
Let k be a field of characteristic zero and $k^{[n]}$ the polynomial algebra in n variables over k. The LND conjecture concerning the images of locally nilpotent derivations arose from the Jacobian conjecture. We give a positive answer to the LND conjecture in several cases. More precisely, we prove that the images of rank-one locally nilpotent derivations of $k^{[n]}$ acting on principal ideals are MZ-subspaces for any $n\geq 2$, and that the images of a large class of locally nilpotent derivations of $k^{[3]}$ (including all rank-two and homogeneous rank-three locally nilpotent derivations) acting on principal ideals are MZ-subspaces.
We produce a large class of generalized cluster structures on the Drinfeld double of $\operatorname {\mathrm {GL}}_n$ that are compatible with Poisson brackets given by Belavin–Drinfeld classification. The resulting construction is compatible with the previous results on cluster structures on $\operatorname {\mathrm {GL}}_n$.
We answer an open problem posed by Iarrobino, Hilbert scheme of points: Overview of last ten years. Proceedings of Symposia in Pure Mathematics, 46 (American Mathematical Society, Providence, RI, 1987), 297–320: Is there a component of the punctual Hilbert scheme [Grothendieck, Techniques de construction et théorèmes d'existence en géométrie algébrique. IV. Les schémas de Hilbert', in Séminaire Bourbaki, 6 (Societe Mathematique de France, Paris, 1995), 221, 249–276] $\operatorname {\mathrm {Hilb}}^d({\mathscr {O}}_{\mathbb {A}^n,p})$ with dimension less than $(n-1)(d-1)$? For each $n\geq 4$, we construct an infinite class of elementary components in $\operatorname {\mathrm {Hilb}}^d(\mathbb {A}^n)$ producing such examples. Our techniques also allow us to construct an explicit example of a local Artinian ring [Iarrobino and Kanev, Power sums, Gorenstein algebras, and determinantal loci (Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1999), 221–226] of the form with trivial negative tangents, vanishing nonnegative obstruction space, and socle-dimension $2$.
We consider a Deligne–Mumford stack $X$ which is the quotient of an affine scheme $\operatorname {Spec}A$ by the action of a finite group $G$ and show that the Balmer spectrum of the tensor triangulated category of perfect complexes on $X$ is homeomorphic to the space of homogeneous prime ideals in the group cohomology ring $H^*(G,A)$.
Let k be a field of characteristic zero and let $\Omega_{A/k}$ be the universally finite differential module of a k-algebra A, which is the local ring of a closed point of an algebraic or algebroid curve over k. A notorious open problem, known as Berger’s Conjecture, predicts that A must be regular if $\Omega_{A/k}$ is torsion-free. In this paper, assuming the hypotheses of the conjecture and observing that the module ${\rm Hom}_A(\Omega_{A/k}, \Omega_{A/k})$ is then isomorphic to an ideal of A, say $\mathfrak{h}$, we show that A is regular whenever the ring $A/a\mathfrak{h}$ is Gorenstein for some parameter a (and conversely). In addition, we provide various characterizations for the regularity of A in the context of the conjecture.
A simple polytope P is called B-rigid if its combinatorial type is determined by the cohomology ring of the moment-angle manifold $\mathcal {Z}_P$ over P. We show that any tensor product decomposition of this cohomology ring is geometrically realized by a product decomposition of the moment-angle manifold up to equivariant diffeomorphism. As an application, we find that B-rigid polytopes are closed under products, generalizing some recent results in the toric topology literature. Algebraically, our proof establishes that the Koszul homology of a Gorenstein Stanley–Reisner ring admits a nontrivial tensor product decomposition if and only if the underlying simplicial complex decomposes as a join of full subcomplexes.
We note that Gabber's rigidity theorem for the algebraic K-theory of henselian pairs also holds true for hermitian K-theory with respect to arbitrary form parameters.
In a 1968 issue of the Proceedings, P. M. Cohn famously claimed that a commutative domain is atomic if and only if it satisfies the ascending chain condition on principal ideals (ACCP). Some years later, a counterexample was however provided by A. Grams, who showed that every commutative domain with the ACCP is atomic, but not vice versa. This has led to the problem of finding a sensible (ideal-theoretic) characterisation of atomicity.
The question (explicitly stated on p. 3 of A. Geroldinger and F. Halter–Koch’s 2006 monograph on factorisation) is still open. We settle it here by using the language of monoids and preorders.
We show that a sufficiently general hypersurface of degree d in $\mathbb {P}^n$ admits a toric Gröbner degeneration after linear change of coordinates if and only if $d\leq 2n-1$.
In earlier work, the author introduced a method for constructing a Frobenius categorification of a cluster algebra with frozen variables by starting from the data of an internally Calabi–Yau algebra, which becomes the endomorphism algebra of a cluster-tilting object in the resulting category. In this paper, we construct appropriate internally Calabi–Yau algebras for cluster algebras with polarized principal coefficients (which differ from those with principal coefficients by the addition of more frozen variables) and obtain Frobenius categorifications in the acyclic case. Via partial stabilization, we then define extriangulated categories, in the sense of Nakaoka and Palu, categorifying acyclic principal coefficient cluster algebras, for which Frobenius categorifications do not exist in general. Many of the intermediate results used to obtain these categorifications remain valid without the acyclicity assumption, as we will indicate, and are interesting in their own right. Most notably, we provide a Frobenius version of Van den Bergh’s result that the Ginzburg dg-algebra of a quiver with potential is bimodule $3$-Calabi–Yau.
