Abstract

Let PP be a commutative Noetherian ring and FF be a self-dual acyclic complex of finitely generated free PP-modules. Assume that FF has length four and F0F_0 has rank one. We prove that FF can be given the structure of a Differential Graded Algebra with Divided Powers; furthermore, the multiplication on FF exhibits Poincar\'e duality. This result is already known if PP is a local Gorenstein ring and FF is a minimal resolution. The purpose of the present paper is to remove the unnecessary hypotheses that PP is local, PP is Gorenstein, and FF is minimal.
