Local cohomology modules, even over a Noetherian ring $R$, are typically unwieldly. As such, it is of interest whether or not they have finitely many associated primes. We prove the affirmative in the case where $R$ is a Stanley-Reisner…

Let $(R, \frak m)$ be a Noetherian local ring and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module of dimension $d$. A famous result of Northcott says that if $M$ is Cohen-Macaulay, then the index of reducibility of parameter ideals on $M$ is an…

The purpose of this note is to show that a finitely generated graded module $M$ over $S=k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, $k$ a field, is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay if and only if its arithmetic degree ${\rm adeg}(M)$ agrees with ${\rm adeg}(F/{\rm…

In this work we provide an upper bound for the multiplicity of a one-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay ring (under certain conditions), describe the rings attaining the equality for this bound, and outline a connection with Wilf's conjecture for…

Let $S$ be an unramified regular local ring of mixed characteristic two and $R$ the integral closure of $S$ in a biquadratic extension of its quotient field obtained by adjoining roots of sufficiently general square free elements $f,g\in…

Our purpose in this work is multifold. First, we provide general criteria for the finiteness of the projective and injective dimensions of a finite module $M$ over a (commutative) Noetherian ring $R$. Second, in the other direction, we…

Let $FI$ be a skeleton of the category of finite sets and injective maps, and $FI^m$ the product of $m$ copies of $FI$. We prove that if an $FI^m$-module is generated in degree $\leqslant d$ and related in degree $\leqslant r$, then its…

We study the first Hilbert coefficient (after the multiplicity) $e_1$ of a local ring $(A,\m). $ Under various circumstances, it is also called the {\bf Chern number} of the local ring $A.$ Starting from the work of D.G. Northcott in the…

Using the description of the Frobenius limit of modules over the ring of invariants under an action of a finite group on a polynomial ring over a field of characteristic $p>0$ developed by Symonds and the author, we give a characterization…

This paper gives a sharp upper bound for the Betti numbers of a finitely generated multigraded $R$-module, where $R=\Bbbk [x_{1},...,x_{m}]$ is the polynomial ring over a field $\Bbbk$ in $m$ variables. The bound is given in terms of the…

Let $R$ be an $F$-finite Noetherian regular ring containing an algebraically closed field $k$ of positive characteristic, and let $M$ be an $\F$-finite $\F$-module over $R$ in the sense of Lyubeznik (for example, any local cohomology module…

The associated Buchsbaum-Rim multiplicities of a module are a descending sequence of non-negative integers. These invariants of a module are a generalization of the classical Hilbert-Samuel multiplicity of an ideal. In this article, we…

We introduce a new invariant for subcategories X of finitely generated modules over a local ring R which we call the radius of X. We show that if R is a complete intersection and X is resolving, then finiteness of the radius forces X to…

Multigraded Castelnuovo--Mumford regularity of a module $M$ over the total coordinate ring $S$ of a smooth projective toric variety $X$ is a region $\operatorname{reg} M \subset \operatorname{Pic} X$ invariant under translation by the nef…

A complete structure theorem of Sally modules of $\fkm$-primary ideals $I$ in a Cohen-Macaulay local ring $(A, \m)$ satisfying the equality $\e_1(I)=\e_0(I)-\ell_A(A/I)+1$ is given, where $\e_0(I)$ and $\e_1(I)$ denote the first two Hilbert…

Let R be a commutative ring with unity and a let A be a not necessarily commutative R-algebra which is free as an R-module. If I is an ideal in A, one can ask when A/I is also free as an R-module. We show that if A has an admissible system…

Let $\mathfrak{q}$ denote an ideal in a Noetherian local ring $(A,\mathfrak{m})$. Let $\underline{a}=a_1,\ldots,a_d \subset \mathfrak{q}$ denote a system of parameters in a finitely generated $A$-module $M$. This note investigate an…

For a standard graded Cohen-Macaulay ring $S$, if the quotient $S/(\underline{x})$ admits non-free totally reflexive modules, where $\underline{x}$ is a system of parameters consisting of elements of degree one, then so does the ring $S$.…

It is proved that if $\varphi\colon A\to B$ is a local homomorphism of commutative noetherian local rings, a nonzero finitely generated $B$-module $N$ whose flat dimension over $A$ is at most $\mathrm{edim}\, A - \mathrm{edim}\, B$, is free…

Let S be a standard N^r-graded algebra over a local ring A, and let M be a finitely generated Z^r-graded S-module. We characterize the Cohen-Macaulayness of M in terms of the vanishing of certain sheaf cohomology modules. As a consequence,…
