DESCRIPTION:Title: Ref
lexive modules over curve singularities\nby Hai Long Dao (The Universi
ty of Kansas) as part of IIT Bombay Virtual Commutative Algebra Seminar\n\
n\nAbstract\nA finitely generated module $M$ over a commutative ring $R$ i
s called reflexive if the natural map from $M$ to $M^{**} = Hom(Hom(M\,R)\
, R)$ is an isomorphism. In understanding reflexive modules\, the case of
dimension one is crucial. If $R$ is Gorenstein\, then any maximal Cohen-Ma
caulay module is reflexive\, but in general it is quite hard to understand
reflexive modules even over well-studied one-dimensional singularities. I
n this work\, joint with Sarasij Maitra and Prashanth Sridhar\, we will ad
dress this problem and give some partial answers.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: The
core of ideals\nby Claudia Polini (University of Notre Dame) as part
of IIT Bombay Virtual Commutative Algebra Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nLet I be
an ideal in a Noetherian commutative ring. Among all the closures\nof I\,
the integral closure plays a central role. A reduction of I\nis a sub idea
l with the same integral closure.\nWe can think of reductions as simplific
ations of the given ideal\,\nwhich carry most of the information about I i
tself but\, in general\,\nwith fewer generators. Minimal reductions\, redu
ctions\nminimal with respect to inclusion\, are loosely speaking the\ncoun
terpart of the integral closure. However\,\nunlike the integral closure\,
minimal reductions are not unique.\nFor this reason\, we consider their i
ntersection\, called the core of\nI. The core is related to adjoint and\n
multiplier ideals. Motivation for studying\nthis object comes from the Bri
ancon-Skoda theorem. Furthermore\,\na better understanding of the core cou
ld lead\nto solving Kawamata's conjecture on the non-vanishing of\nsection
s of a certain line bundle. In this talk\, I will discuss the\nimportance
of the core\, its ubiquity in algebra and geometry\,\nand some effective f
ormulas for its computation.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: The
core of monomial ideals\nby Claudia Polini (University of Notre Dame)
as part of IIT Bombay Virtual Commutative Algebra Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\n
Let $I$ be a monomial ideal. Even though there may not exist any\nproper r
eduction of $I$ which is monomial (or even homogeneous)\, the\nintersectio
n of all reductions\, the core\, is again a monomial ideal.\nThe integral
closure and the adjoint of a monomial ideal are again\nmonomial ideals and
can be described in terms of the Newton\npolyhedron of $I$. Such a descri
ption cannot exist for the core\,\nsince the Newton polyhedron only recove
rs the integral closure of\nthe ideal\, whereas the core may change when p
assing from $I$ to\nits integral closure. When attempting to derive any ki
nd of combinatorial\ndescription for the core of a monomial ideal from the
known colon\nformulas\, one faces the problem that the colon formula invo
lves\nnon-monomial ideals\, unless $I$ has a reduction $J$ generated by a\
nmonomial regular sequence. Instead\, in joint work with Ulrich and\nVitul
li we exploit the existence of such non-monomial reductions to\ndevise an
interpretation of the core in terms of monomial\noperations. This algorit
hm provides a new interpretation of the\ncore as the largest monomial idea
l contained in a general locally\nminimal reduction of $I$. In recent join
t work with Fouli Montano\, \nand Ulrich we extend this formula to a large
class of monomial ideals \nand we study the core of lex-segment monomial
ideals generated in one-degree.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Mu
ltiplicity sequence and integral dependence\nby N. V. Trung (Hanoi Ins
titute of Mathematics) as part of IIT Bombay Virtual Commutative Algebra S
eminar\n\n\nAbstract\nThe first numerical criterion for integral dependenc
e was proved by Rees in 1961 which states that two m-primary ideals $I \\s
ubset J$ in an equidimensional and universally catenary local ring $(R\, m
)$ have the same integral closure if and only if they have the same Hilber
t-Samuel multiplicity. This result plays an important role in Teissier's w
ork on the equisingularity of families of hypersurfaces with isolated sing
ularities. For hypersurfaces with non-isolated singularities\, one needs
a similar numerical criterion for integral dependence of non-$m$-primary i
deals. Since the Hilbert-Samuel multiplicity is no longer defined for non-
$m$-primary ideals\, one has to use other notions of multiplicities that c
an be used to check for integral dependence. A possibility is the multipli
city sequence which was introduced by Achilles and Manaresi in 1997 and ha
s its origin in the intersection numbers of the Stuckrad-Vogel algorithm.
It was conjectured that two arbitrary ideals $I \\subset J$ in an equidime
nsional and universally catenary local ring have the same integral closure
if and only if they have the same multiplicity sequence. This talk will p
resent a recent solution of this conjecture by Polini\, Trung\, Ulrich and
Validashti.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: On
the triviality of the affine threefold $x^my = F(x\, z\, t)$ - Part 2
\nby Neena Gupta (Indian Statistical Institute\, Kolkata) as part of IIT B
ombay Virtual Commutative Algebra Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nIn this talk we w
ill discuss a theory for affine threefolds of the form $x^my = F(x\, z\, t
)$ which will yield several necessary and sufficient conditions for the co
ordinate ring of such a threefold to be a polynomial ring. For instance\,
we will see that this problem of four variables reduces to the equivalent
but simpler two-variable question as to whether F(0\, z\, t) defines an e
mbedded line in the affine plane. As one immediate consequence\, one read
ily sees the non-triviality of the famous Russell-Koras threefold $x^2y+x
+z^2+t^3=0$ (which was an exciting open problem till the mid 1990s) from t
he obvious fact that $z^2+t^3$ is not a coordinate. The theory on the abov
e threefolds connects several central problems on Affine Algebraic Geometr
y. It links the study of these threefolds with the famous Abhyankar-Moh
“Epimorphism Theorem” in characteristic zero and the Segre-Nagata line
s in positive characteristic. We will also see a simplified proof of the
triviality of most of the Asanuma threefolds (to be defined in the talk) a
nd an affirmative solution to a special case of the Abhyankar-Sathaye Conj
ecture. Using the theory\, we will also give a recipe for constructing inf
initely many counterexample to the Zariski Cancellation Problem (ZCP) in p
ositive characteristic. This will give a simplified proof of the speaker's
earlier result on the negative solution for the ZCP.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: F-
splittings of the polynomial ring and compatibly split homogeneous ideals<
/a>\nby Matteo Varbaro (University of Genoa) as part of IIT Bombay Virtual
Commutative Algebra Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nA polynomial ring R in n varia
bles over a field K of positive characteristic is F-split. It has many F-s
plittings. When K is a perfect field every F-splitting is given by a polyn
omial g in R with the monomial u^{p-1} in its support (where u is the prod
uct of all the variables) occurring with coefficient 1\, plus a further co
ndition\, which is not needed if g is homogeneous (w.r.t. any positive gra
ding). Fixed an F-splitting s : R -> R\, an ideal I of R such that s(I) is
contained in I is said compatibly split (w.r.t. the F-splitting s). In th
is case R/I is F-split. Furthermore\, by Fedder’s criterion when I is a
homogeneous ideal of R\, R/I is F-split if and only if I is compatibly spl
it for some F-splitting s : R -> R. If\, moreover\, u^{p-1} is the initial
monomial of the associated polynomial g of s w.r.t. some monomial order\,
then in(I) is a square-free monomial ideal… In this talk I will survey
these facts (some of them classical\, some not so classical)\, and make so
me examples\, focusing especially on determinantal ideals.\n

