Non-normal affine monoids
We give a geometric description of the set of holes in a non-normal affine
monoid . The set of holes turns out to be related to the non-trivial graded
components of the local cohomology of . From this, we see how various
properties of like local normality and Serre's conditions and
are encoded in the geometry of the holes. A combinatorial upper bound
for the depth the monoid algebra is obtained and some cases where
equality holds are identified. We apply this results to seminormal affine
monoids.Comment: 18 pages, 3 figures. Simplified proof of the main result, shortened.

Linear maps in minimal free resolutions of Stanley-Reisner rings
In this short note we give an elementary description of the linear part of
the minimal free resolution of a Stanley-Reisner ring of a simplicial complex
. Indeed, the differentials in the linear part are simply a compilation
of restriction maps in the simplicial cohomology of induced subcomplexes of
.
Along the way, we also show that if a monomial ideal has at least one
generator of degree , then the linear strand of its minimal free resolution
can be written using only coefficients.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure. An error was found in the earlier version,
