In this article, we delve into the properties possessed by algebras, which we have termed seeds, that map to big Cohen-Macaulay algebras. We will show that over a complete local domain of positive characteristic any two big Cohen-Macaulay algebras map to a common big Cohen-Macaulay algebra. We will also strengthen Hochster and Huneke’s “weakly functorial” existence result for big Cohen-Macaulay...

The matching complex $M(G)$ of a graph G is the set all matchings in G. A Buchsbaum simplicial generalization both homology manifold and Cohen–Macaulay complex. We give complete characterization graphs for which two-dimensional As an intermediate step, we determine have complexes that are themselves connected graphs.

Björner and Wachs generalized the definition of shellability by dropping the assumption of purity; they also introduced the h-triangle, a doubly-indexed generalization of the h-vector which is combinatorially significant for nonpure shellable complexes. Stanley subsequently defined a nonpure simplicial complex to be sequentially Cohen-Macaulay if it satisfies algebraic conditions that generaliz...

A cut ideal of a graph records the relations among the cuts of the graph. These toric ideals have been introduced by Sturmfels and Sullivant who also posed the problem of relating their properties to the combinatorial structure of the graph. We study the cut ideals of the family of ring graphs, which includes trees and cycles. We show that they have quadratic Gröbner bases and that their coordi...

In this paper, we have studied the vanishing and relative Cohen-Macaulyness of the functor for relative Cohen-Macauly filtered modules with respect to the ideal  (RCMF). We have shown that the for relative Cohen-Macaulay modules holds for any relative Cohen-Macauly module with respect to  with ........

In this paper, we discuss some necessary and sufficient conditions for a curve to be arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay, in terms of its general hyperplane section. We obtain a characterization of the degree matrices that can occur for points in the plane that are the general plane section of a non arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay curve of P. We prove that almost all the degree matrices with positive s...
