We extend some results on almost Gorenstein affine monomial curves to the nearly Gorenstein case. In particular, we prove that the Cohen-Macaulay type of a nearly Gorenstein monomial curve in $\mathbb{A}^4$ is at most $3$, answering a question of Stamate in this particular case. Moreover, we prove that, if $\mathcal C$ is a nearly Gorenstein affine monomial curve which is not Gorenstein and $n_1, \dots, n_ν$ are the minimal generators of the associated numerical semigroup, the elements of $\{n_1, \dots, \widehat{n_i}, \dots, n_ν\}$ are relatively coprime for every $i$.
We prove that the Cohen-Macaulay type of an almost Gorenstein monomial curve $\mathcal C \subseteq \mathbb{A}^4$ is at most $3$, and make some considerations on the general case.
We characterize all Gorenstein rings generated by strongly stable sets of monomials of degree two. We compute their Hilbert series in several cases, which also provides an answer to a question by Migliore and Nagel.
We study the minimal free resolution of the tangent cone of Gorenstein monomial curves in affine 4-space. We give the explicit minimal free resolution of the tangent cone of non-complete intersection Gorenstein monomial curve whose tangent cone has five minimal generators and show that the possible Betti sequences are $(1,5,6,2)$ and $(1,5,5,1)$. Also, we compute the Hilbert function of the tangent cone of these families as a result.
We study the weak Lefschetz property of a class of graded Artinian Gorenstein algebras of codimension three associated in a natural way to the Apéry set of a numerical semigroup generated by four natural numbers. We show that these algebras have the weak Lefschetz property whenever the initial degree of their defining ideal is small.
We study Jordan types of linear forms for graded Artinian Gorenstein algebras having arbitrary codimension. We introduce rank matrices of linear forms for such algebras that represent the ranks of multiplication maps in various degrees. We show that there is a 1-1 correspondence between rank matrices and Jordan degree types. For Artinian Gorenstein algebras with codimension three we classify all rank matrices that occur for linear forms with vanishing third power. As a consequence, we show for such algebras that the possible Jordan types with parts of length at most four are uniquely determine…
We analyze the structure of spinor coordinates on resolutions of Gorenstein ideals of codimension four. As an application we produce a family of such ideals with seven generators which are not specializations of Kustin-Miller model.
The aim of the article is to study the Betti numbers of the tangent cone of Gorenstein monomial curves in affine 4-space. If $C_S$ is a non-complete intersection Gorenstein monomial curve whose tangent cone is Cohen-Macaulay, we show that the possible Betti sequences are (1,5,5,1), (1,5,6,2) and (1,6,8,3).
The famous structure theorem of Buchsbaum and Eisenbud gives a complete characterization of Gorenstein ideals of codimension 3 and their minimal free resolutions. We generalize the ideas of Buchsbaum and Eisenbud from Gorenstein ideals to Gorenstein algebras and present a description of Gorenstein algebras of any odd codimension. As an application we study the canonical ring of a numerical Godeaux surface.
Let $C$ be a Gorenstein non complete intersection monomial curve in the 4-dimensional affine space. In this paper we study the minimal number of generators of the tangent cone of $C$. Special attention will be paid to the case where $C$ has Cohen-Macaulay tangent cone at the origin.
In this paper, we consider monomial curves in ${\mathbb A}_k^3$ parameterized by $t \rightarrow (t^{2q +1}, t^{2q +1 + m}, t^{2q +1 +2 m})$ where $gcd( 2q+1,m)=1$. The symbolic blowup algebras of these monomial curves is Gorenstein (\cite{goto-nis-shim}, \cite{goto-nis-shim-2}). We give a simple proof for the the Gorenstein property for the symbolic blowup algebras of these curves.
We introduce a general technique for decomposing monomial algebras which we use to study the Lefschetz properties. We apply our technique to various classes of algebras, including monomial almost complete intersections and Gorenstein algebras. In particular, we prove that Gorenstein codimension three algebras arising from numerical semigroups have the strong Lefschetz property. We also study the reverse of the splitting operation -- a gluing operation -- which gives a way to construct monomial algebras with the Lefschetz properties.
We study Gorenstein ideals of codimension $4$ derived from generic doublings of almost complete intersection perfect ideals of codimension $3$. We also investigate spinor coordinates of such Gorenstein ideals with $8$ and $9$ generators. For an ideal $J$ of commutative ring $R$, the $R/J$ module $J/J^2$ is called conormal module and $R/J$-dual of $J/J^2$ is called normal module. We study properties of conormal and normal modules of almost complete intersection perfect ideals of codimension $3$.
