Ἀνὰ μέσον ἡδονῆςτε καὶ λύπης: Avidità umana e filantropia alla prova dell’oro in Diodoro
2021
In the Third book of his Bibliotheca, Diodorus Siculus includes an account of the Egyptian gold mines and describes the terrible living conditions of the slaves who are exploited to extract the metal. In this regard, Diodorus’ source is the historian Agatharchides of Cnidus, whose account is handed down by the Byzantine writer Photius. The comparison between the two texts allows scholars to highlight the different historical perspective of Diodorus, which privileges a worldview dominated by philanthropy and compassion for the most peripheral humanity. Further confirmation arises from the description of the Iberian mines (V 35-38), which Diodorus derives from the historian and philosopher Po…

Multiprojective spaces and the arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay property
2019
AbstractIn this paper we study the arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay (ACM) property for sets of points in multiprojective spaces. Most of what is known is for ℙ1× ℙ1and, more recently, in (ℙ1)r. In ℙ1× ℙ1the so called inclusion property characterises the ACM property. We extend the definition in any multiprojective space and we prove that the inclusion property implies the ACM property in ℙm× ℙn. In such an ambient space it is equivalent to the so-called (⋆)-property. Moreover, we start an investigation of the ACM property in ℙ1× ℙn. We give a new construction that highlights how different the behavior of the ACM property is in this setting.
Special arrangements of lines: Codimension 2 ACM varieties in P 1 × P 1 × P 1
2019
In this paper, we investigate special arrangements of lines in multiprojective spaces. In particular, we characterize codimension 2 arithmetically Cohen–Macaulay (ACM) varieties in [Formula: see text], called varieties of lines. We also describe their ACM property from a combinatorial algebra point of view.
On the arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay property for sets of points in multiprojective spaces
2017
We study the arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay (ACM) property for finite sets of points in multiprojective spaces, especially ( P 1 ) n (\mathbb P^1)^n . A combinatorial characterization, the ( ⋆ ) (\star ) -property, is known in P 1 × P 1 \mathbb P^1 \times \mathbb P^1 . We propose a combinatorial property, ( ⋆ s ) (\star _s) with 2 ≤ s ≤ n 2\leq s\leq n , that directly generalizes the ( ⋆ ) (\star ) -property to ( P 1 ) n (\mathbb P^1)^n for larger n n . We show that X X is ACM if and only if it satisfies the ( ⋆ n ) (\star _n) -property. The main tool for several of our results is an extension to the multiprojective setting of certain liaison methods in projective space.
Ideals generated by the inner 2-minors of collections of cells
2023
In 2012 Ayesha Asloob Qureshi connected collections of cells to Commutative Algebra assigning to every collection $\mathcal{P}$ of cells the ideal of inner 2-minors, denoted by $I_{\mathcal{P}}$, in the polynomial ring $S_{\mathcal{P}}=K[x_v:v\text{ is a vertex of }\mathcal{P}]$. Investigating the main algebraic properties of $K[\mathcal{P}]=S_{\mathcal{P}}/I_{\mathcal{P}}$ depending on the shape of $\mathcal{P}$ is the purpose of this research. Many problems are still open and they seem to be fascinating and exciting challenges.\\ In this thesis we prove several results about the primality of $I_{\mathcal{P}}$ and the algebraic properties of $K[\mathcal{P}]$ like Cohen-Macaulyness, normali…
The ACM property for unions of lines in P1×P2
2021
This paper examines the Arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay (ACM) property for certain codimension 2 varieties in P1×P2 called sets of lines in P1×P2 (not necessarily reduced). We discuss some obstacles to finding a general characterization. We then consider certain classes of such curves, and we address two questions. First, when are they themselves ACM? Second, in a non-ACM reduced configuration, is it possible to replace one component of a primary (prime) decomposition by a suitable power (i.e. to “fatten” one line) to make the resulting scheme ACM? Finally, for our classes of such curves, we characterize the locally Cohen-Macaulay property in combinatorial terms by introducing the definition …
The minimal free resolution of fat almost complete intersections in ℙ1 x ℙ1
2017
AbstractA current research theme is to compare symbolic powers of an ideal I with the regular powers of I. In this paper, we focus on the case where I = IX is an ideal deûning an almost complete intersection (ACI) set of points X in ℙ1 × ℙ1. In particular, we describe a minimal free bigraded resolution of a non-arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay (also non-homogeneous) set 𝒵 of fat points whose support is an ACI, generalizing an earlier result of Cooper et al. for homogeneous sets of triple points. We call 𝒵 a fat ACI.We also show that its symbolic and ordinary powers are equal, i.e, .
