Hodge algebra

Last updated

In mathematics, a Hodge algebra or algebra with straightening law is a commutative algebra that is a free module over some ring R, together with a given basis similar to the basis of standard monomials of the coordinate ring of a Grassmannian. Hodge algebras were introduced by CorradoDe Concini , David Eisenbud ,and Claudio Procesi  ( 1982 ), who named them after W. V. D. Hodge.

Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics which classically studies zeros of multivariate polynomials. Modern algebraic geometry is based on the use of abstract algebraic techniques, mainly from commutative algebra, for solving geometrical problems about these sets of zeros.

In commutative algebra, a Gorenstein local ring is a commutative Noetherian local ring R with finite injective dimension as an R-module. There are many equivalent conditions, some of them listed below, often saying that a Gorenstein ring is self-dual in some sense.

Combinatorial commutative algebra is a relatively new, rapidly developing mathematical discipline. As the name implies, it lies at the intersection of two more established fields, commutative algebra and combinatorics, and frequently uses methods of one to address problems arising in the other. Less obviously, polyhedral geometry plays a significant role.

In abstract algebra, a multiplicatively closed set is a subset S of a ring R such that the following two conditions hold:

In algebraic geometry, the homogeneous coordinate ringR of an algebraic variety V given as a subvariety of projective space of a given dimension N is by definition the quotient ring

In algebra, the Amitsur–Levitzki theorem states that the algebra of n × n matrices over a commutative ring satisfies a certain identity of degree 2n. It was proved by Amitsur and Levitsky (1950). In particular matrix rings are polynomial identity rings such that the smallest identity they satisfy has degree exactly 2n.

In mathematics, the Hilbert–Burch theorem describes the structure of some free resolutions of a quotient of a local or graded ring in the case that the quotient has projective dimension 2. Hilbert (1890) proved a version of this theorem for polynomial rings, and Burch (1968, p. 944) proved a more general version. Several other authors later rediscovered and published variations of this theorem. Eisenbud gives a statement and proof.

In algebraic group theory, a wonderful compactification of a variety acted on by an algebraic group is a -equivariant compactification such that the closure of each orbit is smooth. Corrado de Concini and Claudio Procesi (1983) constructed a wonderful compactification of any symmetric variety given by a quotient of an algebraic group by the subgroup fixed by some involution of over the complex numbers, sometimes called the De Concini–Procesi compactification, and Elisabetta Strickland (1987) generalized this construction to arbitrary characteristic. In particular, by writing a group itself as a symmetric homogeneous space, , this gives a wonderful compactification of the group itself.

In algebra, the first and second fundamental theorems of invariant theory concern the generators and the relations of the ring of invariants in the ring of polynomial functions for classical groups. The theorems are among the most important results of invariant theory.

In invariant theory, a branch of algebra, given a group G, a covariant is a G-equivariant polynomial map between linear representations V, W of G. It is a generalization of a classical convariant, which is a homogeneous polynomial map from the space of binary m-forms to the space of binary p-forms that is -equivariant.
