Let K be a field of characteristic 0. Let P_K(5,103,169) be the defining ideal of the space monomial curve {(t^5,t^{103},t^{169})}. In this paper we shall prove that the symbolic Rees algebra R_s(P_K(5,103,169)) is not Noetherian, that is, is not finitely generated over K.
Let X be a toric variety over a field K determined by a triangle. Let Y be the blow-up at (1,1) in X. In this paper we give some criteria for finite generation of the Cox ring of Y in the case where Y has a curve C such that C^2 \le 0 and C.E=1 (E is the exceptional divisor). The natural surjection Z^3 \rightarrow Cl(X) gives the ring homomorphism K[Z^3] \rightarrow K[Cl(X)]. We denote by I the kernel of the composite map K[x,y,z] \subset K[Z^3] \rightarrow K[Cl(X)]. Then Cox(Y) coincides with the extended symbolic Rees ring R's(I). In the case where Cl(X) is torsion-free, this ideal I is the defining ideal of a space monomial curve. Let Delta be the triangle (4.1) below. Then I is the ideal of K[x,y,z] generated by 2-minors of the 2*3-matrix {{x^7, y^2, z},{y^{11}, z, x^{10}}}. (In this case, there exists a curve C with C^2=0 and C.E=1. This ideal I is not a prime ideal.) Applying our criteria, we prove that R's(I) is Noetherian if and only if the characteristic of K is 2 or 3.
Consider the blow-up Y of a weighted projective plane at a point in the open orbit over a field of characteristic 0. We assume that there exists a curve C on Y such that C^2<0 and C.E=1, where E is the exceptional curve. In this paper we give a (very simple) necessary and sufficient condition for finite generation of the Cox ring of Y (Theorem~1.2). It is an affirmative answer to a conjecture due to He and Kurano-Nishida.
Finite generation of the symbolic Rees ring of a space monomial prime ideal of a 3-dimensional weighted polynomial ring is a very interesting problem. Negative curves play important roles in finite generation of these rings. We are interested in the structure of the negative curve. We shall prove that negative curves are rational in many cases. We also see that the Cox ring of the blow-up of a toric variety at the point (1,1,...,1) coincides with the extended symbolic Rees ring of an ideal of a polynomial ring. For example, Roberts' second counterexample to Cowsik's question (and Hilbert's 14th problem) coincides with the Cox ring of some normal projective variety.
In this paper, we give a detailed proof to a result of Gabber (unpublished) on the lifting problem of quasi-excellent rings, extending the previous work on Nishimura-Nishimura. As a corollary, we establish that an ideal-adic completion of an excellent (resp. quasi-excellent) ring is excellent (resp. quasi-excellent).
For a Mori dream space X, the Cox ring Cox(X) is a Noetherian Z^n-graded normal domain for some n > 0. Let C(Cox(X)) be the cone (in R^n) which is spanned by the vectors a \in Z^n such that Cox(X)_a \neq 0. Then C(Cox(X)) is decomposed into a union of chambers. Berchtold and Hausen proved the existence of such decompositions for affine integral domains over an algebraically closed field. We shall give an elementary algebraic proof to this result in the case where the homogeneous component of degree 0 is a field. Using such decompositions, we develop the Demazure construction for Z^n-graded Krull domains. That is, under an assumption, we show that a Z^n-graded Krull domain is isomorphic to the multi-section ring R(X; D_1, \ldots, D_n) for certain normal projective variety X and Q-divisors D_1,...,D_n on X.
In this paper, we shall study finite generation of symbolic Rees rings of the defining ideal ${\frak p}$ of the space monomial curve $(t^a, t^b, t^c)$ for pairwise coprime integers $a$, $b$, $c$. Suppose that the base field is of characteristic $0$ and the above ideal ${\frak p}$ is minimally generated by three polynomials. Under the assumption that the homogeneous element $ξ$ of the minimal degree in ${\frak p}$ is the negative curve, we determine the minimal degree of an element $η$ such that the pair $\{ ξ, η\}$ satisfies Huneke's criterion in the case where the symbolic Rees ring is Noetherian. By this result, we can decide whether the symbolic Rees ring ${\cal R}_s({\frak p})$ is Notherian using computers. We give a necessary and sufficient conditions for finite generation of the symbolic Rees ring of ${\frak p}$ under some assumptions. We give an example of an infinitely generated symbolic Rees ring of ${\frak p}$ in which the homogeneous element of the minimal degree in ${\frak p}^{(2)}$ is the negative curve. We give a simple proof to (generalized) Huneke's criterion.
The aim of this article is to give a new proof of Cohen-Gabber theorem in the equal characteristic $p>0$ case.
The aim of this paper is to define the notion of the Cohen-Macaulay cone of a Noetherian local domain R and to present its application to the theory of Hilbert-Kunz functions. It has been shown in Kurano's paper "Numerical equivalence defined on Chow groups of Noetherian local rings", Invent. Math. (2004), that, with a mild condition on R, the numerical Grothendieck group is a finitely generated torsion-free abelian group. The Cohen-Macaulay cone of R is a cone in the numerical Grothendieck group spanned by cycles represented by maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules. We study basic properties on the Cohen-Macaulay cone in this paper. As an application, various examples of Hilbert-Kunz functions in the polynomial type will be produced. Precisely, for any given integers $ε_i$= 0, -1 or 1 for d/2<i<d, where d = dim R, we shall construct a d-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local ring R (of characteristic p) and a maximal primary ideal I of R such that the Hilbert-Kunz function of R is a polynomial in p^n of degree d whose coefficient of $(p^n)^i$ is the product of $ε_i$ and a positive rational number for d/2< i<d. The existence of such ring is proved by using Segre products to construct a Cohen-Macaulay ring such that the Chow group of the ring is of certain simplicity and that test modules exists for it.
