For finitely generated modules M and N over a complete intersection R, the vanishing of Tor_i^R(M,N) for all i> 0 gives a tight relationship among depth properties of M, N and their tensor product. Here we concentrate on the converse and…

Given finitely generated modules $M$ and $N$ over a local ring $R$, the tensor product $M\otimes_RN$ typically has nonzero torsion. Indeed, the assumption that the tensor product is torsion-free influences the structure and vanishing of the…

Let R be a commutative Noetherian domain, and let M and N be finitely generated R-modules. We give new criteria for determining when M tensor N has torsion. We also give constructive formulas for producing a module in the isomorphism class…

Over a one-dimensional Gorenstein local domain $R$, let $E$ be the endomorphism ring of the maximal of $R$, viewed as a subring of the integral closure $\overline R$. If there exist finitely generated $R$-modules $M$ and $N$, neither of…

Huneke and Wiegand conjectured that, if $M$ is a finitely generated, non-free, torsion-free module with rank over a one-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local ring $R$, then the tensor product of $M$ with its algebraic dual has torsion. This…

Let $R$ be a local complete intersection ring and let $M$ and $N$ be nonzero finitely generated $R$-modules. We employ Auslander's transpose in the study of the vanishing of Tor and obtain useful bounds for the depth of the tensor product…

We investigate homological and depth-theoretic properties of finitely generated modules of finite projective dimension over Noetherian local rings. A central theme is the study of criteria for freeness and reflexivity derived from the…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring. We study tensor products involving a finitely generated $R$-module $M$ through the natural action of its endomorphism ring. In particular, we study torsion properties of self tensor products…

In this paper, motivated by a work of Luk and Yau, and Huneke and Wiegand, we study various aspects of the cohomological rigidity property of tensor product of modules over commutative Noetherian rings. We determine conditions under which…

A conjecture of Huneke and Wiegand claims that, over one-dimensional commutative Noetherian local domains, the tensor product of a finitely generated, non-free, torsion-free module with its algebraic dual always has torsion. Building on a…

In this paper we introduce techniques to gauge the torsion of the tensor product $A\otimes_RB$ of two finitely generated modules over a Noetherian ring $R$. The outlook is very different from the study of the rigidity of Tor carried out in…

We study the classes of modules which are generated by a silting module. In the case of either hereditary or perfect rings it is proved that these are exactly the torsion $\mathcal{T}$ such that the regular module has a special…

The depth of tensor product of modules over a Gorenstein local ring is studied. For finitely generated modules M and N over a Gorenstein local ring R, under some assumptions on the vanishing of finite number of Tate and relative homology…

In this paper, we study Serre's condition $(S_n)$ for tensor products of modules over a commutative noetherian local ring. The paper aims to show the following. Let $M$ and $N$ be finitely generated module over a commutative noetherian…

Let R be a commutative noetherian ring. Denote by mod R the category of finitely generated R-modules. In this paper, we study n-torsionfree modules in the sense of Auslander and Bridger, by comparing them with n-syzygy modules, and modules…

In this paper, we consider finitely generated modules over commutative Noetherian rings whose tensor products have finite projective dimension. We construct examples of modules of infinite projective dimension (and also of infinite…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian commutative ring and $M$ an $R$-module with $\operatorname{pd_R} M\le 1$ that has rank. Necessary and sufficient conditions were provided by Lebelt for an exterior power $\wedge^k M$ to be torsion free. When $M$ is…

We determine the submodule of finite support of the tensor product of two modules M and N over a local ring and estimate its length in terms of $M$ and $N$. Also, we compute higher local cohomology modules of tensor products in a serial of…
