We study the vanishing of (co)homology along ring homomorphisms for modules that admit certain filtrations, and generalize a theorem of O. Celikbas-Takahashi. Our work produces new classes of rigid and test modules, in particular over local…

A nontrivial element in a group is a generalized torsion element if some nonempty finite product of its conjugates is the identity. We prove that any generalized torsion element in a free product of torsion-free groups is conjugate to a…

In this paper, we investigate the maximal Cohen-Macaulay property of tensor products of modules, and then give criteria for projectivity of modules in terms of vanishing of Ext modules. One of the applications shows that the…

For the general linear group $GL_n(k)$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p$, there are two types of "twisting" operations that arise naturally on partitions. These are of the form $\lambda \rightarrow p\lambda$ and…

Let $S$ be a deeply embedded, equicharacteristic, Artinian Gorenstein local ring. We prove that if $R$ is a non-Gorenstein quotient of $S$ of small colength, then every totally reflexive $R$-module is free. Indeed, the second syzygy of the…

Let (A,m_A) -> (B,m_B) be a local morphism of local noetherian rings and M a finitely generated B-module. Then it follows from Tor^A_1(M,A/m_A) = 0 that M is a flat A-module. This is usually called the "local criterion of flatness". We give…

We consider some existing results regarding rings for which the classes of torsion-free and non-singular right modules coincide. Here, a right $R$-module $M$ is non-singular if $xI$ is nonzero for every nonzero $x \in M$ and every essential…

Let $G$ be a simple, simply connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic $p>0$. Recent work of Kildetoft and Nakano and of Sobaje has shown close connections between two long-standing conjectures of…

In this paper, we realize polynomial $\H$-modules $\Omega(\lambda,\alpha,\beta)$ from irreducible twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro modules $\A_{\alpha,\beta}$. It follows from $\H$-modules $\Omega(\lambda,\alpha,\beta)$ and $\mathrm{Ind}(M)$…

In this note, it is proved that over a commutative noetherian henselian non-Gorenstein local ring there are infinitely many isomorphism classes of indecomposable totally reflexive modules, if there is a nonfree cyclic totally reflexive…

We show that every deconstructible class of modules with all embeddings, all pure embedding and all RD-embeddings is stable. The argument is presented in the context of abstract classes of modules without amalgamation and the key idea is to…

We study the existence of nontrivial semidualizing DG modules over tensor products of DG algebras over a field. In particular, this gives a lower bound on the number of semidualizing DG modules over the tensor product.

We study the tensor category $\cQ$ of tilting modules over a quantum group $U_q$ with divided powers. The set $X_+$ of dominant weights is a union of closed alcoves $\oC_w$ numbered by the elements $w\in W^f$ of a certain subset of affine…

We investigate the behavior of Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity with respect to some classical functors : Tor, the Frobenius functor in positive characteristic, taking a power or a product (on ideals). These generalizes and refines previous…

A commutative Noetherian ring $R$ is said to be Tor-persistent if, for any finitely generated $R$-module $M$, the vanishing of $\operatorname{Tor}_i^R(M,M)$ for $i\gg 0$ implies $M$ has finite projective dimension. An open question of…

Let $M$ be a finite dimensional modular representation of a finite group $G$. We consider the generating function for the non-projective part of the tensor powers of $M$, and we write $\gamma_G(M)$ for the reciprocal of the radius of…

This paper studies the tensor product of flat cotorsion modules. Let~$R$~and $S$ be~$k$-algebras. We prove that both~$R$-module\ $M$ and~$S$-module\ $N$ are flat cotorsion modules if and only if~$M\otimes_{k} N$ is a flat…

We prove that the module categories of Noether algebras (i.e., algebras module finite over a noetherian center) and affine noetherian PI algebras over a field enjoy the following product property: Whenever a direct product $\prod_{n \in…

Nontrivial pairs of zero-divisors in group rings are introduced and discussed. A problem on the existence of nontrivial pairs of zero-divisors in group rings of free Burnside groups of odd exponent $n \gg 1$ is solved in the affirmative.…

The Steinberg tensor product theorem is a fundamental result in the modular representation theory of reductive algebraic groups. It describes any finite-dimensional simple module of highest weight $\lambda$ over such a group as the tensor…
