A plane curve on a the projective space over a field of characteristic zero is free if its associated sheaf T of tangent vector fields tangent is a free module. Relatively few free curves are known. Here we prove that a divisor consisting…

We show that a formal power series ring $A[[X]]$ over a noetherian ring $A$ is not a projective module unless $A$ is artinian. However, if $(A,{\mathfrak m})$ is local, then $A[[X]]$ behaves like a projective module in the sense that…

We show that, for a free abelian group $G$ and prime power $p^\nu$, every direct sum decomposition of the group $G/p^\nu G$ lifts to a direct sum decomposition of $G$. This is the key result we use to show that, if $R$ is a commutative von…

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 $S$?}

Let $R$ be a valuation ring and let $Q$ be its total quotient ring. It is proved that any singly projective (respectively flat) module is finitely projective if and only if $Q$ is maximal (respectively artinian). It is shown that each…

A classical result asserts that the complex projective plane modulo complex conjugation is the 4-dimensional sphere. We generalize this result in two directions by considering the projective planes over the normed real division algebras and…

We prove that all elliptic curves defined over real quadratic fields are modular.

Let R be a ring of dimension d and A be one of R[Y] or R[Y,Y^{-1}]. If P is a projective A-module of rank \geq d+1 satisfying some condition, then we show that E(A\oplus P) acts transitively on Um(A\oplus P). When P is free, this result is…

In this paper, we study the problem when a finitely generated torsionless module is projective. Let $\Lambda$ be an Artinian local algebra with radical square zero. Then a finitely generated torsionless $\Lambda$-module $M$ is projective if…

A real algebraic link in the 3-sphere is defined as the zero locus in the 3-sphere of a real algebraic function from $\mathbb{R}^4$ to $\mathbb{R}^2$. A real algebraic open book decomposition on the 3-sphere is by definition the Milnor…

In this short note we present an elementary matrix-constructive proof of Quillen-Suslin theorem for Ore extensions: If $K$ is a division ring and $A:=K[x;\sigma,\delta]$ is an Ore extension, with $\sigma$ bijective, then every finitely…

A procedure resolving a torsion-free coherent sheaf on a nonsingular $N$-dimensional projective algebraic variety into a locally free sheaf on a projective scheme of certain class is proposed. This is a higher-dimensional analog of the…

We prove the non-existence of special generic maps on $3$-dimensional complex projective space as our new result and a corollary by several methods. Special generic maps are generalizations of Morse functions with exactly two singular…

In this paper, we define and study a notion of Ding projective dimension for complexes of left modules over associative rings. In particular, we consider the class of homologically bounded below complexes of left R-modules, and show that…

This paper studies infinite acyclic complexes of finitely generated free modules over a commutative noetherian local ring $(R,m)$ with $m^3=0$. Conclusive results are obtained on the growth of the ranks of the modules in acyclic complexes,…

We introduce a weighted version of the module of logarithmic derivations of a divisor in weighted projective space, and provide a generalization of Saito's criterion for freeness in terms of weighted multiple eigenschemes (wME-schemes).…

We show that for every lattice packing of $n$-dimensional spheres there exists an $(n/\log_2(n))$-dimensional affine plane which does not meet any of the spheres in their interior, provided $n$ is large enough. Such an affine plane is…

Let R be an affine algebra of dimension n \geq 3 over an algebraically closed field k. Suppose char k =0 or char k =p \geq n. Let g,f_1,...,f_r be a R-regular sequence and A=R[f_1/g,...,f_r/g]. Let P be a projective A-module of rank n-1…

We give an explicit algorithm to compute a projective resolution of a module over the noncommutative ring based on the noncommutative Groebner bases theory.

We prove that moduli spaces of torsion-free sheaves on a projective smooth complex surface are irreducible, reduced and of the expected dimension, provided the expected dimension is large enough. Actually we prove more: given a line bundle…
