Let $\mathfrak{q}$ denote an ideal of a local ring $(A,\mathfrak{m})$. For a system of elements $\underline{a} = a_1,\ldots,a_t$ such that $a_i \in \mathfrak{q}^{c_i}, i = 1, \ldots,t,$ and $n \in \mathbb{Z}$ we investigate a subcomplex…

We assign to a finite $CW$-complex and an element in its first cohomology group a twisted version of the $L^2$-Euler characteristic and study its main properties. In the case of an irreducible orientable $3$-manifold with empty or toroidal…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring. An $R$-module $M$ is called a semi-regular $w$-flat module if $\Tor_1^R(R/I,M)$ is $\GV$-torsion for any finitely generated semi-regular ideal $I$. In this article, we show that the class of semi-regular…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian ring, $I$ an ideal of $R$ and $M$ an $R$-module with $\operatorname{cd}(I,M)=c$. In this article, we first show that there exists a descending chain of ideals $I=I_c\supsetneq I_{c-1}\supsetneq \cdots \supsetneq I_0$…

For finitely generated modules $N \subsetneq M$ over a Noetherian ring $R$, we study the following properties about primary decomposition: (1) The Compatibility property, which says that if $\ass (M/N)=\{P_1, P_2, ..., P_s\}$ and $Q_i$ is a…

This gives an alternate proof of the Theorem by the authors that shows the first Hilbert coefficient of parameter ideals in an unmixed Noetherian local ring is always negative unless the ring is Cohen--Macaulay.

Let $I$ be a homogeneous ideal in the polynomial ring $R = k[z_1, \cdots, z_n]$ , where $k$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Macaulay's Theorem provides constraints on the Hilbert function of $I$ or $R/I$ from one…

We extend some properties of a pair of ideals described in terms of Tor modules to any number of ideals, including the well-known rigidity property. Those extensions require the development of a homological theory for spectral sequences…

In this article we determine the structure of a twisted first cohomology group of the first homology of a trivalent graph with a coefficient associated with the quantum Clebsch-Gordan condition. As an application we give a characterization…

In this paper, we introduce initially Cohen-Macaulay modules over a commutative Noetherian local ring $R$, a new class of $R$-modules that generalizes both Cohen-Macaulay and sequentially Cohen-Macaulay modules. A finitely generated…

We study the homology group of the Milnor fiber boundary of a hyperplane arrangement in $\mathbb{C}^{3}$. By the work of N\'emethi--Szil\'ard, the homeomorphism type of the Milnor fiber boundary is combinatorially determined, and an…

Let $(R,\m)$ be a Noetherian local ring. Consider the notion of homological dimension of a module, denoted H-dim, for H= Reg, CI, CI$_*$, G, G$^*$ or CM. We prove that, if for a finite $R$-module $M$ of positive depth, $\Hd_R({\m}^iM)$ is…

Criteria are given in terms of certain Hilbert coefficients for the fiber cone F(I) of an m-primary ideal I in a Cohen-Macaulay local ring (R,m) so that it is Cohen-Macaulay or has depth at least dim(R)-1. A version of Huneke's fundamental…

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,…

In a Cohen-Macaulay local ring $(A, \mathfrak{m})$, we study the Hilbert function of an integrally closed $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal $I$ whose reduction number is three. With a mild assumption we give an inequality $\ell_A(A/I) \ge…

The Euler characteristic can be defined as a special kind of valuation on finite distributive lattices. This work begins with some brief consideration on the role of the Euler characteristic on NM algebras, the algebraic counterpart of…
