• Some comments to a result by Moreno

  2021. Ralf Fröberg. Communications in Algebra

  Article

  Moreno studies the following question. Let I be an ideal in k[x(1), ... , x(n)] generated minimally by elements of degree d, d+1, d+2, .. .How long can such a sequence of generators be? Later he also studies the opposite question.

• Primary Decomposition of Powers of the Prime Ideal of a Numerical Semigroup Ring

  2019. Ralf Fröberg.

  Article

  Let R=k[t(n1),...t(ns)] = k[x(1),...x(s)]/P be a numerical semigroup ring and let P-(n) = (PRP)-R-n boolean AND R be the symbolic power of P and R-s(P) = circle plus(i >= 0)P((n))t(n) the symbolic Rees ring of P. It is hard to determine symbolic powers of P; there are even non-Noetherian symbolic Rees rings for 3-generated semigroups. We determine the primary decomposition of powers of P for some classes of 3-generated numerical semigroups.

• Algebraic Stories from One and from the Other Pockets

  2018. Ralf Fröberg (et al.).

  Article

  In what follows, we present a large number of questions which were posed on the problem solving seminar in algebra at Stockholm University during the period Fall 2014—Spring 2017 along with a number of results related to these problems. Many of the results were obtained by participants of the latter seminar.

• Powers of generic ideals and the weak Lefschetz property for powers of some monomial complet intersections

  2018. Mats Boij, Ralf Fröberg, Samuel Lundqvist. Journal of Algebra 495, 1-14

  Article

  Given an ideal I = (f(1) ... , f(r)) in C[x(1), ... , 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 C[x(1), ... , x(n)] / I-k be? If r <= 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.

• Questions and conjectures on extremal Hilbert series

  2018. Ralf Fröberg, Samuel Lundqvist. Revista de la Unión Matemática Argentina 59 (2), 415-429

  Article

  Given an ideal of forms in an algebra (polynomial ring, tensor algebra, exterior algebra, Lie algebra, bigraded polynomial ring), we consider the Hilbert series of the factor ring. We concentrate on the minimal Hilbertseries, which is achieved when the forms are generic. In the polynomial ring we also consider the opposite case of maximal series. This is mainly a survey article, but we give a lot of problems and conjectures. The only novel results concern the maximal series in the polynomial ring.

• On Vandermonde Varieties

  2016. Ralf Fröberg, Boris Shapiro. Mathematica Scandinavica 119 (1), 73-91

  Article

  Motivated by the famous Skolem-Mahler-Lech theorem we initiate in this paper the study of a natural class of determinantal varieties, which we call Vandermonde varieties. They are closely related to the varieties consisting of all linear recurrence relations of a given order possessing a non-trivial solution vanishing at a given set of integers. In the regular case, i.e., when the dimension of a Vandermonde variety is the expected one, we present its free resolution, obtain its degree and the Hilbert series. Some interesting relations among Schur polynomials are derived. Many open problems and conjectures are posed.

• On free resolutions of some semigroup rings

  2014. Valentina Barucci, Ralf Fröberg, Mesut Sahin. Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra 218 (6), 1107-1116

  Article

  For some numerical semigroup rings of small embedding dimension, namely those of embedding dimension 3, and symmetric or pseudosymmetric of embedding dimension 4, presentations has been determined in the literature. We extend these results by giving the whole graded minimal free resolutions explicitly. Then we use these resolutions to determine some invariants of the semigroups and certain interesting relations among them. Finally, we determine semigroups of small embedding dimensions which have strongly indispensable resolutions.

• On differential operators of numerical semigroup rings

  2013. Valentina Barucci, Ralf Fröberg. Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra 217 (2), 230-237

  Article

  If S = < d(1),...,d(nu)> is a numerical semigroup, we call the ring C[S] = C[t(d1),...,t(d nu)] the semigroup ring of S. We study the ring of differential operators on C[S] , and its associated graded in the filtration induced by the order of the differential operators. We find that these are easy to describe if S is a so-called Art semigroup. If I is an ideal in C[S] that is generated by monomials, we also give some results on Der(I, I) (the set of derivations which map I into I).

• Poincare series of some hypergraph algebras

  2013. Ralf Fröberg (et al.). Mathematica Scandinavica 112, 5-10

  Article

  A hypergraph H = (V, E), where V = {x(1),...,x(n)} and E subset of 2(V) defines a hypergraph algebra R-H = k[x(1),...,x(n)]/(x(i1)...x(ik); {i(1),...,i(k)} is an element of E). All our hypergraphs are d-uniform, i.e., vertical bar e(i)vertical bar = d for all e(i) is an element of E. We determine the Poincare series P-RH (t) = Sigma(infinity)(i=1) dim(k) Tor(i)(RH) (k, k)(t)(i) for some hypergraphs generalizing lines, cycles, and stars. We finish by calculating the graded Betti numbers and the Poincare series of the graph algebra of the wheel graph.

• On the Waring problem for polynomial rings

  2012. Ralf Fröberg, Giorgio Ottaviani, Boris Shapiro. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 109 (15), 5600-5602

  Article

  In this note we discuss an analog of the classical Waring problem for C[x(0),x(1),..., x(n)]- Namely, we show that a general homogeneous polynomial p is an element of C[x(0),x(1),..,x(n)] of degree divisible by k >= 2 can be represented as a sum of at most k(n) k-th powers of homogeneous polynomials in C[x(0),x(1),...,x(n)]. Noticeably, k(n) coincides with the number obtained by naive dimension count.

• Associated graded rings of one-dimensional analytically irreducible rings II

  2011. Valentina Barucci, Ralf Fröberg. Journal of Algebra 336 (1), 279-285

  Article

  Lance Bryant noticed in his thesis (Bryant, 2009 [3]), that there was a flaw in our paper (Barucci and Froberg, 2006 (2]). It can be fixed by adding a condition, called the BF condition in Bryant (2009) [3]. We discuss some equivalent conditions, and show that they are fulfilled for some classes of rings, in particular for our motivating example of semigroup rings. Furthermore we discuss the connection to a similar result, stated in more generality, by Cortadellas and Zarzuela in [4]. Finally we use our result to conclude when a semigroup ring in embedding dimension at most three has an associated graded which is a complete intersection.

  For a graph G, we show a theorem that establishes a correspondence between the fine Hilbert series of the Stanley-Reisner ring of the clique complex for the complementary graph of G and the fine subgraph polynomial of G. We obtain from this theorem some corollaries regarding the independent set complex and the matching complex.
