In this paper we present characterizations of sequentially Cohen-Macaulay modules in terms of systems of parameters, which are generalizations of well-known results on Cohen-Macaulay and generalized Cohen-Macaulay modules. The sequentially…

Let R be a commutative ring with identity and S a multiplicative subset of R. The aim of this paper is to study the class of commutative rings in which every S-flat module is flat (resp., projective). An R-module M is said to be S-flat if…

We prove upper bounds for the graded Betti numbers of Stanley-Reisner rings of balanced simplicial complexes. Along the way we show bounds for Cohen-Macaulay graded rings $S/I$, where $S$ is a polynomial ring and $I\subseteq S$ is an…

Let S be a standard N^r-graded algebra over a local ring A, and let M be a finitely generated Z^r-graded S-module. We characterize the Cohen-Macaulayness of M in terms of the vanishing of certain sheaf cohomology modules. As a consequence,…

Let (A, m) be a Noetherian local ring and N a parameter module in F=A^r and M=N:_F m the socle module of N. In this paper, we shall prove that the module M=N:_F m has a reduction number at most one and hence its Rees algebra R(M) is…

Let R be a commutative noetherian local ring that is not Gorenstein. It is known that the category of totally reflexive modules over R is representation infinite, provided that it contains a non-free module. The main goal of this paper is…

Given a graph $G$ whose edges are labeled by ideals of a commutative ring $R$ with identity, a generalized spline is a vertex labeling of $G$ by the elements of $R$ so that the difference of labels on adjacent vertices is an element of the…

Let R be a commutative noetherian local ring. A finitely generated R-module C is semidualizing if it is self-orthogonal and satisfies the condition Hom_R(C,C) \cong R. We prove that a Cohen-Macaulay ring R with dualizing module D admits a…

Let A be a local ring which admits an exact pair x,y of zero divisors as defined by Henriques and Sega. Assuming that this pair is regular and that there exists a regular element on the A-module A/(x,y), we explicitly construct an infinite…

Let $R$ be a ring and $S$ a multiplicative subset of $R$. Then $R$ is called a uniformly $S$-Noetherian ($u$-$S$-Noetherian for abbreviation) ring provided there exists an element $s\in S$ such that for any ideal $I$ of $R$, $sI \subseteq…

Let $K$ be a field, $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_m, y_1,\ldots,y_n]$ be a standard bigraded polynomial ring and $M$ a finitely generated bigraded $S$-module. In this paper we study sequentially Cohen--Macaulayness of $M$ with respect to…

We study reflexive modules over one dimensional Cohen-Macaulay rings. Our key technique exploits the concept of $I$-Ulrich modules.

The paper constructs an `exotic' algebraic 2-complex over the generalized quaternion group of order 28, with the boundary maps given by explicit matrices over the group ring. This result depends on showing that a certain ideal of the group…

In this paper, we construct and classify a class of non-weight modules over the BMS-Kac-Moody algebra, which are free modules of rank one when restricted to the universal enveloping algebra of the Cartan subalgebra (modulo center). We give…

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…

Let R be a noetherian ring which is a finite module over its centre Z(R). This paper studies the consequences for R of the hypothesis that it is a maximal Cohen Macaulay Z(R)-module. Old results are reviewed and a number of new results are…

Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring, a a proper ideal of R and M a finite R-module. It is shown that, if (R;m) is a complete local ring, then under certain conditions a contains a regular element on DR(Hc a(M)), where c = cd(a;M). A…

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…

Finitely generated reflexive modules over commutative Noetherian rings form a key component of Auslander and Bridger's stable module theory and are likewise essential in the study of Cohen--Macaulay representations. Recently, H. Dao…

Let $R/S$ be a Frobenius extension and $k$ be a positive integer. We prove that an $R$-module is $k$-torsionfree if and only if so is its underlying $S$-module. As an application, we obtain that if $S$ is a quasi $k$-Gorenstein ring then so…
