We define a duality operation connecting closure operations, interior operations, and test ideals, and describe how the duality acts on common constructions such as trace, torsion, tight and integral closures, and divisible submodules. This…
Closure operations such as tight and integral closure and test ideals have appeared frequently in the study of commutative algebra. This articles serves as a survey of the authors' prior results connecting closure operations, test ideals,…
Exploiting the interior-closure duality developed by Epstein and R.G., we show that for the class of Matlis dualizable modules $\mathcal{M}$ over a Noetherian local ring, when cl is a Nakayama closure and i its dual interior, there is a…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $S \subseteq R$ be a multiplicative subset. We introduce and study the concept of $S$-purity based on the notion of $S$-strongly flat modules. The class of $S$-pure injective modules will be studied. We…
Tight closure test ideals have been central to the classification of singularities in rings of characteristic $p>0$, and via reduction to characteristic $p$, in equal characteristic zero as well. A summary of their properties and…
We develop a duality for operations on nested pairs of modules that generalizes the duality between absolute interior operations and residual closure operations from [ER21], extending our previous results to the expanded context. We apply…
In this paper we study the properties of the finite topology on the dual of a module over an arbitrary ring. We aim to give conditions when certain properties of the field case are can be still found here. Investigating the correspondence…
This paper is concerned with the tight closure of an ideal $I$ in a commutative Noetherian ring $R$ of prime characteristic $p$. The formal definition requires, on the face of things, an infinite number of checks to determine whether or not…
Let $R$ be an excellent Noetherian ring of prime characteristic. Consider an arbitrary nested pair of ideals (or more generally, a nested pair of submodules of a fixed finite module). We do \emph{not} assume that their quotient has finite…
In this note, we use the theory of test ideals and Cartier algebras to examine the interplay between the tight and integral closures in a local ring of positive characteristic. Using work of Schwede, we prove the abundance of strong test…
In this note, a condition (\emph{open persistence}) is presented under which a (pre)closure operation on submodules (resp. ideals) over rings of global sections over a scheme $X$ can be extended to a (pre)closure operation on sheaves of…
In two recent papers, the author has developed a theory of graded annihilators of left modules over the Frobenius skew polynomial ring over a commutative Noetherian ring $R$ of prime characteristic $p$, and has shown that this theory is…
Extended plus (epf) closure and rank 1 (r1f) closure are two closure operations introduced by Raymond C. Heitmann for rings of mixed characteristic. Recently, he and Linquan Ma proved that epf closure satisfies the usual colon-capturing…
Building on the work of \.{I}nan and of Almahariq--Peters--Vergili, we develop an axiomatic framework for approximate algebra based on an algebra-compatible closure operator $\Phi^{\!*}$ on a unital ring. The operator is assumed to be…
In this paper, we introduce the notions of tight closure of ideals on Witt rings and quasi-tightly closedness of system of parameters. By using the notions, we obtain a characterization of quasi-$F$-rationality. Furthermore, we study the…
In this work we attempt to generalize our result in [6] [7] for real rings (not just von Neumann regular real rings). In other words we attempt to characterize and construct real closure * of commutative unitary rings that are real. We also…
Let $R$ be a (commutative Noetherian) local ring of prime characteristic that is $F$-pure. This paper studies a certain finite set ${\mathcal I}$ of radical ideals of $R$ that is naturally defined by the injective envelope of the simple…
We introduce a new variant of tight closure associated to any fixed ideal $\a$, which we call $\a$-tight closure, and study various properties thereof. In our theory, the annihilator ideal $\tau(\a)$ of all $\a$-tight closure relations,…
Ends and end cohomology are powerful invariants for the study of noncompact spaces. We present a self-contained exposition of the topological theory of ends and prove novel extensions including the existence of an exhaustion of a proper…
Test ideals are an important concept in tight closure theory and their behavior via flat base change can be very difficult to understand. Our paper presents results regarding this behavior under flat maps with reasonably nice (but far from…
