Test modules, weakly regular homomorphisms and complete intersection dimension

Commutative Algebra 2022-10-11 v4

Abstract

We prove that if a local ring admits a (pd-)test module of finite complete intersection dimension, then it is a complete intersection ring. This answers, positively, a question proposed by Celikbas, Dao and Takahashi. To this aim, we first investigate another question raised by Celikbas and Sather- Wagstaff concerning ascent properties of (pd-)test complexes under weakly regular homomorphisms.
