In this paper we show that the Rees algebra can be made into a functor on modules over a ring in a way that extends its classical definition for ideals. The Rees algebra of a module M may be computed in terms of a "maximal" map f from M to…

This paper concerns a generalization of the Rees algebra of ideals due to Eisenbud, Huneke and Ulrich that works for any finitely generated module over a noetherian ring. Their definition is in terms of maps to free modules. We give an…

We compute the canonical class of certain Rees algebras. Our formula generalizes that of Herzog and Vasconcelos. Its proof relies on the fact that the formation of the canonical module commutes with subintersections in important cases. As…

Reflexive functors of modules naturally appear in Algebraic Geometry, mainly in the theory of linear representations of group schemes, and in "duality theories". In this paper we study and determine reflexive functors and we give many…

We deal with classes of prime ideals whose associated graded ring is isomorphic to the Rees algebra of the conormal module in order to describe the divisor class group of the Rees algebra and to examine the normality of the conormal module.

Reflexive functors of modules naturally appear in Algebraic Geometry. In this paper we define a wide and elementary family of reflexive functors of modules, closed by tensor products and homomorphisms, in which Algebraic Geometry can be…

Let $V$ be a smooth scheme over a field $k$, and let $\{I_n, n\geq 0\}$ be a filtration of sheaves of ideals in $\calo_V$, such that $I_0=\calo_V$, and $I_s\cdot I_t\subset I_{s+t}$. In such case $\bigoplus I_n$ is called a Rees algebra. A…

We classify canonical algebras such that for every dimension vector of a regular module the corresponding module variety is normal (respectively, a complete intersection). We also prove that for the dimension vectors of regular modules…

Let $A$ be a symbolic (or an extended symbolic) Rees algebra (need not be Noetherian) of dimension $d$. Let $P$ be a finitely generated projective $A$-module of rank $\geq$ $d$. Then P has a unimodular element. This improves the classical…

This is a survey on the usage of the module theoretic notion of a "retractable module" in the study of algebras with actions. We explain how classical results can be interpreted using module theory and end the paper with some open…

Connections between heaps of modules and (affine) modules over rings are explored. This leads to explicit, often constructive, descriptions of some categorical constructions and properties that are implicit in universal algebra and…

For an irreducible affine variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero we define two new classes of modules over the Lie algebra of vector fields on $X$ - gauge modules and Rudakov modules, which admit a compatible…

We study the projective spectrum of the Rees algebra of a module, and characterize it by a universal property. As applications, we give descriptions of universal flatifications of modules and of birational projective morphisms.

Let $I \subset R = \mathbb{F}[x_1,x_2]$ be a height two ideal minimally generated by three homogeneous polynomials of the same degree $d$, where $\mathbb{F}$ is a field of characteristic zero. We use the theory of $D$-modules to deduce…

This paper shows that mixed multiplicities and the multiplicity of Rees modules of good filtrations and that of their reductions are the same. As an application of this result, we obtain interesting results on mixed multiplicities and the…

Inspired by the perspective of Reyes' noncomutative spectral theory, we attempt to develop noncommutative algebraic geometry by introducing ringed coalgebras, which can be thought of as a noncommutative generalization of schemes over a…

We provide a construction of Roe (C*-)algebras of general coarse spaces in terms of coarse geometric modules. This extends the classical theory of Roe algebras of metric spaces and gives a unified framework to deal with either uniform or…

Let $R$ be an associative ring with unit. Given an $R$-module $M$, we can associate the following covariant functor from the category of $R$-algebras to the category of abelian groups: $S\mapsto M\otimes_R S$. With the corresponding notion…

We give a proof of openness of versality using coherent functors. As an application, we streamline Artin's criterion for algebraicity of a stack. We also introduce multi-step obstruction theories, employing them to produce obstruction…

The aim of this work is to study the ring-theoretic properties of the diagonals of a Rees algebra, which from a geometric point of view are the homogeneous coordinate rings of embeddings of blow-ups of projective varieties along a…
