    Abstract

    We show that given a finitely generated standard graded algebra of dimension d over an infinite field, its graded Noether normalizations obey a certain kind of 'generic exchange', allowing one to pass between any two of them in at most d steps. We prove analogous generic exchange theorems for minimal reductions of an ideal, minimal complete reductions of a set of ideals, and minimal complete reductions of multigraded k-algebras. Finally, we unify all these results into a common axiomatic framework by introducing a new topological-combinatorial structure we call a generic matroid, which is a common generalization of a topological space and a matroid.
