Estudaremos seu comportamento em diversos aspectos, tais como anulamento e não anulamento, artinianissidade, finitude, relações comadualidade de Matlis,entre outros. Para isto, uilizaremos o conceito da cohomologia local definida por um par de ideais, introduzido em [50]. Estudaremos também o anel de endomorfismo da cohomologia local definida por um par de ideais e analisaremos quando a dualidadede Matlis de certos módulos de cohomologia local definidos por um par de ideais são módulos Cohen-Macaulay. / In this work we will introduce two generalizations of the concept of formal local cohomology, called formal local cohomology and Cech formal local cohomolgy, both defined by a pair of ideals.

<div>In this thesis, we study invariants of graded modules over polynomial rings. In particular, we find bounds on the Hilbert functions and graded Betti numbers of certain modules. This area of research has been widely studied, and we discuss several well-known theorems and conjectures related to these problems. Our main results extend some known theorems from the case of homogeneous ideals of polynomial rings R to that of graded R-modules. In Chapters 2 & 3, we discuss preliminary material needed for the following chapters. This includes monomial orders for modules, Hilbert functions, graded Betti numbers, and generic initial modules.</div><div> </div><div> In Chapter 4, we discuss x_n-stability of submodules M of free R-modules F, and use this stability to examine properties of lexsegment modules. Using these tools, we prove our first main result: a general hypersurface restriction theorem for modules. This theorem states that, when restricting to a general hypersurface of degree j, the Hilbert series of M is bounded above by that of M^{lex}+x_n^jF. In Chapter 5, we discuss Hilbert series of local cohomology modules. As a consequence of our general hypersurface restriction theorem, we give a bound on the Hilbert series of H^i_m(F/M). In particular, we show that the Hilbert series of local cohomology modules of a quotient of a free module does not decrease when the module is replaced by a quotient by the lexicographic module M^{lex}.</div><div> </div><div> The content of Chapter 6 is based on joint work with Gabriel Sosa. The main theorem is an extension of a result of Caviglia and Sbarra to polynomial rings with base field of any characteristic. Given a homogeneous ideal containing both a piecewise lex ideal and an ideal generated by powers of the variables, we find a lex ideal with the following property: the ideal in the polynomial ring generated by the piecewise lex ideal, the ideal of powers, and the lex ideal has the same Hilbert function and Betti numbers at least as large as those of the original ideal. This bound on the Betti numbers is sharp, and is a closer bound than what was previously known in this setting.</div>

<p>This thesis is focused on determinantal rings in 2 different contexts. In Chapter 3 the homological properties of powers of determinantal ideals are studied. In particular the focus is on local cohomology of determinantal thickenings and we explicitly describe the $R$-module structure of some of these local cohomology modules. In Chapter 4 we introduce \textit{generalized diagonal} matrices, a class of sparse matrices which contain diagonal and upper triangular matrices. We study the ideals of minors of such matrices and describe their properties such as height, multiplicity, and Cohen-Macaulayness. </p>

<p>A Hodge module on an algebraic variety may be viewed as a variation of Hodge structure  with singularities. Given an irreducible variety $X$, for any polarized variation of Hodge structure $\bold{H}$ on a smooth open subvariety $U\subset X,$ there exists a unique Hodge module $\cM \in HM_{X}(X)$ that extends $\bH.$ Conversely, for any Hodge module $\cM \in HM_{X}(X)$ with strict support on $X,$ there exists a polarized variation of Hodge structure $\bH$ on a smooth open subset $U \subset X$ such that $\cM \vert _{V} \cong \bH.$ In this thesis, we first study the singularities of a Hodge module $\cM \in HM_{X}(X)$ by using Morihiko Saito's theory of $S$-sheaves and duality. Then using local cohomology and the theory of mixed Hodge modules, we study the Hodge structure of $H^{i}(X, DR(\cM))$  when $X$ is a projective variety. Finally, we consider a variation of Hodge structure $\bH$ on $U$ as a Hodge module $\cN \in HM(U)$ on $U,$ and study the local cohomology of the complex $Gr^{F}_{p}DR(j_{!}\cN) \in D^{b}_{coh}(\cO_{X}),$ where $j: U \hookrightarrow X$ is the natural map.</p>

Toric face rings are a generalization of Stanley-Reisner rings and affine monoid rings. New problems and results are obtained by a systematic study of toric face rings, shedding new lights to the understanding of Stanley-Reisner rings and affine monoid rings. We study algebra retracts of Stanley-Reisner rings, in particular, classify all the $\mathbb{Z}$-graded algebra retracts. We consider the Koszul property of toric face rings via Betti numbers and properties of the defining ideal. The last chapter is devoted to local cohomology of seminormal toric face rings and applications to singularities of toric face rings in positive characteristics.

<p dir="ltr">This thesis consists of four parts that study different topics in commutative algebra. The main results of the first part of the dissertation are in Chapter 3, which is based on the author’s paper [1]. Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring graded by a torsionfree abelian group G. We introduce the notion of G-graded irreducibility and prove that G-graded irreducibility is equivalent to irreducibility in the usual sense. This is a generalization of a result by Chen and Kim in the Z-graded case. We also discuss the concept of the index of reducibility and give an inequality for the indices of reducibility between any radical non-graded ideal and its largest graded subideal. The second topic is developed in Chapter 4 which is based on the author’s paper [2]. In this chapter, we prove that if P is a prime ideal of inside a polynomial ring S with dim S/P = r, and adjoining s general linear forms to the prime ideal changes the (r − s)-th Hilbert coefficient of the quotient ring by 1 and doesn’t change the 0th to (r − s − 1)-th Hilbert coefficients where s ≤ r, then the depth of S/P is n − s − 1. This criterion also tells us about possible restrictions on the generic initial ideal of a prime ideal inside a polynomial ring. The third part of the thesis is Chapter 5 which is based on the author’s paper [3]. Let R be a polynomial ring over a field. We introduce the concept of sequentially almost Cohen-Macaulay modules, describe the extremal rays of the cone of local cohomology tables of finitely generated graded R-modules which are sequentially almost Cohen-Macaulay, and also describe some cases when the local cohomology table of a module of dimension 3 has a nontrivial decomposition. The last part is Chapter 6 which is based on the author’s paper [4]. We introduce the notion of strongly Lech-independent ideals as a generalization of Lech-independent ideals defined by Lech and Hanes, and use this notion to derive inequalities on multiplicities of ideals. In particular, we prove a new case of Lech’s conjecture, namely, if (R, m) → (S, n) is a flat local extension of local rings with dim R = dim S, the completion of S is the completion of a standard graded ring over a field k with respect to the homogeneous maximal ideal, and the completion of mS is the completion of a homogeneous ideal, then e(R) ≤ e(S).</p>
