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.…

In this paper, we consider finitely generated modules over commutative Noetherian rings whose tensor products have finite projective dimension. We construct examples of modules of infinite projective dimension (and also of infinite…

We describe new classes of noetherian local rings $R$ whose finitely generated modules $M$ have the property that $Tor_i^R(M,M)=0$ for $i\gg 0$ implies that $M$ has finite projective dimension, or $Ext^i_R(M,M)=0$ for $i\gg 0$ implies that…

The goal of this paper is to establish fundamental properties of the Hochschild, topological Hochschild, and topological cyclic homologies of commutative, Noetherian rings, which are assumed only to be F-finite in the majority of our…

In this paper we study (non-commutative) rings $R$ over which every finitely generated left module is a direct sum of cyclic modules (called left FGC-rings). The commutative case was a well-known problem studied and solved in 1970s by…

Let $\mathcal C$ be a class of modules over a ring $R$, closed under direct sums over index sets of cardinality $\kappa$ and isomorphisms, and such that the isomorphism classes form a set. The monoid of modules $V(\mathcal C)$ encodes the…

Over a Cohen-Macaulay (CM) local ring, we characterize those modules that can be obtained as a direct limit of finitely generated maximal CM modules. We point out two consequences of this characterization: (1) Every balanced big CM module,…

Let $\omega$ be a Morse form on a manifold $M$. Let $p:\hat M\to M$ be a regular covering with structure group $G$, such that $p^*([\omega])=0$. Let $\xi:G\to\mathbf{R}$ be the corresponding period homomorphism. Denote by ${\hat…

A finitely generated module C over a commutative noetherian ring R is semidualizing if Hom_R(C,C) \cong R and Ext^i_R(C,C) = 0 for all i \geq 1. For certain local Cohen-Macaulay rings (R,m), we verify the equality of Hilbert-Samuel…

For oriented connected closed manifolds of the same dimension, there is a transitive relation: $M$ dominates $N$, or $M \ge N$, if there exists a continuous map of non-zero degree from $M$ onto $N$. Section 1 is a reminder on the notion of…

Every projective module is flat. Conversely, every flat module is a direct limit of finitely generated free modules; this was proved independently by Govorov and Lazard in the 1960s. In this paper we prove an analogous result for complexes…

In this paper we show that for a torsion-free abelian group $G$, $\operatorname{rank}_\mathbb{Z}G<\infty$ if and only if there exists a Noetherian $G$-graded ring $R$ such that the set $\{R_g \neq 0\}$ generates the group $G$. For every $G$…

Let $S$ be a multigraded polynomial ring such that the degree of each variable is a unit vector; so $S$ is the homogeneous coordinate ring of a product of projective spaces. In this setting, we characterize the formal Laurent series which…

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…

We obtain a characterization of left perfect rings via superstability of the class of flat left modules with pure embeddings. $\mathbf{Theorem.}$ For a ring $R$ the following are equivalent. - $R$ is left perfect. - The class of flat left…

A (control) network over a finite ring is proposed. Using semi-tensor product (STP) of matrices, a set of algebraic equations are provided to verify whether a finite set with two binary operators is a ring. It is then shown that the…

One of the basic objects in the Morse theory of circle-valued maps is Novikov complex - an analog of the Morse complex of Morse functions. Novikov complex is defined over the ring of Laurent power series with finite negative part. The main…

Over Cohen--Macaulay rings admitting a pointwise dualizing module, we show that the class of modules of restricted projective dimension bounded by any integer is finitely deconstructible and that the class of modules of restricted flat…

We prove that the module categories of Noether algebras (i.e., algebras module finite over a noetherian center) and affine noetherian PI algebras over a field enjoy the following product property: Whenever a direct product $\prod_{n \in…

Let $\hat{R}$ be the $I$-adic completion of a commutative ring $R$ with respect to a finitely generated ideal $I$. We give a necessary and sufficient criterion for the category of perfect complexes over $\hat{R}$ to be equivalent to the…
