Abstract

It is shown in a local strongly FF-regular ring there exits natural number e0e_0 so that if MM is any finitely generated maximal Cohen-Macaulay module then the pushforward of MM under the e0e_0th iterate of the Frobenius endomorphism contains a free summand. Consequently, the torsion subgroup of the divisor class group of a local strongly FF-regular ring is finite.