IIT Bombay Virtual Commutative Algebra Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nGiven an ar
bitrary point on a Schubert (sub)variety in a Grassmannian\, how to comp
ute the Hilbert function (and\, in particular\, the multiplicity) of the l
ocal ring at that point? A solution to this problem based on "standard
monomial theory" was conjectured by Kreiman-Lakshmibai circa 2000 and the
conjecture was proved about a year or two later by them and independently
also by Kodiyalam and the speaker. The two talks will be an exposition o
f this material aimed at non-experts in the sense that we will not presume
familiarity with Grassmannians (let alone flag varieties) or Schubert var
ieties. \n\nThere are two steps to the solution. The first translate
s the problem from geometry to algebra and in turn to combinatorics. The
second is a solution of the resulting combinatorial problem\, which invo
lves establishing a bijection between two combinatorially defined sets.
The two talks will roughly deal with these two steps respectively.\n\nThr
ee aspects of the combinatorial formulation of the problem (and its soluti
on) are noteworthy: (A) it shows that the natural determinantal generat
ors of the tangent cone (at the given point) form a Groebner basis (in any
"anti-diagonal" term order)\; (B) it leads to an interpretation of the mu
ltiplicity as counting certain non-intersecting lattice paths\; and (C) a
s was observed by Kreiman some years later\, the combinatorial bijection
is a kind of Robinson-Schensted-Knuth correspondence\, which he calls th
e "bounded RSK".\n\nDeterminantal varieties arise as tangent cones at poin
ts on Schubert varieties (in the Grassmannian)\, and thus one recovers mul
tiplicity formulas for these obtained earlier by Abhyankar and Herzog-Trun
g. (The multiplicity part of the Kreiman-Lakshmibai conjecture was also p
roved by Krattenthaler\, but by very different methods.)\n\nWhat about Sc
hubert varieties in other (full or partial) flag varieties (G/Q with Q bei
ng a parabolic subgroup of a reductive algebraic group G)? The problem r
emains open in general\, even for the case of the full flag variety GL(n)/
B\, although there are several papers over the last two decades by vario
us authors using various methods that solve the problem in various special
cases. Time permitting\, we will give some indication of these result
s\, without however any attempt at comprehensiveness.\n

