Let $(R, {\mathfrak m})$ be a Noetherian local ring and let $I$ be an ${\mathfrak m}$-primary ideal. In this paper we give sharp bounds on the multiplicity of the special fiber ring ${\mathcal F}$ of $I$ in terms of other well-known…

A "squarefree module" over a polynomial ring $S = k[x_1, .., x_n]$ is a generalization of a Stanley-Reisner ring, and allows us to apply homological methods to the study of monomial ideals systematically. Let $Sq$ be the category of…

Using vanishing of graded components of local cohomology modules of the Rees algebra of the normal filtration of an ideal, we give bounds on the normal reduction number. This helps to get necessary and sufficient conditions in…

A well-known result of K\"{o}the and Cohen-Kaplansky states that a commutative ring $R$ has the property that every $R$-module is a direct sum of cyclic modules if and only if $R$ is an Artinian principal ideal ring. This motivated us to…

Generic Bourbaki ideals were introduced by Simis, Ulrich and Vasconcelos to study the Cohen-Macaulay property of Rees algebras of modules. In this article we prove that the same technique can sometimes be used to investigate the…

A finitely generated module over a commutative noetherian ring of finite Krull dimension can be built from the prime ideals in the singular locus by iteration of three procedures: taking extensions, direct summands, and cosyzygies. In 2003…

In this paper, an algebraic theory for local rings of finite embedding dimension is developed. Several extensions of (Krull) dimension are proposed, which are then used to generalize singularity notions from commutative algebra. Finally,…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $M$ be a finitely generated $R$-module. Considering the new concept of linkage of ideals over a module, we study associated prime ideals, cofiniteness and Artinianness of local cohomology modules…

This paper is concerned about the relation between local cohomology modules defined by a pair of ideals and Serre classes of R-modules, as a generalization of results of J. Azami, R. Naghipour and B. Vakili (2009) and M. Asgharzadeh and…

We discuss invariants of Cohen-Macaulay local rings that admit a canonical module $\omega$. Attached to each such ring R, when $\omega$ is an ideal, there are integers--the type of R, the reduction number of $\omega$--that provide valuable…

Our goal is to determine when the trivial extensions of commutative rings by modules are Cohen-Macaulay in the sense of Hamilton and Marley. For this purpose, we provide a generalization of the concept of Cohen-Macaulayness of rings to…

Let $A$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring with maximal ideal $\mathfrak{m}$, and let $I$ be an ideal. The fiber cone is then an image of the polynomial ring over the residue field $A/\mathfrak{m}$. The kernel of this map is called the…

Recent results of Kahle and Miller give a method of constructing primary decompositions of binomial ideals by first constructing "mesoprimary decompositions" determined by their underlying monoid congruences. These mesoprimary…

Let $(R, \frak m)$ denote a local Cohen-Macaulay ring and $I$ a non-nilpotent ideal of $R$. The purpose of this article is to investigate Faltings' finiteness dimension $f_I(R)$ and equidimensionalness of certain homomorphic image of $R$.…

We introduce the notion of b-sequence for finitely generated modules over Noetherian rings, which characterizes long Bourbaki sequences. Our main concern is an application of this notion to generalized Cohen-Macaulay approximation, which we…

We provide a certain direct-sum decomposition of reflexive modules over (one-dimensional) Arf local rings. We also see the equivalence of three notions, say, integrally closed ideals, trace ideals, and reflexive modules of rank one (i.e.,…

We give bounds for the number and the size of the primes $p$ such that a reduction modulo $p$ of a system of multivariate polynomials over the integers with a finite number $T$ of complex zeros, does not have exactly $T$ zeros over the…

This thesis is a study of various ways of measuring the size and complexity of finitely generated modules over a Noetherian local ring. The classical example is the multiplicity or degree. Here we investigate several variants of the degree…

It is shown that in a Cohen-Macaulay local ring, the generic linkage of an ideal $I$ is a deformation of the arbitrary linkage of $I$. This fact does not need $I$ to be a Cohen-Macaulay ideal. The same holds for $s$-residual intersections…

Let $C \subset {\bf N}^d$ be an affine semigroup, and $R=K[C]$ its semigroup ring. This paper is a collection of various results on "$C$-graded" $R$-modules, especially, monomial ideals. For example, we show the following: If $R$ is normal…
