This result, often aptly referred to as Serre splitting theorem, shrinks the class of projective R-modules one needs to study to projective R-modules of rank < dim(R) + 1. One may thus ask if a similar splitting exists for projective R[M]-modules of rank > dim(R), when M is a submonoid of Z^n. This problem will be addressed in two parts. In the first part, when rank(P) coincides with dim(R[M]), the said splitting will be demonstrated. The second part will tackle the problem when rank(P) dips even further, i.e., dim(R) < rank(P) < dim(R[M])-1. For n > 0, we define classes of monoids M_n such that if M in M_n is seminormal and rank(P) > dim(R[M]) – n, then P admits a splitting. As a consequence, it can be shown that for a projective module P over Segre extensions S_mn over R, splitting is possible when rank(P) > dim(S_mn)-[(m+n-1)/min(m,n)]. We will also discuss the possibilities of splitting under monic inversion.

Our discussion will be centred around a well-known conjecture of Payne which states that: the zero set corresponding to the second Laplace eigenfunction of any bounded planar domain should intersect the boundary at exact two points. We will look into certain stability properties of the nodal sets and obtain some interesting results concerning the conjecture.

Gmeet link: meet.google.com/rco-ewra-xmh Title: Monomial Ideals Arising from Graph Domination Problems. Abstract: Graph domination problems are ubiquitous in graph theory. In the broadest terms, they ask how one can ‘observe’ an entire graph by designating a certain list of vertices, following a proscribed list of rules. An example of this is the vertex covering problem which happens to describe the irredundant irreducible decomposition of the edge ideal of a graph. In this talk, we will survey recent work with various collaborators on other monomial ideal constructions that arise from other graph domination problems, including one coming from electrical engineering.