a-actions on Affine Varieties: Some Applications - Part 1\nby Amartya
Datta (ISI\, Kolkata) as part of IIT Bombay Virtual Commutative Algebra Se
minar\n\n\nAbstract\nOne of the hardest problems that come up in affine al
gebraic geometry is to decide whether a certain d-dimensional factorial a
ffine domain is ``trivial''\, i.e.\, isomorphic to the polynomial ring in
d variables. There are instances when the ring of invariants of a suitabl
y chosen G_a-action has been able to distinguish between two rings (i.e.\,
to prove they are non-isomorphic)\, when all other known invariants faile
d to make the distinction. It was using one such invariant that Makar-Lim
anov proved the non-triviality of the Russell-Koras threefold\, leading to
the solution of the Linearization Problem\; and again\, it was using an
invariant of G_a-actions that Neena Gupta proved the nontriviality of a l
arge class of Asanuma threefolds leading to her solution of the Zariski Ca
ncellation Problem in positive characteristic.\n\nG_a actions are also inv
olved in the algebraic characterisation of the affine plane by M. Miyanish
i and the algebraic characterisation of the affine 3-space.by Nikhilesh D
asgupta and Neena Gupta. Miyanishi's characterisation had led to the solut
ion of Zariski's Cancellation Problem for the affine plane. Using G_a-act
ions\, a simple algebraic proof for this cancellation theorem was obtaine
d three decades later by Makar-Limanov.\n\nIn this talk (in two parts)\, w
e will discuss the concept of G_a-actions along with the above application
s\, and the closely related theme of Invariant Theory. The concept of G_a-
action can be reformulated in the convenient ring-theoretic language of ``
locally nilpotent derivation'' (in characteristic zero) and ``exponential
map'' (in arbitrary characteristic). The ring of invariants of a G_a- acti
on corresponds to the kernel of the corresponding locally nilpotent deriva
tion (in characteristic zero) and the ring of invariants of an exponential
map. We will recall these concepts. We will also mention a theorem on G_
a actions on affine spaces (or polynomial rings) due to C.S. Seshadri.
\n\nWe will also discuss the close alignment of the kernel of a locally n
ilpotent derivation on a polynomial ring over a field of characteristic ze
ro with Hilbert's fourteenth problem. While Hilbert Basis Theorem had its
genesis in a problem on Invariant Theory\, Hilbert's fourteenth problem
seeks a further generalisation: Zariski generalises it still further. The
connection with locally nilpotent derivations has helped construct some l
ow-dimensional counterexamples to Hilbert's problem. We will also mention
an open problem about the kernel of a locally nilpotent derivation on the
polynomial ring in four variables\; and some partial results on it due to
Daigle-Freudenburg\, Bhatwadekar-Daigle\, Bhatwadekar-Gupta-Lokhande and
Dasgupta-Gupta. Finally\, we will state a few technical results on the ri
ng of invariants of a G_a action on the polynomial ring over a Noetherian
normal domain\, obtained by Bhatwadekar-Dutta and Chakrabarty-Dasgupta-Dut
ta-Gupta.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: On
the equivalence of weak and strong F-regularity\nby Ian Aberbach (Uni
versity of Missouri\, Columbia\, MO) as part of IIT Bombay Virtual Commuta
tive Algebra Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nLet $(R\, \\mathfrak m\, k)$ be a (Noe
therian) local ring of positive prime characteristic $p.$ Assume also\, f
or simplicity\, that $R$ is complete (or\, more generally\, excellent).
In such rings we have the notion of tight closure of an ideal\, defined by
Hochster and Huneke\, using the Frobenius endomorphism. The tight closur
e of an ideal sits between the ideal itself and its integral closure. Whe
n the tight closure of an ideal $I$ is $I$ itself we call $I$ tightly clos
ed. For particularly nice rings\, e.g.\, regular rings\, every ideal is ti
ghtly closed. We call such rings weakly $F$-regular. Unfortunately\, tig
ht closure is known not to commute with localization\, and hence this prop
erty of being weakly $F$-regular is not known to localize. To deal with t
his problem\, Hochster and Huneke defined the notion of strongly $F$-regul
ar (assuming $R$ is $F$-finite)\, which does localize\, and implies that $
R$ is weakly $F$-regular. It is still an open question whether or not the
two notions are equivalent\, although it has been shown in some classes o
f rings. Not much progress has been made in the last 15-20 years. I will
discuss the problem itself\, the cases that are known\, and also outline
recent progress made by myself and Thomas Polstra.\n