We focus on the structure of a homogeneous Gorenstein ideal $I$ of codimension three in a standard polynomial ring $R=\kk[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ over a field $\kk$, assuming that $I$ is generated in a fixed degree $d$. For such an ideal $I$ this degree comes along with the minimal number of generators of $I$ and the degree of the entries of the associated skew-symmetric matrix in a simple formula. We give an elementary characteristic-free argument to the effect that, for any such data linked by this formula, there exists a Gorenstein ideal $I$ of codimension three filling them. We conjecture that, f…
In this article, applying the quasi-Gorenstein analogous of the Ulrich's deformation of certain Gorenstein rings we show that some homological conjectures, including the Monomial Conjecture, Big Cohen-Macaulay Algebra Conjecture as well as the Small Cohen-Macaulay Conjecture reduce to the excellent unique factorization domains. Some other reductions of the Monomial Conjecture are also proved. We, moreover, show that certain almost complete intersections adhere the Monomial Conjecture.
Codimension two Artinian algebras $A$ have the strong and weak Lefschetz properties provided the characteristic is zero or greater than the socle degree. It is open to what extent such results might extend to codimension three AG algebras - the most promising results so far have concerned the weak Lefschetz property for such algebras. We here show that every standard-graded codimension three Artinian Gorenstein algebra $A$ having low maximum value of the Hilbert function - at most six - has the strong Lefschetz property, provided that the characteristic is zero. When the characteristic is grea…
We characterize when the monomial maximal ideal of a simplicial affine semigroup ring has a monomial minimal reduction. When this is the case, we study the Cohen-Macaulay and Gorenstein properties of the associated graded ring and provide several bounds for the reduction number with respect to the monomial minimal reduction.
We study the Rees algebra of a perfect Gorenstein ideal of codimension 3 in a hypersurface ring. We provide a minimal generating set of the defining ideal of these rings by introducing a modified Jacobian dual and applying a recursive algorithm. Once the defining equations are known, we explore properties of these Rees algebras such as Cohen-Macaulayness and Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity.
A projectively normal Calabi-Yau threefold $X \subseteq \mathbb{P}^n$ has an ideal $I_X$ which is arithmetically Gorenstein, of Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity four. Such ideals have been intensively studied when $I_X$ is a complete intersection, as well as in the case where $X$ is codimension three. In the latter case, the Buchsbaum-Eisenbud theorem shows that $I_X$ is given by the Pfaffians of a skew-symmetric matrix. A number of recent papers study the situation when $I_X$ has codimension four. We prove there are 16 possible betti tables for an arithmetically Gorenstein ideal $I$ with $\math…
It has been conjectured that {\it all} graded Artinian Gorenstein algebras of codimension three have the weak Lefschetz property over a field of characteristic zero. In this paper, we study the weak Lefschetz property of associated graded algebras $A$ of the Apéry set of $M$-pure symmetric numerical semigroups generated by four natural numbers. In 2010, Bryant proved that these algebras are graded Artinian Gorenstein algebras of codimension three. In a recent article, Guerrieri showed that if $A$ is not a complete intersection, then $A$ is of form $A=R/I$ with $R=K[x,y,z]$ and \begin{align*} I…
The Jordan type of an Artinian algebra is the Jordan block partition associated to multiplication by a generic element of the maximal ideal. We study the Jordan type for Artinian Gorenstein (AG) local algebras A, and the interaction of Jordan type with the symmetric decomposition of the Hilbert function H(A). We give examples of Gorenstein sequences H for which the family Gor(H) of AG algebras having Hilbert function H has several irreducible components, each corresponding to a symmetric decomposition of H. The component structure results from the intersection of two opposing filtrations of th…
This article is built upon three main ideas. First, for a class of monomial ideals, it is proven that the multiplicity of an ideal equals the number of realizations of its codimension (an intuitive concept that we define later). Next, for an arbitrary graph G, we construct a monomial ideal M_G, and show that the chromatic number of G is equal to the codimension of M_G. Finally, for a class of graphs, we give a formula that computes the chromatic polynomial of G, evaluated at the chromatic number of G, in terms of the codimension and multiplicity of M_G. In particular, the formula applies to al…
