Let $K$ be a field and $V$ and $W$ be $K$-vector spaces of dimension $m$ and $n$. Let $phi$ be the canonical map from $Hom(V,W)$ to $Hom(wedge^t V,wedge^t W)$. We investigate the Zariski closure $X_t$ of the image $Y_t$ of $phi$. In the case $t=min(m,n)$, $Y_t=X_t$ is the cone over a Grassmannian, but $X_t$ is larger than $Y_t$ for $1<t<min(m,n)$. We analyze the $G=GL(V)timesGL(W)$-orbits in $X_t$ via the corresponding $G$-stable prime ideals. It turns out that they are classified by two numerical invariants, one of which is the rank and the other a related invariant that we call small rank. Surprisingly, the orbits in $X_tsetminus Y_t$ arise from the images $Y_u$ for $u<t$ and simple algebraic operations. In the last section we determine the singular locus of $X_t$. Apart from well-understood exceptional cases, it is formed by the elements of rank $le 1$ in $Y_t$.
Given an ideal $I=(f_1,ldots,f_r)$ in $mathbb C[x_1,ldots,x_n]$ generated by forms of degree $d$, and an integer $k>1$, how large can the ideal $I^k$ be, i.e., how small can the Hilbert function of $mathbb C[x_1,ldots,x_n]/I^k$ be? If $rle n$ the smallest Hilbert function is achieved by any complete intersection, but for $r>n$, the question is in general very hard to answer. We study the problem for $r=n+1$, where the result is known for $k=1$. We also study a closely related problem, the Weak Lefschetz property, for $S/I^k$, where $I$ is the ideal generated by the $d$th powers of the variables.
We call shifted power a polynomial of the form $(x-a)^e$. The main goal of this paper is to obtain broadly applicable criteria ensuring that the elements of a finite family $F$ of shifted powers are linearly independent or, failing that, to give a lower bound on the dimension of the space of polynomials spanned by $F$. In particular, we give simple criteria ensuring that the dimension of the span of $F$ is at least $c.|F|$ for some absolute constant $c<1$. We also propose conjectures implying the linear independence of the elements of $F$. These conjectures are known to be true for the field of real numbers, but not for the field of complex numbers.
In this article, we study the regularity of integral closure of powers of edge ideals. We obtain a lower bound for the regularity of integral closure of powers of edge ideals in terms of induced matching number of graphs. We prove that the regularity of integral closure of powers of edge ideals of graphs with at most two odd cycles is the same as the regularity of their powers.
The goal of this paper is to present examples of families of homogeneous ideals in the polynomial ring over a field that satisfy the following condition: every product of ideals of the family has a linear free resolution. As we will see, this condition is strongly correlated to good primary decompositions of the products and good homological and arithmetical properties of the associated multi-Rees algebras. The following families will be discussed in detail: polymatroidal ideals, ideals generated by linear forms and Borel fixed ideals of maximal minors. The main tools are Grobner bases and Sagbi deformation.
We introduce a new family of algebraic varieties, $L_{d,n}$, which we call the unsquared measurement varieties. This family is parameterized by a number of points $n$ and a dimension $d$. These varieties arise naturally from problems in rigidity theory and distance geometry. In those applications, it can be useful to understand the group of linear automorphisms of $L_{d,n}$. Notably, a result of Regge implies that $L_{2,4}$ has an unexpected linear automorphism. In this paper, we give a complete characterization of the linear automorphisms of $L_{d,n}$ for all $n$ and $d$. We show, that apart from $L_{2,4}$ the unsquared measurement varieties have no unexpected automorphisms. Moreover, for $L_{2,4}$ we characterize the full automorphism group.
