Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the fluctuation phenomenon in the sets of associated primes and depths of powers of monomial ideals. We provide affirmative answers to two open questions posed in [8] concerning the existence of monomial ideals in K[x,y,z] whose associated primes exhibit prescribed patterns of appearance, disappearance, and reappearance of the maximal ideal across specified ranges of powers. For each construction, we also derive the corresponding fluctuation in depths. Furthermore, we construct a square-free monomial ideal that is nearly normally torsion-free but fails to satisfy the persistence property, thereby answering a question posed in [20] in the negative. This example arises as the edge ideal of the ideal minimally non-packing clutter Q_10, revealing an intriguing connection between combinatorial optimization and the algebraic properties of monomial ideals.

Ramification ideals for products of pure subgroups

We study ramification ideals of finite Galois extensions of henselian valued fields whose Galois groups are products of pure subgroups. We give a criterion showing that the ideals supplied by the factors need not exhaust all subgroup ideals, and construct $C_p^2$-counterexamples of rank one with each defect $1,p,p^2$. For ramification-adapted families, whose intersections generate each ramification group, every subgroup ideal is represented by a cyclic subgroup of one member; when the members are pure, this gives a description in terms of distance sets. Such adapted decompositions always exist for elementary abelian groups. We also characterize principality of ramification ideals through defectlessness of the pure adapted factors. Kuhlmann's example shows that these conditions do not imply defectlessness of the full extension.

Commutative rings with square-difference factor absorbing factorization

We introduce and study sdf-absorbing factorization rings (SAF-rings), in which every regular ideal is a finite product of square-difference factor absorbing ideals. We investigate their behavior under direct products, localizations, factor rings, and module idealizations, and establish connections with SP-rings, Dedekind rings, and N-rings. We also introduce strongly sdf-absorbing factorization rings (SSAF-rings), relate them to SSP-rings and almost multiplication rings, and prove that the Noetherian SSAF-rings are precisely the ZPI-rings. Applications to module idealizations and monoid rings are also presented.