wers of component wise linear ideals\nby Juergen Herzog (University of
Duisberg-Essen) as part of IIT Bombay Virtual Commutative Algebra Seminar
\n\n\nAbstract\nLet $S=K[x_1\,\\ldots\,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over a
field and $A$ a standard graded $S$-algebra. In terms of the Groebner
basis of the defining ideal $J$ of $A$ we give a condition\, called the x-
condition\, which implies that all graded components $A_k$ of $A$ have li
near quotients and with additional assumptions are componentwise linear. A
typical example of such an algebra is the Rees ring $\\mathcal R(I)$ of a
graded ideal or the symmetric algebra $\\text{Sym}(M)$ of a module $M$. W
e apply our criterion to study certain symmetric algebras and the powers o
f vertex cover ideals of certain classes of graphs. This is a report on jo
int work with Takayuki Hibi and Somayeh Moradi.\n

irtual Commutative Algebra Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nThe singularities of a l
ocal prime characteristic ring are best understood through the behavior of
the Frobenius endomorphism. A singularity class of central focus is the c
lass of strongly $F$-regular rings. Examples of strongly $F$-regular rings
include normal affine toric rings\, direct summands of regular rings\, an
d determinantal rings. Every strongly $F$-regular ring enjoys the property
of being a normal Cohen-Macaulay domain. In particular\, the study of fin
itely generated maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over such rings is a warran
ted venture. We will demonstrate a surprising uniform behavior enjoyed by
the category of maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over a strongly $F$-regular
local ring. Consequently\, we can redrive Aberbach and Leuschke's theorem
that the $F$-signature of a strongly $F$-regular ring is positive in a no
vel and elementary manner. Time permitting\, we will present applications
on the structure of the divisor class group of a local strongly $F$-regula

h as regular\, Gorenstein\, or complete). We say that $P$ deforms if a loc
al ring $R$ enjoys property $P$ provided there exists a nonzerodivisor $x$
such that $R/xR$ is $P$. (For example\, the properties of being regular o
r Gorenstein deform\, but the property of being complete does not deform).
The deformation problem\, as it pertains to the prime characteristic sing

1980's and remains an active research area. We will survey the history of
the deformation problem of these four prime characteristic singularity cla

of IIT Bombay Virtual Commutative Algebra Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nGiven the
ir importance in constructing counterexamples to the Eisenbud-Goto Conject
ure\, it is reasonable to study the algebra and geometry of Rees-like alge
bras further. Given a graded ideal I of a polynomial ring S\, its Rees-li
ke algebra is S[It\, t^2]\, where t is a new variable. Unlike the Rees al
gebra\, whose defining equations are difficult to compute in general\, the
Rees-like algebra has a concrete minimal generating set in terms of the g
enerators and first syzygies of I. Moreover\, the free resolution of this
ideal is well understood. While it is clear that the Rees-like algebra o
f an ideal is never normal and only Cohen-Macaulay if the ideal is princip
al\, I will explain that it is often seminormal\, weakly normal\, or F-pur
e. I will also discuss the computation of the singular locus\, how the si
ngular locus is affected by homogenization\, and the structure of the cano
nical module\, class group\, and Picard group. This talk is joint work wi

e Eisenbud-Goto Conjecture\nby Jason McCullough (Iowa State University

nLet S be a polynomial ring over an algebraically closed field K. There h
as been considerable research into effective upper bounds for the Castelnu
ovo-Mumford regularity of graded ideals of S. Through the work of Bertram
\, Ein\, Gruson\, Kwak\, Lazarsfeld\, Peskine\, and others\, there are sev
eral good bounds for the defining ideals of smooth projective varieties in
characteristic zero. However\, for arbitrary ideals\, the best upper bou
nd is doubly exponential (in terms of the number of variables and degrees
of generators)\, and this bound is asymptotically close to optimal due to
examples derived from the Mayr-Meyer construction. In 1984\, Eisenbud and
Goto conjectured that the regularity of a nondegenerate prime ideal P was
at most deg(P) – codim(P) + 1\, and proved this when S/P was Cohen-Maca
ulay (even if P is not prime). In this talk\, I will explain the construc
tion of counterexamples to the Eisenbud-Goto Conjecture\, joint work with
Irena Peeva\, through the construction of Rees-Like algebras and a special
homogenization. While we show that there is no linear bound on regularit
y in terms of the degree (or multiplicity) of P\, we later showed that som
e such bound exists. The latter part of this talk is joint work with Giul

