Abstract

The aims of this work are to study Rees algebras of filtrations of monomial ideals associated to covering polyhedra of rational matrices with non-negative entries and non-zero columns using combinatorial optimization and integer programming, and to study powers of monomial ideals and their integral closures using irreducible decompositions and polyhedral geometry. We study the Waldschmidt constant and the ic-resurgence of the filtration associated to a covering polyhedron and show how to compute these constants using linear programming. Then we show a lower bound for the ic-resurgence of the ideal of covers of a graph and prove that the lower bound is attained when the graph is perfect. We also show lower bounds for the ic-resurgence of the edge ideal of a graph and give an algorithm to compute the asymptotic resurgence of squarefree monomial ideals. A classification of when Newton's polyhedron is the irreducible polyhedron is presented using integral closure.

Categories of Multigraded Local Cohomology Modules: Serre Filtrations and Nakayama Duality

Let $\Bbbk$ be a field, let $S=\Bbbk[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ with its standard $\mathbb N^n$-grading, and let $\mathfrak m=(x_1,\ldots,x_n)$. For $0\le i<n$ and $q=n-i$, we identify the category $\mathcal H_i(\mathbf t)$ of shifted multigraded local cohomology modules with \[ \Rep(U_q(\mathbf t)),\qquad U_q(\mathbf t)=\{\mathbf a\in[\mathbf0,\mathbf t]\mid |\operatorname{supp}(\mathbf a)|\ge q\}. \] This gives the finite and global Serre filtrations and their pure support-rank quotients. We organize the resulting torsion and quotient structures through abelian recollement: an order-ideal decomposition produces a canonical TTF triple, hereditary support torsion pairs, and Gabriel quotients. For finite posets both complementary recollement orientations exist, whereas for the global finite-support categories only the inward-finite orientation is automatic. These recollements admit bounded derived lifts. Under an additional finite-resolution condition the derived finite-support categories have right Serre functors, and derived Kan extensions satisfy a right-Serre exchange. In finite boxes we further construct a functorial rank-layer resolution comparing the left and right Kan sections; Nakayama--Serre duality transforms it into an explicit costandard rank complex. The exceptional top category $\mathcal H_n(\mathbf t)$ is treated separately via second cosyzygies.

Associated primes, witnesses, and omega invariants of monomial ideals

We introduce and study the omega invariant of a proper ideal in a Noetherian commutative ring, defined as the number of associated primes of the ideal. Our main objective is to investigate this invariant for monomial ideals and their powers. We characterize associated primes through monomial witnesses and provide an algorithmic procedure for constructing such witnesses from the exponent vectors of the minimal generators. These results lead to explicit formulas and bounds for the omega invariant without requiring the computation of a primary decomposition. We further establish alternative descriptions using irreducible decompositions and Alexander duality. A matrix-based approach is developed to detect associated primes of powers of monomial ideals directly from the exponent matrix of the original ideal. We also investigate the behavior of witnesses under passage from $I^n$ to $I^{n+1}$ and derive corresponding results for edge ideals of graphs.

Quadratic Gr\"obner bases for cut ideals of cycles and ring graphs

Let $C_n$ be the cycle of length $n\ge3$ and let $I_{C_n}$ be its cut ideal. We show that $I_{C_n}$ has a quadratic Gr\"obner basis with respect to an explicit weight order. Since the defining configuration consists of $(0,1)$-vectors, the initial monomials of such a basis are automatically squarefree. As the cut polytope of a cycle is the parity polytope, the result gives a regular unimodular flag triangulation of this classical polytope. Together with the known tree case and the clique-sum theorem for cut ideals, the cycle result also yields a quadratic Gr\"obner basis for the cut ideal of every connected ring graph with at least one edge, thereby supplying the missing cycle input and establishing the result for connected ring graphs.
