Regularity of Tor for weakly stable ideals

It is proved that if $I$ and $J$ are weakly stable ideals in a polynomial ring $R=k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, with $k$ a field, then the regularity of $\text{Tor}^R_i(R/I,R/J)$ has the expected upper bound. We also give a bound for the regularity of $\text{Ext}_R^i(R/I,R)$ for $I$ a weakly stable ideal

Rainbow Free Colorings and Rainbow Numbers for x−y=z2x-y=z^2

An exact r-coloring of a set $S$ is a surjective function $c:S \rightarrow \{1, 2, \ldots,r\}$. A rainbow solution to an equation over $S$ is a solution such that all components are a different color. We prove that every 3-coloring of $\mathbb{N}$ with an upper density greater than $(4^s-1)/(3 \cdot 4^s)$ contains a rainbow solution to $x-y=z^k$. The rainbow number for an equation in the set $S$ is the smallest integer $r$ such that every exact $r$-coloring has a rainbow solution. We compute the rainbow numbers of $\mathbb{Z}_p$ for the equation $x-y=z^k$, where $p$ is prime and $k\geq 2$