DESCRIPTION:Title: Ex
tremal Singularities in Prime Characteristic\nby Karen Smith (Universi
ty of Michigan) as part of IIT Bombay Virtual Commutative Algebra Seminar\
n\n\nAbstract\nWhat is the most singular possible singularity? What can we
say about its geometric and algebraic properties? This seemingly naive qu
estion has a sensible answer in characteristic p.\nThe "F-pure threshold\,
" which is an analog of the log canonical threshold\, can be used to "mea
sure" how bad a singularity is. The F-pure threshold is a numerical invari
ant of a point on (say) a hypersurface---a positive rational number that
is 1 at any smooth point (or more generally\, any F-pure point) but less
than one in general\, with "more singular" points having smaller F-pure th
resholds. We explain a recently proved lower bound on the F-pure threshol
d in terms of the multiplicity of the singularity. We also show that there
is a nice class of hypersurfaces---which we call "Extremal hypersurfaces"
---for which this bound is achieved. These have very nice (extreme!) geome
tric properties. For example\, the affine cone over a non Frobenius split
cubic surface of characteristic two is one example of an "extremal singula
rity". Geometrically\, these are the only cubic surfaces with the property
that *every* triple of coplanar lines on the surface meets in a single po
int (rather than a "triangle" as expected)---a very extreme property indee
d.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: So
me Questions on bounds of Betti Numbers of Numerical Semigroup Rings\n
by Indranath Sengupta (IIT Gandhinagar) as part of IIT Bombay Virtual Comm
utative Algebra Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nJ. Herzog proved in 1969 that the p
ossible values of the first Betti number (minimal number of generators of
the defining ideal) of numerical semigroup rings in embedding dimension 3
are 2 (complete intersection and Gorenstein) and 3 (the almost complete in
tersection).\n\nIn a conversation about this work\, O. Zariski indicated a
possible relation between Gorenstein rings and symmetric value semigroups
. In response to that\, E.Kunz proved (in 1970) that a one-dimensional\, l
ocal\, Noetherian\, reduced\, analytically irreducible ring is Gorenstein
if and only if its value semigroup is symmetric. A question that remains o
pen to date is whether the Betti numbers (or at least the first Betti numb
er) of every numerical semigroup ring in embedding dimension e\, are bound
ed above by a function of e.\n\nIn the years 1974 and 1975\, two interesti
ng classes of examples were given by T. Moh and H. Bresinsky. Moh’s exam
ple was that of a family of algebroid space curves and Bresinsky’s examp
le was about a family of numerical semigroups in embedding dimension 4\, w
ith the common feature that there is no upper bound on the Betti numbers.
Therefore\, for embedding dimension 4 and above\, the Betti numbers (or at
least the first Betti number) are not bounded above by some “good” fu
nction of the embedding dimension e. A question that emerges is the follow
ing: Is there a natural way to generate such numerical semigroups in arbit
rary embedding dimension? In this talk\, we will discuss some recent obser
vations in this direction\, which is a joint work of the author with his c
ollaborators Joydip Saha and Ranjana Mehta.\n

these cases\, it is possible to explicitly describe certain initial ideal
of the defining ideal of $X$ and consequently one obtains an explicit des

generalized-fractions approach to computing local cohomology.\nby Moty
Katzman (University of Sheffield) as part of IIT Bombay Virtual Commutati
ve Algebra Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nThis talk aims to describe a method to c
ompute Lyubeznik Numbers in prime characteristic by applying generalized f
ractions tools to $F$-finite $F$-modules. The main part of the talk will c
onsist of a very brief introduction to local cohomology\, Lyubeznik's noti
on of $F$-finite $F$-modules\, and the Sharp-Zakeri theory of generalized
fractions. This introduction will be aimed at non-experts.\n\nThe final pa
rt of the talk will introduce Lyubeznik numbers and show how these can be
computed using the tools introduced earlier in the talk.\nAll results are
based on a joint project with Rodney Sharp whose results are available in

on joint work with Laurent Busé and Navid Nemati. First\, the classical
situation of the theory of resultants and Sylvester forms in a standard gr

ies of monographs. Then we will explain the extension of this theory to th
e multi-graded case (which corresponds to a product of projective spaces\,
in place of a single one). This builds on the previous work of two Ph.D.
students of Jouanolou (Chaichaa and Chkiriba) and an extension of a dualit
y result from the classical case to this more general setting. We will ill
ustrate these in a very simple case\, by providing a family of formulas th
at extends the work of Dixon.\n

Genova) at VCAS on Dec. 1\, 2020.\nLet $H \\subset \\mathbb N$ be a nume
rical semigroup ring and $k[H]$ be its semigroup ring over any field $K.$
If $H = ⟨n_1\, \\ldots\,n_e)$\, we express $k[H]$ as $k[H] = k[x_1\,\\l
dots\,x_e]/I_H$ and we want to express $k[H]/(t^h)$ by ”Inverse polynomi
als” of Macaulay.\nWe study the defining ideal of a numerical semigroup
ring $k[H]$ using the inverse poly- nomial attached to the Artinian ring $
k[H]/(t^h)$ for $h \\in H_+$. I believe this method to express by inverse
polynomials is very powerful and can be used for many purposes. At present
\, we apply this method for the following cases.\n(1) To give a criterion
for H to be symmetric or almost symmetric.\n(2) Characterization of symmet

