Abstract

Similarities are noted in two Mayer-Vietoris spectral sequences that generalize to any number of ideals in the Mayer-Vietoris exact sequence in local cohomology for two ideals. One has as first terms \v{C}ech cohomology with respect to sums of the given ideals and converge to cohomology with respect to the product of the ideals, the other has as first terms \v{C}ech cohomology with respect to products of the given ideals and converge to cohomology with respect to the sum of the ideals. The first one was obtained by Lyubeznik in \cite{Lyu}, while the second is constructed in \cite[Chapter 2]{Hol} and could also be deduced from results in \cite{God}. We present results on the cohomology of multiple complexes that enables us to deduce both from two related constructions on multiple complexes. A key ingredient is a fact that seems not to have been noticed before: cohomology with respect to a product of ideals is the one of a subcomplex of the \v{C}ech complex computing cohomology with respect to the sum of the given ideals; this provides a much shorter complex to compute cohomology with respect to the product of ideals.

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.
