A domain $R$ is said to have the finite factorization property if every nonzero non-unit element of $R$ has at least one and at most finitely many distinct factorizations up to multiplication of irreducible factors by central units. Let $k$…

For a Cohen-Macaulay ring $R$, we exhibit the equivalence of the bounded derived categories of certain resolving subcategories, which, amongst other results, yields an equivalence of the bounded derived category of finite length and finite…

In this paper, we advance an ideal-theoretic analogue of a "finite factorization domain" (FFD), giving such a domain the moniker "finite molecularization domain" (FMD). We characterize FMD's as those factorable domains (termed "molecular…

We prove that if a finite group scheme $G$ over a field $k$ has essential dimension one, then it embeds in $PGL_{2/k}$. We use this to give an explicit classification of all infinitesimal group schemes of essential dimension one over any…

Assume that $R$ is a non-right perfect ring. Then there is a proper class of classes of (right $R$-) modules closed under transfinite extensions lying between the classes $\mathcal P _0$ of projective modules, and $\mathcal F _0$ of flat…

In this brief note we show that for a field extension $K/F$, $S=K[\![\mathbf{x}]\!]$ is a free $R=F[\![\mathbf{x}]\!]$-module precisely when $K/F$ is finite. We then raise the question \emph{what is the projective dimension of $S$?}

For any ring we propose the construction of a cover which increases the finitistic dimension on one side and decreases the finitistic dimension to zero on the opposite side. This complements recent work of Cummings.

A new homological dimension is introduced to measure the quality of resolutions of `singular' finite dimensional algebras (of infinite global dimension) by `regular' ones (of finite global dimension). Upper bounds are established in terms…

Let $R$ be a ring with unity and $\mathcal{X}$ a semibrick in the module category $\mathrm{Mod}\,R$, that is, a class of pairwise orthogonal finitely presented modules whose endomorphism rings are division rings. We study the full…

In this survey we discuss the results on the finitistic dimension of various stratified algebras. We describe what is already known, present some recent estimates, and list some open problems.

We investigate homological and depth-theoretic properties of finitely generated modules of finite projective dimension over Noetherian local rings. A central theme is the study of criteria for freeness and reflexivity derived from the…

Several years ago, Bondal, Rouquier and Van den Bergh introduced the notion of the dimension of a triangulated category, and Rouquier proved that the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a separated scheme of finite type over a…

We present a conjecture on the irreducibility of the tensor products of fundamental representations of quantized affine algebras. This conjecture implies in particular that the irreducibility of the tensor products of fundamental…

We define the notion of a $\lambda$-definable category, a generalisation of the notion of definable category from the model theory of modules. Let ${\cal C}$ be a $\lambda$-accessible additive category. We characterise the additive functors…

Let $\Lambda$ be an artin algebra and $\mathcal{C}$ be a functorially finite subcategory of mod$\Lambda$ which contains $\Lambda$ or $D\Lambda$. We use the concept of the infinite radical of $\mathcal{C}$ and show that $\mathcal{C}$ has an…

In this paper, we classify all simple weight modules with finite-dimensional weight spaces over the $N=2$ Ramond algebra. Any such module $V$ is either a simple highest weight module or a simple lowest weight module, or a simple cuspidal…

The quasi-projective dimension and quasi-injective dimension are recently introduced homological invariants that generalize the classical notions of projective dimension and injective dimension, respectively. For a local ring $R$ and…

For finitely generated modules $M$ and $N $ over a commutative Noetherian local ring $R$, we give various sufficient criteria for detecting freeness of $M$ or $N$ via vanishing of some finitely many Ext modules $\textrm{Ext}^i_R(M,N)$ and…

Let $\Lambda$ be an artin algebra, and $\mathcal{V}$ a subset of all simple modules in $\mod\Lambda$. Suppose that $\Lambda/\rad \Lambda$ has finite syzygy type, then the derived dimension of $\Lambda$ is at most…

The singularity category of a ring makes only the modules of finite projective dimension vanish among the modules, so the singularity category is expected to characterize a homological property of modules of infinite projective dimension.…
