Abstract

This paper concerns homological notions of regularity for noncommutative algebras. Properties of an algebra AA are reflected in the regularities of certain (complexes of) AA-modules. We study the classical Tor-regularity and Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity, which were generalized from the commutative setting to the noncommutative setting by J{\o}rgensen and Dong-Wu. We also introduce two new numerical homological invariants: concavity and Artin-Schelter regularity. Artin-Schelter regular algebras occupy a central position in noncommutative algebra and noncommutative algebraic geometry, and we use these invariants to establish criteria which can be used to determine whether a noetherian connected graded algebra is Artin-Schelter regular.
