This article investigates the splitting problem for finitely generated projective modules $P$ over affine algebras over algebraically closed fields and their polynomial extensions. We then address an open question due to M. Roitman on monic…
We provide a class of commutative Noetherian domains $R$ of dimension $d$ such that every finitely generated projective $R$-module $P$ of rank $d$ splits off a free summand of rank one. On this class, we also show that $P$ is cancellative.…
We formalize in Lean the following foundational result in commutative algebra: Let $R \to S$ be a faithfully flat map of (not necessarily noetherian) commutative rings, and let $P$ be an arbitrary $R$-module. Then $P$ is projective over $R$…
This article concerns a question asked by M. V. Nori on homotopy of sections of Projective modules defined on the polynomial algebra over a smooth affine domain $R$. While this question has an affirmative answer, it is known that the…
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 introduce a similarity relation between submodules of a module $M$ over a ring $R$, extending the classical notion of similarity for right ideals. Focusing on (faithfully) projective modules, we establish a sharp lower bound for the…
Let $p$ be a prime number, $K$ be the henselization of the rational functions over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ and $R$ be the ring of additive polynomials over K. We show that the field of Laurent series over $\mathbb{F}_p$ is decidable…
Let $G$ be a simply-connected semisimple algebraic group scheme over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 0$. Let $r \geq 1$ and set $q = p^r$. We show that if a rational $G$-module $M$ is projective over the $r$-th…
We study the cancellation property of projective modules of rank $2$ with a trivial determinant over Noetherian rings of dimension $\leq 4$. If $R$ is a smooth affine algebra of dimension $4$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ such that…
We discuss representations of the projective line over a ring $R$ with 1 in a projective space over some (not necessarily commutative) field $K$. Such a representation is based upon a $(K,R)$-bimodule $U$. The points of the projective line…
Differential modules over a commutative differential ring R which are finitely generated projective as ring modules, with differential homomorphisms, form an additive category, so their isomorphism classes form a monoid. We study the…
We develop an elementary theory of partially additive rings as a foundation of ${\mathbb F}_1$-geometry. Our approach is so concrete that an analog of classical algebraic geometry is established very straightforwardly. As applications, (1)…
A module over a ring $R$ is pure projective provided it is isomorphic to a direct summand of a direct sum of finitely presented modules. We develop tools for the classification of pure projective modules over commutative noetherian rings.…
A projective mirror polyhedron is a projective polyhedron endowed with reflections across its faces. We construct an explicit diffeomorphism between the moduli space of a mirror projective polyhedron with fixed dihedral angles in…
In this note we consider a notion of relative Frobenius pairs of commutative rings $S/R$. To such a pair, we associate an $\mathbb{N}$-graded $R$-algebra $\Pi_R(S)$ which has a simple description and coincides with the preprojective algebra…
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring of prime characteristic $p$ and $f:R\to R$ the Frobenius ring homomorphism. For $e\ge 1$ let $R^{(e)}$ denote the ring $R$ viewed as an $R$-module via $f^e$. Results of Peskine, Szpiro, and…
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring of dimension $d$, $M$ a commutative cancellative torsion-free monoid of rank $r$ and $P$ a finitely generated projective $R[M]$-module of rank $t$. $(1)$ Assume $M$ is $\Phi$-simplicial seminormal.…
In this paper, we characterize several properties of commutative notherian local rings in terms of the left perpendicular category of the category of finitely generated modules of finite projective dimension. As an application we prove that…
We prove that for a noetherian semilocal ring $R$ with exactly $k$ isomorphism classes of simple right modules the monoid $V^*(R)$ of isomorphism classes of countably generated projective right (left) modules, viewed as a submonoid of…
We prove that cancellation of reflexive modules over affine rings holds under some restrictions. We construct examples to show that this is false even over polynomial rings without the extra assumptions.
