Cohen-Macaulayness of monomial ideals and symbolic powers of Stanley-Reisner ideals
We present criteria for the Cohen-Macaulayness of a monomial ideal in terms
of its primary decomposition. These criteria allow us to use tools of graph
theory and of linear programming to study the Cohen-Macaulayness of monomial
ideals which are intersections of prime ideal powers. We can characterize the
Cohen-Macaulayness of the second symbolic power or of all symbolic powers of a
Stanley-Reisner ideal in terms of the simplicial complex. These
characterizations show that the simplicial complex must be very compact if some
symbolic power is Cohen-Macaulay. In particular, all symbolic powers are
Cohen-Macaulay if and only if the simplicial complex is a matroid complex. We
also prove that the Cohen-Macaulayness can pass from a symbolic power to
another symbolic powers in different ways.Comment: The published version of this paper contains a gap in the proofs of
Theorem 2.5 and Theorem 3.5. This version corrects the proofs with almost the
same arguments. Moreover, we have to modify the definition of tight complexes
in Theorem 2.5. These changes don't affect other things in the published
version. A corrigendum has been sent to the journa
The linear span of projections in AH algebras and for inclusions of C*-algebras
A -algebra is said to have the LP property if the linear span of
projections is dense in a given algebra. In the first part of this paper, we
show that an AH algebra has the LP
property if and only if every real-valued continuous function on the spectrum
of (as an element of via the non-unital embedding) belongs to the
closure of the linear span of projections in . As a consequence, a diagonal
AH-algebra has the LP property if it has small eigenvalue variation. The second
contribution of this paper is that for an inclusion of unital -algebras with a finite Watatani Index, if a faithful conditional expectation
has the Rokhlin property in the sense of Osaka and
Teruya, then has the LP property under the condition has the LP
property. As an application, let be a simple unital -algebra with the
LP property, a finite group and an action of onto
. If has the Rokhlin property in the sense of Izumi,
then the fixed point algebra and the crossed product algebra have the LP property. We also point out that there is a
symmetry on CAR algebra, which is constructed by Elliott, such that its fixed
point algebra does not have the LP property.Comment: 24 page
On three soft rectangle packing problems with guillotine constraints
We investigate how to partition a rectangular region of length and
height into rectangles of given areas using
two-stage guillotine cuts, so as to minimize either (i) the sum of the
perimeters, (ii) the largest perimeter, or (iii) the maximum aspect ratio of
the rectangles. These problems play an important role in the ongoing Vietnamese
land-allocation reform, as well as in the optimization of matrix multiplication
algorithms. We show that the first problem can be solved to optimality in
, while the two others are NP-hard. We propose mixed
integer programming (MIP) formulations and a binary search-based approach for
solving the NP-hard problems. Experimental analyses are conducted to compare
the solution approaches in terms of computational efficiency and solution
quality, for different objectives
