Some properties of $n$-semidualizing modules

Let $R$ be a commutative noetherian ring. The $n$-semidualizing modules of $R$ are generalizations of its semidualizing modules. We will prove some basic properties of $n$-semidualizing modules. Our main result and example shows that the divisor class group of a Gorenstein determinantal ring over a field is the set of isomorphism classes of its 1-semidualizing modules. Finally, we pose some questions about $n$-semidualizing modules.
