We introduce the class of principal symmetric ideals, which are ideals generated by the orbit of a single polynomial under the action of the symmetric group. Fixing the degree of the generating polynomial, this class of ideals is parametrized by points in a suitable projective space. We show that the minimal free resolution of a principal symmetric ideal is constant on a non-empty Zariski open subset of this projective space and we determine this resolution explicitly. Along the way, we study two classes of graded algebras which we term narrow and extremely narrow; both of which are instances of compressed artinian algebras.

Blowup algebras of determinantal ideals in prime characteristic
Abstract We study when blowup algebras are ‐split or strongly ‐regular. Our main focus is on algebras given by symbolic and ordinary powers of ideals of minors of a generic matrix, a symmetric matrix, and a Hankel matrix. We also study ideals of Pfaffians of a skew‐symmetric matrix. We use these results to obtain bounds on the degrees of the defining equations for these algebras. We also prove that the limit of the normalized regularity of the symbolic powers of these ideals exists and that their depth stabilizes. Finally, we show that, for determinantal ideals, there exists a monomial order for which taking initial ideals commutes with taking symbolic powers. To obtain these results, we develop the notion of ‐split filtrations and symbolic ‐split ideals.

Principal symmetric ideals were recently introduced by Harada et al. in [The minimal free resolution of a general principal symmetric ideal, preprint (2023), arXiv:2308.03141], where their homological properties are elucidated. They are ideals generated by the orbit of a single polynomial under permutations of variables in a polynomial ring. In this paper, we determine when a product of two principal symmetric ideals is principal symmetric and when the powers of a principal symmetric ideal are again principal symmetric ideals. We characterize the ideals that have the latter property as being generated by polynomials invariant up to a scalar multiple under permutation of variables. Recognizing principal symmetric ideals is an open question for the purpose of which we produce certain obstructions. We also demonstrate that the Hilbert functions of symmetric monomial ideals are not all given by symmetric monomial ideals, in contrast to the non-symmetric case.more » « less

Abstract We study a class of combinatorially defined polynomial ideals that are generated by minors of a generic symmetric matrix. Included within this class are the symmetric determinantal ideals, the symmetric ladder determinantal ideals, and the symmetric Schubert determinantal ideals of A. Fink, J. Rajchgot, and S. Sullivant. Each ideal in our class is a type C analog of a Kazhdan–Lusztig ideal of A. Woo and A. Yong; that is, it is the scheme‐theoretic defining ideal of the intersection of a type C Schubert variety with a type C opposite Schubert cell, appropriately coordinatized. The Kazhdan–Lusztig ideals that arise are exactly those where the opposite cell is 123‐avoiding. Our main results include Gröbner bases for these ideals, prime decompositions of their initial ideals (which are Stanley–Reisner ideals of subword complexes), and combinatorial formulas for their multigraded Hilbert series in terms of pipe dreams.more » « less

Abstract In a recent paper, we showed that a subspace of a real ‐triple is an ‐summand if and only if it is a ‐closed triple ideal. As a consequence, ‐ideals of real ‐triples, including real ‐algebras, real ‐algebras and real TROs, correspond to norm‐closed triple ideals. In this paper, we extend this result by identifying the ‐ideals in (possibly non‐self‐adjoint) real operator algebras and Jordan operator algebras. The argument for this is necessarily different. We also give simple characterizations of one‐sided ‐ideals in real operator algebras, and give some applications to that theory.more » « less

null (Ed.)This article extends the notion of a Frobenius power of an ideal in prime characteristic to allow arbitrary nonnegative real exponents. These generalized Frobenius powers are closely related to test ideals in prime characteristic, and multiplier ideals over fields of characteristic zero. For instance, like these well-known families of ideals, Frobenius powers also give rise to jumping exponents that we call critical Frobenius exponents. In fact, the Frobenius powers of a principal ideal coincide with its test ideals, but Frobenius powers appear to be a more refined measure of singularities than test ideals in general. Herein, we develop the theory of Frobenius powers in regular domains, and apply it to study singularities, especially those of generic hypersurfaces. These applications illustrate one way in which multiplier ideals behave more like Frobenius powers than like test ideals.more » « less
