The canonical trace of determinantal rings

Commutative Algebra 2022-12-06 v2

Abstract

We compute the canonical trace of generic determinantal rings and provide a sufficient condition for the trace to specialize. As an application we determine the canonical trace \mboxtr(ωR)\mbox{tr}(\omega_R) of a Cohen-Macaulay ring RR of codimension two, which is generically Gorenstein. It is shown that if the defining ideal II of RR is generated by nn elements, then \mboxtr(ωR)\mbox{tr}(\omega_R) is generated by the (n2)(n-2)-minors of the Hilbert-Burch matrix of II.
