This is an expository account based mainly on an article by Jack Ohm titled “Space curves as ideal-theoretic intersections”. It also gives a proof of the fact that smooth space curves can be realized as set-theoretic complete intersections. The penultimate section proves the theorem of Cowsik and Nori : Curves in affine n-space of characteristic p are set-theoretic complete intersection.

Let A be a regular ring of dimension d ( d ≥ 3 ) containing an infinite field k. Let n be an integer such that 2n ≥ d+3. Let I be an ideal in A of height n and P be a projective Amodule of rank n. Suppose P ⊕A ≈ A and there is a surjection α: P → I. It is proved in this note that I is a set theoretic complete intersection ideal. As a consequence, a smooth curve in a smooth affine C-algebra with...

Let ∆ be a simplicial complex and χ be an s-coloring of ∆. Biermann and Van Tuyl have introduced the simplicial complex ∆χ. As a corollary of Theorems 5 and 7 in their 2013 article, we obtain that the Stanley–Reisner ring of ∆χ over a field is Cohen–Macaulay. In this note, we generalize this corollary by proving that the Stanley–Reisner ideal of ∆χ over a field is set-theoretic complete interse...

In this paper, we study the Hankel edge ideals of graphs. We determine minimal prime ideal labeled Hamiltonian and semi-Hamiltonian graphs, investigate radicality, being a complete intersection, almost intersection set-theoretic for such also consider trees with natural labeling, called rooted labeling. characterize whose is moreover, those initial respect to reverse lexicographic order satisfi...

let $r$ be a commutative ring and let $m$ be an $r$-module. we define the small intersection graph $g(m)$ of $m$ with all non-small proper submodules of $m$ as vertices and two distinct vertices $n, k$ are adjacent if and only if $ncap k$ is a non-small submodule of $m$. in this article, we investigate the interplay between the graph-theoretic properties of $g(m)$ and algebraic properties of $m...

We show that the Stanley-Reisner ideal of the one-dimensional simplicial complex whose diagram is an n-gon is always a set-theoretic complete intersection in any positive characteristic.