Let $R$ be a Cohen-Macaulay local domain. In this paper we study the cone of Cohen-Macaulay modules inside the Grothendieck group of finitely generated $R$-modules modulo numerical equivalences, introduced in \cite{CK}. We prove a result about the boundary of this cone for Cohen-Macaulay domain admitting de Jong's alterations, and use it to derive some corollaries on finiteness of isomorphism classes of maximal Cohen-Macaulay ideals. Finally, we explicitly compute the Cohen-Macaulay cone for certain isolated hypersurface singularities defined by $ξη- f(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$.
Considering the Grothendieck group modulo numerical equivalence, we obtain the finitely generated lattice $\overline{G_0(R)}$ for a Noetherian local ring $R$. Let $C_{CM}(R)$ be the cone in $\overline{G_0(R)}_{\Bbb R}$ spanned by cycles of maximal Cohen-Macaulay $R$-modules. We shall define the fundamental class $\overline{μ_R}$ of $R$ in $\overline{G_0(R)}_{\Bbb R}$, which is the limit of the Frobenius direct images (divided by their rank) $[{}^e R]/p^{de}$ in the case ${ch}(R) = p > 0$. The homological conjectures are deeply related to the problems whether $\overline{μ_R}$ is in the Cohen-Macaulay cone $C_{CM}(R)$ or the strictly nef cone $SN(R)$ defined below. In this paper, we shall prove that $\overline{μ_R}$ is in $C_{CM}(R)$ in the case where $R$ is FFRT or F-rational.
The aim of this manuscript is to discuss the Hilbert-Kunz functions over an excellent local ring regular in codimension one. We study the shape of the Hilbert-Kunz functions of modules and discuss the properties of the coefficient of the second highest term in the function. Our results extend Huneke, McDermott and Monsky's result (Math. Res. Lett. 11 (2004), no. 4, 539-546) about the shape of the Hilbert-Kunz functions, and a theorem of the second author (J. Algebra 304 (2006), no. 1, 487-499) for rings with weaker conditions. In this paper, for a Cohen-Macaulay ring, we also explores an equivalence condition under which the second coefficient vanishes whenever the Hilbert-Kunz function of the ring is considered with respect to an ideal primary to the maximal ideal and of finite projective dimension. We introduce an additive error of the Hilbert-Kunz functions of modules on a short exact sequence and give an estimate of such error.
Let $(A,\m)$ be a local hypersurface with isolated singularity. We show that Hochster's theta pairing vanishes on elements that are {numerically equivalent to zero} in the Grothendieck group of $A$ under the mild assumption that $\spec A$ admits a resolution of singularity. We also prove that when $\dim A =3$, the Hochster's theta pairing is positive semidefinite. These results combine to show that the counter-example of Dutta-Hochster-McLaughlin to general vanishing of Serre's intersection multiplicity exists for any three dimensional isolated hypersurface singularity that is not a UFD and has a desingularization. Our method involves showing that theta gives a bivariant class for the morphism $\spec A/\m \to \spec A$. It also follows that if $A$ is three dimensional isolated hypersurface singularity that has a desingularization, the divisor class group of $A$ is finitely generated torsion-free.
We shall describe the divisor class group and the graded canonical module of the multi-section ring for a normal projective variety X and Weil divisors D_1,..., D_s on X under a mild condition. In the proof, we use the theory of Krull domain and the equivariant twisted inverse functor due to Hashimoto.
Gorenstein isolated quotient singularities of odd prime dimension are cyclic. In the case where the dimension is bigger than 1 and is not an odd prime number, then there exist Gorenstein isolated non-cyclic quotient singularities.
In this paper, we shall describe the graded canonical module of a Noetherian multi-section ring of a normal projective variety. In particular, in the case of the Cox ring, we prove that the graded canonical module is a graded free module of rank one with the shift of degree $K_X$. We shall give two kinds of proofs. The first one utilizes the equivariant twisted inverse functor developed by the first author. The second proof is down-to-earth, that avoids the twisted inverse functor.
In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of the regularity of symbolic powers of ideals of points in a weighted projective plane. By a result of Cutkosky, Ein and Lazarsfeld, regularity of such powers behaves asymptotically like a linear function. We study the difference between regularity of such powers and this linear function. Under some conditions, we prove that this difference is bounded, or eventually periodic. As a corollary we show that, if there exists a negative curve, then the regularity of symbolic powers of a monomial space curve is eventually a periodic linear function. We give a criterion for the validity of Nagata's conjecture in terms of the lack of existence of negative curves.
In this paper, we shall study finite generation of symbolic Rees rings of the defining ideal of the space monomial curves $(t^a, t^b, t^c)$ for pairwise coprime integers $a$, $b$, $c$ such that $(a,b,c) \neq (1,1,1)$. If such a ring is not finitely generated over a base field, then it is a counterexample to the Hilbert's fourteenth problem. Finite generation of such rings is deeply related to existence of negative curves on certain normal projective surfaces. We study a sufficient condition (Definition 3.6) for existence of a negative curve. Using it, we prove that, in the case of $(a+b+c)^2 > abc$, a negative curve exists. Using a computer, we shall show that there exist examples in which this sufficient condition is not satisfied.