Stamate (University of Bucharest\, Romania) as part of IIT Bombay Virtual
Commutative Algebra Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nLet R be a Cohen-Macaulay loca
l ring (or positively graded K-algebra) with canonical module $\\omega_R.$
The trace of the latter\, $tr(\\omega_R)\,$ is by definition\, the ideal
generated by the images of all R-module homomorphisms from $\\omega_R$ int
o R. Since this ideal describes the non-Gorenstein locus of R\, it can be
viewed as a way to measure how far is R from being Gorenstein.\n\nIn terms
of this ideal\, new classes of rings have been introduced\, and their pro
perties are under scrutiny. We discuss some of these approaches\, with a s
pecial focus on families of examples coming from combinatorics. \n\nThis t

inding Maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules\nby Prashant Sridhar (TIFR\, Mum
bai\, India) as part of IIT Bombay Virtual Commutative Algebra Seminar\n\n
\nAbstract\nIn this talk\, we consider a problem that lies in the confluen
ce of two topics.\nOn one hand\, we have maximal Cohen-Macaulay (MCM) modu
les - these are classical objects that have been studied extensively from
algebraic and geometric viewpoints. There is a rich theory of MCM modules
over Cohen-Macaulay (CM) rings and many beautiful connections to the singu
larities of the ring have been discovered. However\, in the absence of the
CM property in the ring\, not as much is known - even the object's existe
nce is largely unclear.\nOn the other hand\, we have a mixed characteristi
c phenomenon. In 1980\, Paul Roberts showed that the integral closure of a
regular local ring in an Abelian extension of its quotient field is CM\,
provided the characteristic of the residue field does not divide the degre
e of the extension. This fails in the "modular case" in mixed characterist
ic.\nWe will look at some past results in the literature before considerin
g the question of existence of MCMs in the modular case of Roberts's theor
em.\n

omological properties of symbolic powers of cover ideals of graphs\nby

e associates its edge ideal which is generated by quadratic squarefree mo
nomials corresponding to edges of the graph. In this talk\, we study the A
lexander dual of edge ideals\, which is called the cover ideal. The reason
for this naming is that the cover ideal is minimally generated by squaref
ree monomials corresponding to the minimal vertex covers of the given grap
h. We review the recent results about the symbolic powers of cover ideals.
In particular\, we characterize all graphs with the property that every s
ymbolic power of its cover ideal has a linear resolution. Also\, we determ
ine an upper bound for the regularity of symbolic powers of certain classe
s of graphs including bipartite graphs\, unmixed graphs and claw-free grap

DESCRIPTION:Title: C
ellular Resolutions and Powers of Monomial Ideals\nby Susan Morey (Tex
as State University) as part of IIT Bombay Virtual Commutative Algebra Sem
inar\n\n\nAbstract\nUsing combinatorial structures to obtain resolutions o
f monomial ideals is an idea that traces back to Diana Taylor’s thesis\,
where a simplex associated to the generators of a monomial ideal was used
to construct a free resolution of the ideal. This concept has been expand
ed over the years\, with various authors determining conditions under whic
h simplicial or cellular complexes can be associated to monomial ideals in
ways that produce a free resolution. \nIn a research project initiated
at a BIRS workshop “Women in Commutative Algebra” in Fall 2019\, the\n
authors studied simplicial and cellular structures that produced resolutio
ns of powers of monomial\nideals. The optimal structure to use depends upo
n the structure of the monomial ideal. This talk will focus on powers of s
quare-free monomial ideals of projective dimension one. Faridi and Hersey
proved that a monomial ideal has projective dimension one if and only if t
here is an associated tree (one dimensional acyclic simplicial complex) th
at supports a free resolution of the ideal. The talk will show how\, for e
ach power $r >\;1$\, to use the tree associated to a square-free monomia
l ideal $I$ of projective dimension one to produce a cellular complex that
supports a free resolution of $I^r$. Moreover\, each of these resolutions
will be minimal resolutions. These cellular resolutions can also be viewe
d as strands of the resolution of the Rees algebra of $I$. This talk will
contain joint work with Susan Cooper\, Sabine El Khoury\, Sara Faridi\, Sa
rah Mayes-Tang\, Liana Sega\, and Sandra Spiroff.\nChairperson - Takayuki

ons of squarefree powers of edge ideals. The $k$th squarefree power $I(G)^
{[k]}$ of $I(G)$ is generated by the squarefree monomials in $I(G)^k$. We

oric degenerations of Grassmannians\nby Fatemeh Mohammadi (Ghent Unive

Algebra Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nToric varieties are popular objects in alg
ebraic geometry\, as they can be modelled on polytopes and polyhedral fans
. This is mainly because there is a dictionary between their geometric pro
perties and the combinatorial invariants of their polytopes. This dictiona
ry can be extended from toric varieties to arbitrary varieties through tor
ic degenerations. \n\nIn this talk\, I will introduce the notion of toric
degenerations which generalizes the fruitful correspondence between toric
varieties and polytopes\, to arbitrary varieties. There are prototypic exa
mples of toric degenerations (of Grassmannians) which are related to Young
tableaux and Gelfand-Cetlin polytopes. I will describe how to obtain such
degenerations using the theory of Gröbner fans and tropical geometry\, a

