Let $(R,\mathfrak{m},K)$ be an $F$-finite Noetherian local ring which has a canonical ideal $I \subsetneq R$. We prove that if $R$ is $S_2$ and $H^{d-1}_{\mathfrak{m}}(R/I)$ is a simple $R\{F\}$-module, then $R$ is a strongly $F$-regular…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Noetherian local ring and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module. We say $M$ has maximal depth if there is an associated prime $\mathfrak{p}$ of $M$ such that depth $M=\dim R/\mathfrak{p}$. In this paper, we study…

Let $(R, {\frak m})$ be a local ring, $I$ a proper ideal of $R$ and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module of dimension $d$. We discuss the local homology modules of $H^d_I(M)$. When $M$ is Cohen-Macaulay, it is proved that $H^d_{{\frak…

Let $\Omega\subset{\mathbb R}^n$ be a relatively compact domain. A finite collection of real-valued functions on $\Omega$ is called a \emph{Noetherian chain} if the partial derivatives of each function are expressible as polynomials in the…

We study the K'-theory of a CM Henselian local ring R of finite Cohen-Macaulay type. We first describe a long exact sequence involving the groups $K_i'(R)$ and the K-groups of certain other rings, including the Auslander algebra. By…

This thesis is a study of various ways of measuring the size and complexity of finitely generated modules over a Noetherian local ring. The classical example is the multiplicity or degree. Here we investigate several variants of the degree…

Let R be a local Noetherian domain of positive characteristic. A theorem of Hochster and Huneke (1992) states that if R is excellent, then the absolute integral closure of R is a big Cohen-Macaulay algebra. We prove that if R is the…

By finding a p-adic obstruction, we construct many examples of positive characteristic complete noetherian local rings which do not admit any module-finite Cohen-Macaulay extension. These examples should be contrasted with a result of…

In this note, we study the Cohen-Macaulayness of non-Noetherian rings. We show that Hochster's celebrated theorem that a finitely generated normal semigroup ring is Cohen-Macaulay does not extend to non-Noetherian rings. We also show that…

We associate to every equicharacteristic zero Noetherian local ring $R$ a faithfully flat ring extension which is an ultraproduct of rings of various prime characteristics, in a weakly functorial way. Since such ultraproducts carry…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Gorenstein local ring and let $M$ be a finitely generated Cohen Macaulay $A$ module. Let $G(A)=\bigoplus_{n\geq 0}\mathfrak{m}^n/\mathfrak{m}^{n+1}$ be the associated graded ring of $A$ and $G(M)=\bigoplus_{n\geq…

A finitely generated module $M$ over a local ring is called a sequentially generalized Cohen-Macaulay module if there is a filtration of submodules of $M$: $M_0\subset M_1\subset ... \subset M_t=M$ such that $\dim M_0<\dim M_1< >... <\dim…

Let $(R, \mathfrak m)$ be an unmixed Noetherian local ring, Q a parameter ideal and $K$ an $\mathfrak m$-primary ideal of $R$ containing $Q$. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for $R$ to be Cohen-Macaulay in terms of $g_0(Q)$ and…

Let R be a non-negatively graded Cohen-Macaulay ring with R_0 a Cohen-Macaulay factor ring of a local Gorenstein ring. Let d be the dimension of R, m be the maximal homogeneous ideal of R, and M be a finitely generated graded R-module. It…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring. The notion of regular sequences with respect to a Serre class of $R$-modules is introduced and some of their essential properties are given. Then in the local case, we explore a theory of…

In this paper, we investigate the relationship between the index of reducibility and Chern coefficients for primary ideals. As an application, we give characterizations of a Cohen-Macaulay ring in terms of its type, irreducible…

We prove that the Hilbert-Kunz function of the ideal $(I,It)$ of the Rees algebra $\mathcal{R}(I)$, where $I$ is an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal of a $1$-dimensional local ring $(R,\mathfrak{m})$, is a quasi-polynomial in $e$, for large…

Geoffrey Dietz introduced a set of axioms for a closure operation on a complete local domain R so that the existence of such a closure operation is equivalent to the existence of a big Cohen-Macaulay module. These closure operations are…

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…

In the paper, by the singular Riemann-Roch theorem, it is proved that the class of the e-th Frobenius power can be described using the class of the canonical module for a normal local ring of positive characteristic. As a corollary, we…
