Combinatorial commutative algebra is an active area of research with thriving connections to other fields of pure and applied mathematics. This book provides a self-contained introduction to the subject, with an emphasis on combinatorial techniques for multigraded polynomial rings, semigroup algebras, and determinantal rings. The eighteen chapters cover a broad spectrum of topics, ranging from homological invariants of monomial ideals and their polyhedral resolutions, to hands-on tools for studying algebraic varieties with group actions, such as toric varieties, flag varieties, quiver loci, and Hilbert schemes. Over 100 figures, 250 exercises, and pointers to the literature make this book appealing to both graduate students and researchers.
There is a canonical spectral sequence associated to any filtration of simplicial complexes. Algebraically shifting a finite filtration of simplicial complexes produces a new filtration of shifted complexes.
We prove that certain sums of the dimensions of the limit terms of the spectral sequence of a filtration weakly decrease by algebraically shifting the filtration. A key step is the combinatorial interpretation of the dimensions of the limit terms of the spectral sequence of a filtration consisting of near-cones.
Algebraic shifting is a correspondence which associates to a simplicial complex $K$ another simplicial complex $\Delta (K)$ of a special type. In fact, there are two main variants based on symmetric algebra and exterior algebra, respectively. The construction is algebraic and is closely related to "Grbner bases" and specifically to "generic initial ideals" in commutative algebra.
Algebraic shifting also preserves the property that $K$ is Cohen-Macaulay. At the forefront of our knowledge in this direction is a far-reaching extension of this fact achieved by Bayer, Charalambous and Popescu (symmetric shifting) and Aramova and Herzog (exterior shifting). In a different context extensions to Buchsbaum complexes have been made by Schenzel and by Novik (available only for symmetric shifting). These results apply to triangulations of manifolds and have interesting combinatorial consequences. Among the challenges which remain are: To understand algebraic shifting of simplicial spheres and simplicial manifolds, to find relations between shifting and embeddability and to identify intersection homology groups via algebraic shifting.
We will also describe the relation of algebraic shifting to framework rigidity, the connection with the original notion of "combinatorial shifting" which goes back to Erds, Ko and Rado and some possible applications to extremal combinatorics.
This volume presents a collection of articles devoted to representations of algebras and related topics. Distinguished experts in this field presented their work at the International Conference on Representations of Algebras in 2020. The book reflects recent trends in the representation theory of algebras and its interactions with other central branches of mathematics, including combinatorics, commutative algebra, algebraic geometry, topology, data analysis, Lie algebras, quantum groups, homological algebra, and theoretical physics. There are thirteen independent articles, written by leading experts in the field. Most are expository survey papers, but some are also original research contributions. This collection is addressed to researchers and graduate students in algebra as well as to a broader mathematical audience. It contains open problems and new perspectives for research in the field.
Scope: Algebraic Combinatorics is dedicated to publishing high-quality papers in which algebra and combinatorics interact in interesting ways. There are no limitations on the kind of algebra or combinatorics: the algebra involved could be commutative algebra, group theory, representation theory, algebraic geometry, linear algebra, Galois theory, associative or Lie algebras, among other possibilities. The combinatorics could be enumerative, coding theory, root systems, design theory, graph theory, incidence geometry or other topics. The key requirement is not a particular subject matter, but rather the active interplay between combinatorics and algebra.
I am an emeritus professor of physics at California State University, San Bernardino. My research interests currently lie in the field of combinatorics. I am particularly interested in algebraic combinatorics, extremal combinatorics, graph theory, hyperplane arrangements and reflection groups, combinatorial commutative algebra, and enumerative combinatorics. I have done work in general relativity and quantum gravity.
My book Manifolds, Tensors, and Forms: An Introduction for Mathematicians and Physicists was published by Cambridge University Press.

I have started learning homological algebra recently. It looks like the most abstract subject I've seen so far. The most concrete one is without doubts is combinatorics. So I have very specific reference request -
This isn't exactly an application of bare homological algebra, but it does involve cohomology: the hard Lefschetz theorem in algebraic geometry implies that the sequences of even and odd Betti numbers of a smooth projective variety over $\mathbbC$ are both unimodal, meaning that they first increase and then decrease. A simple example is a product of $n$ copies of the complex projective line $\mathbbCP^1$; here the even Betti numbers are binomial coefficients $n \choose k$.
A more interesting example is the Grassmannian $\textGr_d(\mathbbC^n)$, whose even Betti numbers count the number of partitions fitting into a $d \times (n-d)$ box. No purely combinatorial proof that this sequence is unimodal is known (edit: it seems my information is out of date! See this survey by Zeilberger of the result, which is due to O'Hara). See this survey by Stanley for more.
In this paper Power series representing Posets the problem of counting in how many ways can you label a Poset (while preserving the order) is solved for a family of Posets called Wixrika Posets (they look like Wixrika collars). The main results are proven using homological algebra ideas. As a consequence several combinatorial identities were discovered (we checked on books of identities and we coulnd't find them).
I work on homological questions about structure resulting from a group action. When a group acts on an algebraic variety, the combinatorics of the orbit structure and induced grading on the structure sheaf shed light on the geometry of the variety, by providing more tools for computing important algebro-geometric invariants.
This mini-conference is hosted jointly by Iowa State, Minnesota, and Wisconsin and highlights work in commutative algebra and related fields like algebraic geometry, number theory, combinatorics, and more.
I am the faculty advisor for this active, inspiring group of students! This AWM chapter aims to encourage women and non-binary folks to study and to have active careers in the mathematical sciences, and to promote equal opportunity and the equitable treatment of gender minorities in the mathematical sciences at the University of Minnesota.
I am the leader for this regional mentor group. The EDGE program is designed to strengthen the ability of women and minority students to successfully complete graduate programs in the mathematical sciences.
May not music be described as the mathematics of the sense, mathematics as music of the reason? The musician feels mathematics, the mathematician thinks music: music the dream, mathematics the working life.
A common theme in my research is the understanding of numerical or algebraic data via some underlying combinatorial structure, and I find it useful to draw ideas from other fields such as discrete geometry, algebraic geometry, algebraic topology, and homological algebra.
In 2023, my team introduced algebraic machine reasoning, a fundamentally new paradigm for machine reasoning, beyond numerical computation and search-based methods, that effectively reduces the difficult process of novel problem-solving to routine algebraic computation (e.g. computing primary decompositions). We established the first ever connection between machine reasoning and commutative algebra (which was called "ideal theory" a very long time ago). In particular, we define concepts as ideals, and treat ideals as "actual objects of study", without needing to solve systems of polynomial equations. Reasoning is thus realized as solving non-numerical computational problems involving such ideals. (See this Youtube video for a brief overview of how we used algebraic machine reasoning to surpass human-level performance on the reasoning task of solving visual-based IQ test questions known as Raven's progressive matrices.)