et $E =\\{e_1\,\\ldots\,e_s\\}$ and vertex set $V = \\{x_1\,\\ldots\,x_n\\

hen is a homogeneous ideal a limit of saturated ones?\nby Joachim Jeli
siejew (University of Warsaw) as part of IIT Bombay Virtual Commutative Al
gebra Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nLet I be a homogeneous ideal in a polynomial
ring S. If the Hilbert function of S/I is admissible\, for example (1\,n\,
n\,n\,...) is it natural to ask whether I is a limit of homogeneous ideals
: does there exist a ideal F in S[t] such that F(t = 0) is equal to I\, wh
ile F(t = lambda) is a saturated homogeneous ideal for lambda general. Exa
mples of such limits (for the above Hilbert function) can be constructed e
.g. by degenerating I(Gamma)\, where Gamma is a tuple of n general points
on the projective space associated to S. However\, to decide whether a giv
en ideal I is a limit is very much nontrivial. This problem very recently
became of key interest for applications in the theory of tensors: proving
that certain ideals are not limits would improve best known lower bounds o
n border ranks of certain important tensors.\nIn the talk I will report ho
w surprisingly little is known and present some recent results and some ch
allenges\, both theoretical and computational. All this is a joint work w
ith Tomasz Mandziuk.\n

haracterisation of the affine plane using $\\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy theory<
/a>\nby Utsav Chowdhury (Indian Statical Institute\, Kolkata\, India) as p
art of IIT Bombay Virtual Commutative Algebra Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nChara
cterisation of the affine $n$-space is one of the major problem in affine
algebraic geometry. Miyanishi showed an affine complex surface $X$ is isom
orphic to $\\mathbb{C}^2$ if $\\mathscr{O}(X)$ is a U.F.D.\, $\\mathscr{O}
(X)^*= \\mathbb{C}^∗$ and $X$ has a non-trivial $\\mathbb{G}_a$-action [
3\, Theorem 1]. Since the orbits of a $\\mathbb{G}_a$-action are affine li
nes\, existence of a non-trivial $\\mathbb{G}_a$-action says that there is
a non-constant $\\mathbb{A}^1$ in X. Ramanujam showed that a smooth compl
ex surface is isomorphic to $\\mathbb{C}^2$ if it is topologically contrac
tible and it is simply connected at infinity [5]. Topological contractibil
ity\, in particular pathconnectedness says that there are non-constant int
ervals in X. On the other hand\, $\\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy theory has been
developed by F.Morel and V.Voevodsky [4] as a connection between algebra a
nd topology. An algebrogeometric analogue of topological connectedness is
$\\mathbb{A}^1$-connectedness. In this talk\, using ghost homotopy techniq
ues [2\, Section 3] we will prove that if a surface $X$ is $\\mathbb{A}^1$
-connected\, then there is an open dense subset such that through every po
int there is a non-constant $\\mathbb{A}^1$ in X. As a consequence using t
he algebraic characterisation\, we will prove that $\\mathbb{C}^2$ is the
only $\\mathbb{A}^1$-contractible smooth complex surface. This answers the
conjecture appeared in [1\, Conjecture 5.2.3]. We will also see some othe
r useful consequences of this result. This is a joint work with Biman Roy.

DESCRIPTION:Title: M
ultiplicities in flat local extensions\nby Cheng Meng (Purdue Universi
ty\, West Lafayette\, IN\, USA) as part of IIT Bombay Virtual Commutative
Algebra Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nWe introduce the notion of strongly Lech-in
dependent ideals as a generalization of Lech-independent ideals defined by
Lech and Hanes\, and use this notion to derive inequalities on multiplici
ties of ideals. In particular we prove that if (R\,m) and (S\,n) are Noeth
erian local rings of the same dimension\, S is a flat local extension of R
\,and up to completion S is standard graded over a field and I=mS is homog
eneous\, then the multiplicity of R is no greater than that of S.\n

