We prove two results about the derived functor of $a$-adic completion: (1) Let $K$ be a commutative noetherian ring, let $A$ be a flat noetherian $K$-algebra which is $a$-adically complete with respect to some ideal $a\subseteq A$, such…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a regular local ring of dimension $d \geq 1$, $I$ an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal. Let $N$ be a non-zero finitely generated $A$-module. Consider the functions \[ t^I(N, n) = \sum_{i = 0}^{ d}\ell(\text{Tor}^A_i(N,…

A classical theorem of Forster asserts that a finite module $M$ of rank $\leq n$ over a Noetherian ring of Krull dimension $d$ can be generated by $n + d$ elements. We prove a generalization of this result, with "module" replaced by…

In a previous paper, the third author proved that finite-degree polynomial functors over infinite fields are topologically Noetherian. In this paper, we prove that the same holds for polynomial functors from free $R$-modules to finitely…

Consider the obvious functor from the unbounded derived category of all finitely generated modules over a left noetherian ring $R$ to the unbounded derived category of all modules. We answer the natural question whether this functor defines…

Let A be a noetherian commutative ring, and let I be an ideal in A. We study questions of flatness and I-adic completeness for infinitely generated A-modules. This is done using the notions of decaying function and I-adically free A-module.

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $I$ an ideal, $M$ and $N$ finitely generated $R$-modules. Assume $V(I)\cap Supp(M)\cap Supp(N)$ consists of finitely many maximal ideals and let ${\l}(\e^i(N/I^nN,M))$ denote the length of…

Let $(R,\m)$ and $(S,\n)$ be commutative Noetherian local rings, and let $\phi:R\to S$ be a flat local homomorphism such that $\m S = \n$ and the induced map on residue fields $R/\m \to S/\n$ is an isomorphism. Given a finitely generated…

Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring, I and J ideals of R and M a finitely generated R-module. Let F be a covariant R-linear functor from the category of finitely generated R-modules to itself. We first show that if F is coherent, then…

It is proved that a module $M$ over a Noetherian ring $R$ of positive characteristic $p$ has finite flat dimension if there exists an integer $t\ge 0$ such that $\operatorname{Tor}_i^R(M, {}^{f^{e}}\!R)=0$ for $t\le i\le t+\dim R$ and…

We consider $\,R-$modules as functors in the following way: if $\,M\,$ is a (left) $R$-module, let $\,\mathcal M\,$ be the functor of $\,\mathcal R-$modules defined by $\,\mathcal M(S) := S \otimes_R M\,$ for every $\,R-$algebra $\,S$. With…

Motivated by work of C. U. Jensen, R.-O. Buchweitz, and H. Flenner, we prove the following result. Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $a$ an ideal in the Jacobson radical of $R$. Let $\hat{R}^a$ be the $a$-adic completion of $R$.…
