Research summary

Irena Swanson works in commutative algebra, a branch of pure mathematics that studies the structure of algebraic objects called rings and ideals (roughly, collections of elements built from polynomials that behave in structured ways). Much of her recent work examines how properties of ideals, such as their 'associated primes' and 'depth', change as the ideal is raised to higher powers, as well as related computational and structural questions like Rees algebras and primary decompositions. This research is foundational, contributing to the theoretical toolkit used across algebra, algebraic geometry, and computational algebra.

Publication output has been modest and somewhat irregular over the last decade, with occasional gaps (e.g., 2022) followed by renewed activity in 2023-2025, averaging about 1.6 papers per year over the last five years.
