1. Compatible ideals in ℚ-Gorenstein rings

   https://doi.org/10.1090/proc/16331  

   Polstra, Thomas; Schwede, Karl (October 2023, Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society)

   Suppose $R$is a $F$-finite and $F$-pure $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein local ring of prime characteristic $p>0$. We show that an ideal $I\subseteq <\#comment/>R$is uniformly compatible ideal (with all $p^{-<\#comment/>e}$-linear maps) if and only if exists a module finite ring map $R\to <\#comment/>S$such that the ideal $I$is the sum of images of all $R$-linear maps $S\to <\#comment/>R$. In other words, the set of uniformly compatible ideals is exactly the set of trace ideals of finite ring maps.

2. A modular construction of unramified 𝑝-extensions of ℚ(ℕ^{1/𝕡})

   https://doi.org/10.1090/bproc/141  

   Lang, Jaclyn; Wake, Preston (October 2022, Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, Series B)

   We show that for primes $N,p\ge <\#comment/>5$with $N\equiv <\#comment/>-<\#comment/>1modp$, the class number of $\mathbb{Q}\left(N^{1/p}\right)$is divisible by $p$. Our methods are via congruences between Eisenstein series and cusp forms. In particular, we show that when $N\equiv <\#comment/>-<\#comment/>1modp$, there is always a cusp form of weight $2$and level ${\mathrm{\Gamma <\#comment/>}}_0\left(N^2\right)$whose $\mathrm{\ell <\#comment/>}$th Fourier coefficient is congruent to $\mathrm{\ell <\#comment/>}+1$modulo a prime above $p$, for all primes $\mathrm{\ell <\#comment/>}$. We use the Galois representation of such a cusp form to explicitly construct an unramified degree- $p$extension of $\mathbb{Q}\left(N^{1/p}\right)$.

3. Residual intersections and linear powers

   https://doi.org/10.1090/btran/127  

   Eisenbud, David; Huneke, Craig; Ulrich, Bernd (October 2023, Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, Series B)

   If $I$is an ideal in a Gorenstein ring $S$, and $S/I$is Cohen-Macaulay, then the same is true for any linked ideal $I^{\prime }$; but such statements hold for residual intersections of higher codimension only under restrictive hypotheses, not satisfied even by ideals as simple as the ideal $L_n$of minors of a generic $2\times <\#comment/>n$matrix when $n>3$. In this paper we initiate the study of a different sort of Cohen-Macaulay property that holds for certain general residual intersections of the maximal (interesting) codimension, one less than the analytic spread of $I$. For example, suppose that $K$is the residual intersection of $L_n$by $2n-<\#comment/>4$general quadratic forms in $L_n$. In this situation we analyze $S/K$and show that $I^{n-<\#comment/>3}\left(S/K\right)$is a self-dual maximal Cohen-Macaulay $S/K$-module with linear free resolution over $S$. The technical heart of the paper is a result about ideals of analytic spread 1 whose high powers are linearly presented.

4. Simple closed curves in stable covers of surfaces

   https://doi.org/10.1090/tran/8940  

   Salter, Nick (May 2023, Transactions of the American Mathematical Society)

   Let $f:X\to <\#comment/>Y$be a regular covering of a surface $Y$of finite type with nonempty boundary, with finitely-generated (possibly infinite) deck group $G$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for an integral homology class on $X$to admit a representative as a connected component of the preimage of a nonseparating simple closed curve on $Y$, possibly after passing to a “stabilization”, i.e. a $G$-equivariant embedding of covering spaces $X\hookrightarrow <\#comment/>X^{+}$.

5. Equivariant prime ideals for infinite dimensional supergroups

   https://doi.org/10.1090/tran/9202  

   Laudone, Robert; Snowden, Andrew (September 2024, Transactions of the American Mathematical Society)

   Let $A$be a commutative algebra equipped with an action of a group $G$. The so-called $G$-primes of $A$are the equivariant analogs of prime ideals, and of central importance in equivariant commutative algebra. When $G$is an infinite dimensional group, these ideals can be very subtle: for instance, distinct $G$-primes can have the same radical. In previous work, the second author showed that if $G={\mathbf{G}\mathbf{L}}_{\mathrm{\infty }}$and $A$is a polynomial representation, then these pathologies disappear when $G$is replaced with the supergroup ${\mathbf{G}\mathbf{L}}_{\mathrm{\infty }|\mathrm{\infty }}$and $A$with a corresponding algebra; this leads to a geometric description of $G$-primes of $A$. In the present paper, we construct an abstract framework around this result, and apply the framework to prove analogous results for other (super)groups. We give some applications to the isomeric determinantal ideals (commonly known as “queer determinantal ideals”).
