Motivated by a recent result of Yoshino, and the work of Bergh on reducible complexity, we introduce reducing versions of invariants of finitely generated modules over commutative Noetherian local rings. Our main result considers modules…

Let $R$ be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring, $I$ a strongly Cohen-Macaulay ideal of $R$. We show that $R/{\rm Ann}_R(I)$ is a maximal Cohen-Macaulay $R$-module by means of the delta-invariant. Also it is shown that there exists a Cohen-Macaulay…

Let $R$ be a standard graded polynomial ring that is finitely generated over a field, and let $I$ be a homogenous prime ideal of $R$. Bhatt, Blickle, Lyubeznik, Singh, and Zhang examined the local cohomology of $R/I^t$, as $t$ grows…

Let $S=K[x_1, \ldots,x_n]$ denote the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ and $I \subset S$ a monomial ideal. Given a vector $\mathfrak{c}\in\mathbb{N}^n$, the ideal $I_{\mathfrak{c}}$ is the ideal generated by those monomials…

Regularity, complete intersection and Gorenstein properties of a local ring can be characterized by homological conditions on the canonical homomorphism into its residue field (Serre, Avramov, Auslander). It is also known that in positive…

The aim of this note is to study the class of one dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local rings, $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ say, possessing a canonical ideal $K$ which is a reduction of $\mathfrak{m}$. We call $R$ to have canonical reduction $K$. We show…

We establish a "second vanishing theorem" for local cohomology modules over regular rings of unramified mixed characteristic, which relates the connectedness of the spectrum of a ring with the vanishing of local cohomology. Applying this,…

We study the local cohomology modules H^i_B(R) for a reduced monomial ideal B in a polynomial ring R=k[X_1,...,X_n]. We consider a grading on R which is coarser than the Z^n-grading such that each component of H^i_B(R) is finite dimensional…

Let $\mathfrak{a}$ be an ideal of a commutative noetherian (not necessarily local) ring $R$. In the case $\cd(\mathfrak{a},R)\leq 1$, we show that the subcategory of $\mathfrak{a}$-cofinite $R$-modules is abelian. Using this and the…

Let $\mathfrak{a}$ be an ideal of a local ring $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ with $c = \mathrm{cd}(\mathfrak{a},R)$ the cohomological dimension of $\mathfrak{a}$ in $R$. In the case that $c=\dim R$, we first give a bound for…

We prove the Second Vanishing Theorem for local cohomology modules of an unramified regular local ring in its full generality and provide a new proof of the Second Vanishing Theorem in prime characteristic $p$. As an application of our…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a complete Cohen-Macaulay local ring. Assume $A$ is not Gorenstein. We say $A$ is a Teter ring if there exists a complete Gorenstein ring $(B,\mathfrak{n})$ with $\dim B = \dim A$ and a surjective map $B…

Given a local Cohen-Macaulay ring $(R, {\mathfrak m})$, we study the interplay between the integral closedness -- or even the normality -- of an ${\mathfrak m}$-primary $R$-ideal $I$ and conditions on the Hilbert coefficients of $I$. We…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $\fa$ an ideal of $R$ and $M$ an $R$-module. We intend to establish the dual of Grothendieck's Vanishing Theorem for local homology modules. We conjecture that $H^{\fa}_i(M)=0$ for all $i>\Mag_RM$.…

A well-known result of K\"{o}the and Cohen-Kaplansky states that a commutative ring $R$ has the property that every $R$-module is a direct sum of cyclic modules if and only if $R$ is an Artinian principal ideal ring. This motivated us to…

Let $I$ be an ideal of height $d$ in a regular local ring $(R,m,k=R/m)$ of dimension $n$ and let $\Omega$ denote the canonical module of $R/I$. In this paper we first prove the equivalence of the following: the non-vanishing of the edge…

Let X be a projective variety, $\sigma$ an automorphism of X, L a $\sigma$-ample invertible sheaf on X, and Z a closed subscheme of X. Inside the twisted homogeneous coordinate ring $B = B(X, L, \sigma)$, let I be the right ideal of…

Let $K$ be a field, $R$ a standard graded $K$-algebra and $M$ be a finitely generated graded $R$-module. The rate of $M$, $rate_R(M)$, is a measure of the growth of the shifts in the minimal graded free resolution of $M$. In this paper, we…

In this paper we show that a large class of one-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local rings $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ has the property that if $M$ is a maximal Cohen-Macaulay $A$-module then the Hilbert function of $M$ ( with respect to $\mathfrak{m}$)…

Let $(A,{\mathfrak m})$ be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring and let $I$ be an ideal of $A$. We prove that the Rees algebra ${\mathcal R}(I)$ is an almost Gorenstein ring in the following cases: (1) $(A,{\mathfrak m})$ is a two-dimensional…
