A theorem of O. Forster says that if $R$ is a noetherian ring of Krull dimension $d$, then any projective $R$-module of rank $n$ can be generated by $d+n$ elements. S. Chase and R. Swan subsequently showed that this bound is sharp: there…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $k$ be a field. Let $G$ act on the rational function field $k(x_g:g\in G)$ by $k$-automorphisms defined by $g\cdot x_h=x_{gh}$ for any $g,h\in G$. Noether's problem asks whether the fixed field $k(G)=k(x_g:g\in…

We prove a $p$-adic analog of Kunz's theorem: a $p$-adically complete noetherian ring is regular exactly when it admits a faithfully flat map to a perfectoid ring. This result is deduced from a more precise statement on detecting finiteness…

We study Noether's normalization lemma for finitely generated algebras over a division algebra. In its classical form, the lemma states that if $I$ is a proper ideal of the ring $R=F[t_1,\ldots,t_n]$ of polynomials over a field $F$, then…

Let $\mathfrak{R}$ be a weakly noetherian variety of unitary associative algebras (over a field $K$ of characteristic 0), i.e., every finitely generated algebra from $\mathfrak{R}$ satisfies the ascending chain condition for two-sided…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a $d$-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local ring with infinite residue field. Let $I$ be an ideal of $R$ that has analytic spread $\ell(I)=d$, satisfies the $G_d$ condition, the weak Artin-Nagata property $AN_{d-2}^-$…

We determine sufficient conditions for certain classes of $(n+k) \times n$ matrices $E$ to have all order-$n$ minors to be nonzero. For a special class of $(n+1) \times n$ matrices $E,$ we give the formula for the order-$n$ minors. As an…

Let $R$ be a left and right Noetherian ring. We introduce the notion of the torsionfree dimension of finitely generated $R$-modules. For any $n\geq 0$, we prove that $R$ is a Gorenstein ring with self-injective dimension at most $n$ if and…

We prove an integral version of the classical Albert-Brauer-Hasse-Noether theorem regarding quaternion algebras over number fields. Let $\mathfrak A$ be a quaternion algebra over a number field $K$ and assume that $\mathfrak A$ satisfies…

The Nakayama conjecture is one of the most important conjectures in ring theory. The Auslander-Reiten conjecture is closely related to it. The purpose of this note is to show that if the Auslander-Reiten conjecture holds in codimension one…

Auslander and Ringel-Tachikawa have shown that for an artinian ring R of finite representation type, every R-module is the direct sum of finitely generated indecomposable R-modules. In this paper, we will adapt this result to finite…

We give counterexamples to the following conjecture of Auslander: given a finitely generated module $M$ over an Artin algebra $\Lambda$, there exists a positive integer $n_M$ such that for all finitely generated $\Lambda$-modules $N$, if…

We investigate two invariants of Noetherian semiperfect rings, namely the depth and a new invariant we call the "delooping level". These give lower and upper bounds for the finitistic dimension, respectively. As first theorems, we give a…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian local ring. We prove that $R$ is regular of dimension at most four if, and only if, every prime ideal, defining a Gorenstein quotient ring, is syzygetic. We deduce a characterization of these rings in terms of the…

We consider some existing results regarding rings for which the classes of torsion-free and non-singular right modules coincide. Here, a right $R$-module $M$ is non-singular if $xI$ is nonzero for every nonzero $x \in M$ and every essential…

Let $V$ be a valuation ring of a global field $K$. We show that for all positive integers $k$ and $1 < n_1 \leq \ldots \leq n_k$ there exists an integer-valued polynomial on $V$, that is, an element of $\text{Int}(V) = \{ f \in K[X] \mid…

In this paper, we find an explicit combinatorial criterion for the existence of a nonzero GL_{n-1}(K)-high weight vector of weight (\lambda_1,...,\lambda_{i-1},\lambda_i-d,\lambda_{i+1},..., \lambda_{n-1}), where d<char K and K is an…

Let $\Lambda$ be an Auslander's 1-Gorenstein Artinian algebra with global dimension two. If $\Lambda$ admits a trivial maximal 1-orthogonal subcategory of $\mod\Lambda$, then for any indecomposable module $M \in \mod \Lambda$, we have that…

We prove the existence results for the Schr\"odinger equation of the form $$ -\Delta u + V(x) u = g(x,u), \quad x \in \mathbb{R}^N, $$ where $g$ is superlinear and subcritical in some periodic set $K$ and linear in $\mathbb{R}^N \setminus…

One of the most stunning results in the representation theory of Cohen-Macaulay rings is Auslander's well known theorem which states a CM local ring of finite CM type can have at most an isolated singularity. There have been some…
