Commutative Algebra 2023-06-27 v1

Abstract

Let (A,m)(B,n)(A,\mathfrak m)\rightarrow (B,\mathfrak n) be a pure homomorphism between Noetherian commutative rings. If B/mBB/\mathfrak m B is an Artinian ring, then we have dimA=dimB\dim A=\dim B and depthAdepthB\mathop{\mathrm{depth}} A\geq \mathop{\mathrm{depth}} B. Using this version of Hochster-Eagon theorem, we prove the following: Let ABA\rightarrow B be a pure homomorphism between Noetherian commutative rings. Assume that the fiber ring κ(p)AB\kappa(\mathfrak p)\otimes_A B is Artinian for each pSpecA\mathfrak p\in\mathop{\mathrm{Spec}} A, and BB satisfies Serre's (Sn)(S_n) condition. Then AA also satisfies Serre's (Sn)(S_n) condition. In particular, if a finite group GG acts on BB and the order G|G| of GG is invertible in BB, and if BB is Noetherian with the (Sn)(S_n) condition, then the ring of invariants A=BGA=B^G also satisfies the (Sn)(S_n) condition.

5 pages. Removed Lemma 2.6 in ver1. Changed the statement of Proposition 2.6 (Prop 2.7 in ver1). There was a flaw in the proof of Theorem 2.7 (Thm 2.8 in ver1), and we fixed it. An explanation on the proof of Theorem 2.8 (Thm 2.9 in ver1) was added in the introduction
