Direct limits of Cohen-Macaulay rings

Commutative Algebra 2013-12-25 v1

Abstract

Let AA be a direct limit of a direct system of Cohen-Macaulay rings. In this paper, we describe the Cohen-Macaulay property of AA. Our results indicate that AA is not necessarily Cohen-Macaulay. We show AA is Cohen-Macaulay under various assumptions. As an application, we study Cohen-Macaulayness of non-affine normal semigroup rings.
