Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a local Gorenstein local ring and let $M$ be an $A$ module of finite length and finite projective dimension. We prove that the Lowey length of $M$ is greater than or equal to order of $A$. This generalizes a result…

Let $\Lambda$ be an artin algebra. We obtain that $\Lambda$ is syzygy-finite when the radical layer length of $\Lambda$ is at most two; as two consequences, we give a new upper bound for the dimension of the bounded derived category of the…

For an abelian category $\mathcal{A}$, we establish the relation between its derived and extension dimensions. Then for an artin algebra $\Lambda$, we give the upper bounds of the extension dimension of $\Lambda$ in terms of the radical…

We generalize the notion of length to an ordinal-valued invariant defined on the class of finitely generated modules over a Noetherian ring. A key property of this invariant is its semi-additivity on short exact sequences. We show how to…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Gorenstein local ring of dimension $d \geq 1$. Suppose there exists be a non-zero $A$ module $M$ of finite length and finite projective dimension such that $\ell\ell(M)$, the Lowey length of $M$, is equal to…

It is proved that the sum of the Loewy lengths of the homology modules of a finite free complex F over a local ring R is bounded below by a number depending only on R. This result uncovers, in the structure of modules of finite projective…

We initiate the study of general metric lattices in the context of the model theory of metric structures. As an application we develop a theory of pseudo-finite limits of partition lattices and connect this theory with the theory of…

In this paper we introduce techniques to gauge the torsion of the tensor product $A\otimes_RB$ of two finitely generated modules over a Noetherian ring $R$. The outlook is very different from the study of the rigidity of Tor carried out in…

We work with $FI$-modules over a small preadditive category $\mathcal R$, viewed as a ring with several objects. Our aim is to study torsion theories for $FI$-modules. We are especially interested in torsion theories on finitely generated…

In this paper, we consider a problem of Lang about finiteness of torsion points on plane rational curves over $\mathbb C$, and prove some results towards a matrix analogue of this problem.

Many known results on finite von Neumann algebras are generalized, by purely algebraic proofs, to a certain class ${\mathcal C}$ of finite Baer *-rings. The results in this paper can also be viewed as a study of the properties of Baer…

The dimension of any module over an algebra of affiliated operators ${\mathcal U}$ of a finite von Neumann algebra ${\mathcal A}$ is defined using a trace on ${\mathcal A}.$ All zero-dimensional ${\mathcal U}$-modules constitute the torsion…

We establish a bijection between torsion pairs in the category of finite-dimensional modules over a finite-dimensional algebra A and pairs (Z, I) formed by a closed rigid set Z in the Ziegler spectrum of A and a set I of indecomposable…

We introduce an analogue of the theory of length spaces into the setting of Lorentzian geometry and causality theory. The r\^ole of the metric is taken over by the time separation function, in terms of which all basic notions are…

In Part I of this paper, we introduced a class of certain algebras of finite dimension over a field. All these algebras are split, symmetric and local. Here we continue to investigate their Loewy structure. We show that in many cases their…

Loop torsors over Laurent polynomial rings in characteristic 0 were originally introduced in relation to infinite dimensional Lie theory. Applications to other areas require a theory that can yields results in positive characteristic, and…

In this paper we study the behaviour of modules over finite dimensional algebras whose endomorphism algebra is a division ring. We show that there are finitely many such modules in the module category of an algebra if and only if the length…

Let $\Lambda$ be an artin algebra. We give an upper bound for the dimension of the bounded derived category of the category $\mod \Lambda$ of finitely generated right $\Lambda$-modules in terms of the projective and injective dimensions of…

We develop silting theory of a noetherian algebra $\Lambda$ over a commutative noetherian ring $R$. We study mutation theory of $2$-term silting complexes of $\Lambda$, and as a consequence, we see that mutation exists. As in the case of…

This article is concerned with nonzero modules of finite length and finite projective dimension over a local ring. We show the Loewy length of such a module is larger than the regularity of the ring whenever the ring is strict…
