Given a homogeneous ideal I⊆k[x0,…,xn], the Containment problem studies the relation between symbolic and regular powers of I, that is, it asks for which pairs m,r∈N, I(m)⊆Ir holds. In the last years, several conjectures have been posed on this problem, creating an active area of current interests and ongoing investigations. In this paper, we investigated the Stable Harbourne Conjecture and the Stable Harbourne–Huneke Conjecture, and we show that they hold for the defining ideal of a Complement of a Steiner configuration of points in Pkn. We can also show that the ideal of a Complement of a Steiner Configuration of points has expected resurgence, that is, its resurgence is strictly less than its big height, and it also satisfies Chudnovsky and Demailly’s Conjectures. Moreover, given a hypergraph H, we also study the relation between its colourability and the failure of the containment problem for the cover ideal associated to H. We apply these results in the case that H is a Steiner System.

In this paper, we recall the object sectional matrix which encodes the Hilbert functions of successive hyperplane sections of a homogeneous ideal. We translate and/or reprove recent results in this language. Moreover, some new results are shown about their maximal growth, in particular, a new generalization of Gotzmann’s Persistence Theorem, the presence of a GCD for a truncation of the ideal, and applications to saturated ideals.

Our setting for this paper is projective 3-space over an algebraically closed field K. By a curve C ⊂ is meant a 1-dimensional, equidimensional projective algebraic set, which is locally Cohen-Macaulay. Let be the Hartshorne-Rao module of finite length (cf. [R]). Here Z is the set of integers and ℐc the ideal sheaf of C. In [GMV] it is shown that , where is the homogeneous ideal of C, is the first local cohomology module of the R-module M with respect to . Thus there exists a smallest nonnegative integer k ∊ N such that , (see also the discussion on the 1-st local cohomology module in [GW]). Also in [GMV] it is shown that k = 0 if and only if C is arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay and C is arithmetically Buchsbaum if and only if k ≤ 1. We therefore have the following natural definition.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to make a connection between design theory and algebraic geometry/commutative algebra. In particular, given any Steiner System S(t, n, v) we associate two ideals, in a suitable polynomial ring, defining a Steiner configuration of points and its Complement. We focus on the latter, studying its homological invariants, such as Hilbert Function and Betti numbers. We also study symbolic and regular powers associated to the ideal defining a Complement of a Steiner configuration of points, finding its Waldschmidt constant, regularity, bounds on its resurgence and asymptotic resurgence. We also compute the parameters of linear codes associated to any Steiner configuration of points and its Complement.

Abstract Let Zn = p0 + p1 + ··· + pn be a configuration of points in ℙ2, where all points pi except p0 lie on a line, and let I(Zn) be its corresponding homogeneous ideal in 𝕂 [ℙ2]. The resurgence and the Waldschmidt constant of I(Zn) in [5] have been computed. In this note, we compute these two invariants for the defining ideal of a fat point subscheme Zn,c = cp0 + p1 +··· + pn, i.e. the point p0 is considered with multiplicity c. Our strategy is similar to [5].

This paper treats the local study of singularities by means of their tangent cones, more specifically the study of graded rings associated to an ideal of a local ring. We recall some basic facts: let (R,) be a local ring,I, Jideals ofR, such thatJ⊆I; thenGR/J(I/J), the graded ring associated toI/J, is canonically isomorphic to the quotient ofGR(I) modulo a homogeneous ideal, which is calledJ*, and which is generated by the so-called ‘initial forms’ of the elements ofJ. Let us consider the following example: Letkbe a field,R=k[X, Y, Z](x, y, Z),I= (X, Y, Z)R, Jthe prime ideal generated byfl,f2wheref1=Y3−Z2,f2=YZ−X4. Thenand it is easily seen thatJ*properly contains the ideal generated by the initial formsf*1f*2off1,f2; namelyf*1= −Z2,f*2=YZand (Yf1+Zf2)* =Y4∉ (−Z2,YZ).

The technique of labeling of macromolecules with ferritin conjugated antibody has been successfully used for extracellular antigen by means of staining the specimen with conjugate prior to fixation and embedding. However, the ideal method to determine the location of intracellular antigen would be to do the antigen-antibody reaction in thin sections. This technique contains inherent problems such as the destruction of antigenic determinants during fixation or embedding and the non-specific attachment of conjugate to the embedding media. Certain embedding media such as polyampholytes (2) or cross-linked bovine serum albumin (3) have been introduced to overcome some of these problems.

The reconstruction of a three-dimensional image of a specimen from a set of electron micrographs reduces, under certain assumptions about the imaging process in the microscope, to the mathematical problem of reconstructing a density distribution from a set of its plane projections.In the absence of noise we can formulate a purely geometrical criterion, which, for a general object, fixes the resolution attainable from a given finite number of views in terms of the size of the object. For simplicity we take the ideal case of projections collected by a series of m equally spaced tilts about a single axis.

Fifteen years ago, Hall described clearly the advantages of the thin section approach to biological x-ray microanalysis, and described clearly the ratio method for quantitive analysis in such preparations. In this now classic paper, he also made it clear that the ideal method of sample preparation would involve only freezing and sectioning at low temperature. Subsequently, Hall and his coworkers, as well as others, have applied themselves to the task of direct x-ray microanalysis of frozen sections. To achieve this goal, different methodological approachs have been developed as different groups sought solutions to a common group of technical problems. This report describes some of these problems and indicates the specific approaches and procedures developed by our group in order to overcome them. We acknowledge that the techniques evolved by our group are quite different from earlier approaches to cryomicrotomy and sample handling, hence the title of our paper. However, such departures from tradition have been based upon our attempt to apply basic physical principles to the processes involved. We feel we have demonstrated that such a break with tradition has valuable consequences.

Polytypism has been studied for a number of years and a wide variety of stacking sequences has been detected and analysed. SiC is the prototype material in this respect; see e.g. Electron microscopy under high resolution conditions when combined with x-ray measurements is a very powerful technique to elucidate the correct stacking sequence or to study polytype transformations and deviations from the ideal stacking sequence.

Two main problems in high resolution electron microscopy are first, the existence of gaps in the transfer function, and then the difficulty to find complex amplitude of the diffracted wawe from registered intensity. The solution of this second problem is in most cases only intended by the realization of several micrographs in different conditions (defocusing distance, illuminating angle, complementary objective apertures…) which can lead to severe problems of contamination or radiation damage for certain specimens.Fraunhofer holography can in principle solve both problems stated above (1,2). The microscope objective is strongly defocused (far-field region) so that the two diffracted beams do not interfere. The ideal transfer function after reconstruction is then unity and the twin image do not overlap on the reconstructed one.We show some applications of the method and results of preliminary tests.Possible application to the study of cavitiesSmall voids (or gas-filled bubbles) created by irradiation in crystalline materials can be observed near the Scherzer focus, but it is then difficult to extract other informations than the approximated size.
