In this note, we investigate the notion of $S$-flat preenvelopes of modules. In particular, we give an example that a ring $R$ being coherent does not imply that every $R$-module have an $S$-flat preenvelope, giving a negative answer to the…

We investigate symmetry in the vanishing of Ext for finitely generated modules over local Gorenstein rings. In particular, we define a class of local Gorenstein rings, which we call AB rings, and show that for finitely generated modules $M$…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the class of rings for which every indecomposable right module is pure-projective or pure-injective. When $R$ is a Noetherian local commutative ring of maximal ideal $P$, it is proven that $R\in\mathcal{P}$ if and only…

Let R be any ring (with 1), \Gamma a group and R\Gamma the corresponding group ring. Let Ext_{R\Gamma}^{*}(M,M) be the cohomology ring associated to the R\Gamma-module M. Let H be a subgroup of finite index of \Gamma. The following is a…

We introduce analogues of Soergel bimodules for complex reflection groups of rank one. We give an explicit parametrization of the indecomposable objects of the resulting category and give a presentation of its split Grothendieck ring by…

We define a generalization $\mathfrak{G}$ of the Grassmann algebra $G$ which is well-behaved over arbitrary commutative rings $C$, even when $2$ is not invertible. In particular, this enables us to define a notion of superalgebras that does…

For a tensor ring $T_R(M)$, under certain conditions, we characterize the Gorenstein projective modules over $T_R(M)$, and prove that a $T_R(M)$-module $(X,u)$ is Gorenstein projective if and only if $u$ is monomorphic and ${\rm coker}(u)$…

Tensor products usually have nonzero torsion. This is a central theme of Auslander's paper "Modules over unramified regular local rings"; the theme continues in the work of Huneke and Wiegand. The main focus in this note is on tensor powers…

We present a variant of the Peskine--Szpiro Acyclicity Lemma, and hence a way to certify exactness of a complex of finite modules over a large class of (possibly) noncommutative rings. Specifically, over the class of Auslander regular…

We establish a link between trace modules and rigidity in modules over Noetherian rings. Using the theory of trace ideals we make partial progress on a question of Dao, and on the Auslander-Reiten conjecture over Artinian Gorenstein rings.

Of the many interesting insights in the Auslander-Bridger Memoir of 1969, the theory of Gorenstein dimension has most often been taken up by commutative algebraists. Over a local ring, it deals with resolutions by modules which are totally…

Let R be a commutative ring, and let L and L' be R-modules. We investigate finiteness conditions (e.g., noetherian, artinian, mini-max, Matlis reflexive) of the modules Ext^i_R(L,L') and Tor_i^R(L,L') when L and L' satisfy combinations of…

In this paper we mainly study the homological properties of dual modules over $k$-Gorenstein rings. For a right quasi $k$-Gorenstein ring $\Lambda$, we show that the right self-injective dimension of $\Lambda$ is at most $k$ if and only if…

It is proved that every commutative ring whose RD-injective modules are $\Sigma$-RD-injective is the product of a pure semi-simple ring and a finite ring. A complete characterization of commutative rings for which each artinian…

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…

The long-standing Auslander and Reiten Conjecture states that a finitely generated module over a finite-dimensional algebra is projective if certain Ext-groups vanish. Several authors, including Avramov, Buchweitz, Iyengar, Jorgensen,…

Let $S$ be a module finite birational extension of a $1$-dimensional local Cohen--Macaulay ring $R$. When is the conductor of $S$ in $R$ a stable ideal? If $R$ is also generically Gorenstein, then we show that the conductor of $S$ in $R$ is…

We study the category of Sp-equivariant modules over the infinite variable polynomial ring, where Sp denotes the infinite symplectic group. We establish a number of results about this category: for instance, we show that every finitely…

Given a two-sided noetherian ring $A$ with a dualizing complex, we show that the big finitistic dimension of $A$ is finite if and only if every bounded below Gorenstein-projective-acyclic cochain complex of Gorenstein-projective $A$-modules…

Let $R$ be a perfect ring and $T$ be an $R$-module. We study characterizations of sincere modules, sincere silting modules and tilting modules in terms of various vanishing conditions. It is proved that $T$ is sincere silting if and only if…
