A few years ago, Huneke and Leuschke proved a theorem which solved a conjecture of Schreyer. It asserts that an excellent Cohen-Macaulay local ring of countable Cohen-Macaulay type which is complete or has uncountable residue field has at…

Let R be a commutative noetherian ring. We give criteria for a complex of cotorsion flat R-modules to be minimal, in the sense that every self homotopy equivalence is an isomorphism. To do this, we exploit Enochs' description of the…

The structure of minimal free resolutions of finite modules M over commutative local rings (R,m,k) with m^3=0 and rank_k(m^2) < rank_k(m/m^2)is studied. It is proved that over generic R every M has a Koszul syzygy module. Explicit families…

A notion of rigidity with respect to an arbitrary semidualizing complex C over a commutative noetherian ring R is introduced and studied. One of the main result characterizes C-rigid complexes. Specialized to the case when C is the relative…

Let $\Lambda$ be a left and right noetherian ring. First, for $m,n\in\mathbb{N}\cup\{\infty\}$, we give equivalent conditions for a given $\Lambda$-module to be $n$-torsionfree and have $m$-torsionfree transpose. Using them, we investigate…

We describe the complete set of pairwise non-isomorphic irreducible modules S(a) over the algebra R given by the defining relation xy-yx=yy, and the rule how they could be glued to indecomposables. Namely, we show that Ext_k^1(S(a),S(b))=0,…

Let R be a commutative noetherian ring. Denote by mod R the category of finitely generated R-modules. In this paper, we study n-torsionfree modules in the sense of Auslander and Bridger, by comparing them with n-syzygy modules, and modules…

Let $R$ be a commutative noetherian ring, and let $\mathscr{S}$(resp. $\mathscr{L}$) be a Serre(resp. localizing) subcategory of the category of $R$-modules. If $\Bbb F$ is an unbounded complex of $R$-modules Tor-perpendicular to…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $E$ the minimal injective cogenerator of the category of $R$-modules. An $R$-module $M$ is (Matlis) reflexive if the natural evaluation map $M \to…

In this paper, we study module theoretic definitions of the Baer and related ring concepts. We say a module is s.Baer if the right annihilator of a nonempty subset of the module is generated by an idempotent in the ring. We show that s.Baer…

We obtain various characterizations of commutative Noetherian local rings $(R, \fm)$ in terms of homological dimensions of certain finitely generated modules. For example, we establish that $R$ is Gorenstein if the Gorenstein injective…

In this paper, we aim to obtain some results under the condition that the dual of a module over a commutative Noetherian ring has finite Gorenstein dimension. In this direction, we derive results involving vanishing of Ext as well as the…

We study the category $\mathop{\mathrm{ref}}\Lambda$ of reflexive modules over a two-sided Noetherian ring $\Lambda$. We show that the category $\mathop{\mathrm{ref}}\Lambda$ is quasi-abelian if and only if $\Lambda$ satisfies certain…

We prove that for a countable, commutative ring $R$, the class of countable $R$-modules either has only countably many isomorphism types, or else it is Borel complete. The machinery gives a succinct proof of the Borel completeness of TFAB,…

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…

The purpose of the present paper is to prove some properties of the strongly irreducible submodules in the arithmetical and Noetherian modules over a commutative ring. The relationship among the families of strongly irreducible submodules,…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $\mathfrak{a}$ be an ideal of $R$. Suppose $M$ is a finitely generated $R$-module and $N$ is an Artinian $R$-module. We define the concept of filter coregular sequence to determine the infimum of…

Let R be a commutative noetherian ring. Denote by mod R the category of finitely generated R-modules. In the present paper, we first provide various sufficient (and necessary) conditions for a full subcategory of mod R to be a Serre…

We construct a class of Gorenstein local rings $R$ which admit minimal complete $R$-free resolutions $\bd C$ such that the sequence $\{\rank_R C_i\}$ is constant for $i< 0$, and grows exponentially for all $i>0$. Over these rings we show…

The main goal of this paper is to characterize rings over which the mininjective modules are injective, so that the classes of mininjective modules and injective modules coincide. We show that these rings are precisely those Noetherian…
