Let $(R,mathfrak m)$ be an analytically unramified local ring of positive prime characteristic $p.$ For an ideal $I$, let $I^*$ denote its tight closure. We introduce the tight Hilbert function $H^*_I(n)=ell(R/(I^n)^*)$ and the corresponding tight Hilbert polynomial $P_I^*(n)$ where $I$ is an $mathfrak m$-primary ideal. It is proved that $F$-rationality can be detected by the vanishing of the first coefficient of $P_I^*(n).$ We find the tight Hilbert polynomial of certain parameter ideals in hypersurface rings and Stanley-Reisner rings of simplicial complexes.
In this paper we find the tight closure of powers of parameter ideals of certain diagonal hypersurface rings. In many cases the associated graded ring with respect to tight closure filtration turns out to be Cohen-Macaulay. This helps us find the tight Hilbert polynomial in these diagonal hypersurfaces. We determine the tight Hilbert polynomial in the following cases: (1) F-pure diagonal hypersurfaces where number of variables is equal to the degree of defining equation, (2) diagonal hypersurface rings where characteristic of the ring is one less than the degree of defining equation and (3) quartic diagonal hypersurface in four variables.
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.
We compute the Betti numbers for all the powers of initial and final lexsegment edge ideals. For the powers of the edge ideal of an anti-$d-$path, we prove that they have linear quotients and we characterize the normally torsion-free ideals. We determine a class of non-squarefree ideals, arising from some particular graphs, which are normally torsion-free.
The Qth-power algorithm for computing structured global presentations of integral closures of affine domains over finite fields is modified to compute structured presentations of integral closures of ideals in affine domains over finite fields relative to a local monomial ordering. A non-homogeneous version of the standard (homogeneous) Rees algebra is introduced as well.
Let $A = K[X_1,ldots, X_d]$ and let $I$, $J$ be monomial ideals in $A$. Let $I_n(J) = (I^n colon J^infty)$ be the $n^{th}$ symbolic power of $I$ wrt $J$. It is easy to see that the function $f^I_J(n) = e_0(I_n(J)/I^n)$ is of quasi-polynomial type, say of period $g$ and degree $c$. For $n gg 0$ say [ f^I_J(n) = a_c(n)n^c + a_{c-1}(n)n^{c-1} + text{lower terms}, ] where for $i = 0, ldots, c$, $a_i colon mathbb{N} rt mathbb{Z}$ are periodic functions of period $g$ and $a_c eq 0$. In an earlier paper we (together with Herzog and Verma) proved that $dim I_n(J)/I^n$ is constant for $n gg 0$ and $a_c(-)$ is a constant. In this paper we prove that if $I$ is generated by some elements of the same degree and height $I geq 2$ then $a_{c-1}(-)$ is also a constant.
