We characterize the seminormality of an affine semigroup ring in terms of the dualizing complex, and the normality of a Cohen-Macaulay semigroup ring by the "shape" of the canonical module. We also characterize the seminormality of a toric…
We define the notion of the canonical module of a complex. We then consider Serre's conditions for a complex and study their relationship to the local cohomology of the canonical module and its ring of endomorphisms.
In this note we characterize the affine semigroup rings K[S] over an arbitrary field K that satisfy condition R_l of Serre. Our characterization is in terms of the face lattice of the positive cone pos(S) of S. We start by reviewing some…
Among the finitely generated modules over a Noetherian ring R, the semidualizing modules have been singled out due to their particularly nice duality properties. When R is a normal domain, we exhibit a natural inclusion of the set of…
A "toric face ring", which generalizes both Stanley-Reisner rings and affine semigroup rings, is studied by Bruns, Roemer and their coauthors recently. In this paper, under the "normality" assumption, we describe a dualizing complex of a…
We introduce the class of weakly log canonical singularities, a natural generalization of semi-log canonical singularities. Toric varieties (associated to toric face rings, possibly non-normal or reducible) which have weakly (semi-) log…
We describe "quasi canonical modules" for modular invariant rings $R$ of finite group actions on factorial Gorenstein domains. From this we derive a general "quasi Gorenstein criterion" in terms of certain 1-cocycles. This generalizes a…
The notion of "toric face rings" generalizes both Stanley-Reisner rings and affine semigroup rings, and has been studied by Bruns, Romer, et.al. Here, we will show that, for a toric face ring $R$, the "graded" Matlis dual of a Cech complex…
Let $R$ be a commutative noetherian ring. The $n$-semidualizing modules of $R$ are generalizations of its semidualizing modules. We will prove some basic properties of $n$-semidualizing modules. Our main result and example shows that the…
We establish a characterization of dualizing modules among semidualizing modules. Let R be a finite dimensional commutative Noetherian ring with identity and C a semidualizing R-module. We show that C is a dualizing R-module if and only if…
In the paper is we generalize known descriptions of rings of semi-invariants for regular modules over Euclidean and canonical algebras to arbitrary concealed-canonical algebras.
In this article, we shall characterize torsionfreeness of modules with respect to a semidualizing module in terms of the Serre's condition (S_n). As its applications, we give a characterization of Cohen-Macaulay rings R such that R_p is…
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…
Given a seminormal affine monoid M we consider several monoid properties of M and their connections to ring properties of the associated affine monoid ring K[M] over a field K. We characterize when K[M] satisfies Serre's condition (S_2) and…
In this paper we continue our study of modules satisfying the prime radical condition ($\mathbb{P}$-radical modules), that was introduced in Part I (see \cite{BS}). Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. The purpose of this paper is…
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring. The notion of regular sequences with respect to a Serre class of $R$-modules is introduced and some of their essential properties are given. Then in the local case, we explore a theory of…
We construct a higher level analogue of Dorey's rule, which describe certain surjective morphisms between Kirillov--Reshetikhin (KR) modules over quantum affine algebras. Building on this, we establish a generalized T-system of short exact…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring. An $R$-module $M$ is called a semi-regular $w$-flat module if $\Tor_1^R(R/I,M)$ is $\GV$-torsion for any finitely generated semi-regular ideal $I$. In this article, we show that the class of semi-regular…
Given a polarized abelian scheme with action by a ring, and a projective finitely presented module over that ring, Serre's tensor construction produces a new abelian scheme. We show that to equip these abelian schemes with polarizations…
We introduce a fundamental homological invariant, called Serre depth, which stratifies Serre's conditions in the same way that depth stratifies the Cohen-Macaulay property. We study the Serre depths of modules over arbitrary Noetherian…