niform bounds on symbolic powers in regular rings via closure theory\n
by Takumi Murayama (Purdue University\, West Lafayette\, IN\, USA) as part
of IIT Bombay Virtual Commutative Algebra Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nThe cont
ainment problem asks: For a fixed ideal I\, which symbolic powers of I are
contained in an ordinary power of I? We present a closure-theoretic proof
of the theorem which says that for ideals I in regular rings R\, there is
a uniform containment of symbolic powers of I in ordinary powers of I.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: A
symptotic behaviors of the Frobenius pushforwards of the ring of invariant
s\nby Mitsuyasu Hashimoto (Osaka Metropolitan University\, Sumiyoshi-k
u\, Osaka\, Japan) as part of IIT Bombay Virtual Commutative Algebra Semi
nar\n\n\nAbstract\nLet k be an algebraically closed field of characteris
tic p > 0\, n a positive integer\, and V = k^d. Let G be a finite
subgroup of GL(V) without pseudoreflections. Let S = Sym V be the symm
etric algebra of V\, and A = S^G be the ring of invariants. The functor
(?)^G gives an equivalence between the category {}^*Ref(G\,S)\, the
category of Q-graded S-finite S-reflexive (G\,S)-modules and the categor
y {}^*Ref(A)\, the category of Q-graded A-finite A-reflexive A-modules.
As the ring of invariants of the Frobenius pushforward ({}^e S)^G is
the Frobenius pushforward {}^eA\, the study of the (G\,S)-module {}^e S
for various e yields good information on {}^eA. Using this principle\
, we get some results on the properties of A coming from the asymptotic
behaviors of {}^eA. In this talk\, we talk about the following:\n\nthe g
eneralized F-signature of A (with Y. Nakajima and with P. Symonds).\nExam
ples of G and V such that A is F-rational\, but not F-regular.\nExamp
les of G and V such that (the completion of) A is not of finite F-re
presentation type (work in progress with A. Singh).\nGeneralizing finite
groups to finite group schemes G\, we have that s(A)>0 if and only if G
is linearly reductive\, and if this is the case\, s(A)=1/|G|\, where |G
| is the dimension of the coordinate ring k[G] of G\, provided the acti
on of G on Spec S is ‘small’ (with F. Kobayashi).\n

evel and pseudo-Gorenstein binomial edge ideals\nby Rajib Sarkar (TIFR
\, Mumbai\, India) as part of IIT Bombay Virtual Commutative Algebra Semin
ar\n\n\nAbstract\nGorenstein binomial edge ideals have been completely cha
racterized and they are the paths only. There are two interesting generali
zations of Gorenstein rings: level rings and pseudo-Gorenstein rings. In t
he first half\, we will talk about the behavior of the levelness and pseud
o-Gorensteinness on the decomposable graphs and cone graphs. \nIn the next
half\, we will discuss the characterization of Cohen-Macaulay binomial ed
ge ideals of bipartite graphs and then their levelness and pseudo-Gorenste
inness.\nThis talk is based on the joint work with Giancarlo Rinaldo.\n

ifferential operators\, retracts\, and toric face rings\nby Christine
Berkesh (University of Minnesota\, Minneapolis\, MN\, USA) as part of IIT
Bombay Virtual Commutative Algebra Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nToric face rings
\, introduced by Stanley\, are simultaneous generalizations of Stanley–R
eisner rings and affine semigroup rings\, among others. We use the combina
torics of the fan underlying these rings to inductively compute their ring
s of differential operators. Along the way\, we discover a new differentia
l characterization of the Gorenstein property for affine semigroup rings.
Our approach applies to a more general class of rings\, which we call alge
bras realized by retracts. This is joint work with C-Y. Chan\, P. Klein\,
L. Matusevich\, J. Page\, and J. Vassilev.\n

omology of symmetric semi-algebraic sets\nby Saugata Basu (Purdue Univ

ive Algebra Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nStudying the homology groups of semi-al
gebraic subsets of $\\mathbb{R}^n$ and obtaining upper bounds\non the Bett
i numbers has been a classical topic in real algebraic geometry beginning
with the\nwork of Petrovskii and Oleinik\, Thom\, and Milnor. In this talk
I will consider semi-algebraic\nsubsets of $\\mathbb{R}^n$ which are defi
ned by symmetric polynomials and are thus stable under the\nstandard actio
n of the symmetric group $\\mathfrak{S}_n$ on $\\mathbb{R}^n$.\nThe homolo
gy groups (with rational coefficients) of such sets\nthus acquire extra st
ructure as $\\mathfrak{S}_n$-modules leading to\npossible refinements on t
he classical bounds. I will also mention some \nconnections with a homolog
ical stability conjecture.\n \nJoint work (separately) with Daniel Perruc
ci and Cordian Riener.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: T
he Theory of F-rational Signature\nby Kevin Tucker (University of Illi
nois Chicago\, IL\, USA) as part of IIT Bombay Virtual Commutative Algebra
Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nThe celebrated results of Smith\, Hara\, and Mehta
-Srinivas connect rational singularities in characteristic zero after redu
ction to characteristic p > 0 with F-rational singularities. In recent yea
rs\, a number of invariants defined via Frobenius in positive characterist
ics have been introduced as quantitative measures of F-rationality. These
include the F-rational signature (Hochster-Yao)\, relative F-rational sign
ature (Smirnov-Tucker)\, and dual F-signature (Sannai). In this talk\, I w
ill discuss new results in joint work with Smirnov relating each of these
invariants. In particular\, we show that the relative F-rational signature
and dual F-signature coincide\, while also verifying that the dual F-sign
ature limit converges.\n
