We introduce the Macaulay2 package $mathtt{LinearTruncations}$ for finding and studying the truncations of a multigraded module over a standard multigraded ring that have linear resolutions.
We describe a significant update to the existing InvariantRing package for Macaulay2. In addition to expanding and improving the methods of the existing package for actions of finite groups, the updated package adds functionality for computing invariants of diagonal actions of tori and finite abelian groups as well as invariants of arbitrary linearly reductive group actions. The implementation of the package has been completely overhauled with the aim of serving as a unified resource for invariant theory computations in Macaulay2.
We present a library autgradalg.lib for the free computer algebra system Singular to compute automorphisms of integral, finitely generated $mathbb{C}$-algebras that are graded pointedly by a finitely generated abelian group. It implements the algorithms developed in Computing automorphisms of Mori dream spaces. We apply the algorithms to Mori dream spaces and investigate the automorphism groups of a series of Fano varieties.
In two dimensional regular local rings integrally closed ideals have a unique factorization property and have a Cohen-Macaulay associated graded ring. In higher dimension these properties do not hold for general integrally closed ideals and the goal of the paper is to identify a subclass of integrally closed ideals for which they do. We restrict our attention to 0-dimensional homogeneous ideals in polynomial rings $R$ of arbitrary dimension and identify a class of integrally closed ideals, the Goto-class $G^*$, that is closed under product and that has a suitable unique factorization property. Ideals in $G^*$ have a Cohen-Macaulay associated graded ring if either they are monomial or $dim Rleq 3$. Our approach is based on the study of the relationship between the notions of integrally closed, contracted, full and componentwise linear ideals.
This paper is devoted to the study of multigraded algebras and multigraded linear series. For an $mathbb{N}^s$-graded algebra $A$, we define and study its volume function $F_A:mathbb{N}_+^sto mathbb{R}$, which computes the asymptotics of the Hilbert function of $A$. We relate the volume function $F_A$ to the volume of the fibers of the global Newton-Okounkov body $Delta(A)$ of $A$. Unlike the classical case of standard multigraded algebras, the volume function $F_A$ is not a polynomial in general. However, in the case when the algebra $A$ has a decomposable grading, we show that the volume function $F_A$ is a polynomial with non-negative coefficients. We then define mixed multiplicities in this case and provide a full characterization for their positivity. Furthermore, we apply our results on multigraded algebras to multigraded linear series. Our work recovers and unifies recent developments on mixed multiplicities. In particular, we recover results on the existence of mixed multiplicities for (not necessarily Noetherian) graded families of ideals and on the positivity of the multidegrees of multiprojective varieties.
Let K be a field of characteristic zero. We prove that images of a linear K-derivation and a linear K-E-derivation of the ring K[x 1 ,x 2 ,x 3 ] of polynomial in three variables over K are Mathieu-Zhao subspaces, which affirms the LFED conjecture for linear K-derivations and linear K-E-derivations of K[x 1 ,x 2 ,x 3 ].
