Let $R$ be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring, $I$ a strongly Cohen-Macaulay ideal of $R$. We show that $R/{\rm Ann}_R(I)$ is a maximal Cohen-Macaulay $R$-module by means of the delta-invariant. Also it is shown that there exists a Cohen-Macaulay…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $\fa$ an ideal of $R$ and $\mathcal{D}(R)$ denote the derived category of $R$-modules. We investigate the theory of local homology in conjunction with Gorenstein flat modules. Let $X$ be a…

The purpose of this paper is to introduce new invariants of Cohen-Macaulay local rings. Our focus is the class of Cohen-Macaulay local rings that admit a canonical ideal. Attached to each such ring R with a canonical ideal C, there are…

We prove a tight connection between reflexive modules over a one-dimensional ring $R$ and its birational extensions that are self-dual as $R$-modules. Consequently, we show that a complete local reduced Arf ring has finitely many…

Let $(R,\mathfrak m)$ denote an $n$-dimensional complete local Gorenstein ring. For an ideal $I$ of $R$ let $H^i_I(R), i \in \mathbb Z,$ denote the local cohomology modules of $R$ with respect to $I.$ If $H^i_I(R) = 0$ for all $i \not= c =…

Motivated by the definition of nearly Gorenstein rings, we introduce the notion of full-trace modules over commutative Noetherian local rings--namely, finitely generated modules whose trace equals the maximal ideal. We investigate the…

In the present paper we investigate a question stemming from a long-standing conjecture of Vasconcelos: given a generically a complete intersection perfect ideal I in a regular local ring R, is it true that if I/I^2 (or R/I^2) is…

Let $T$ be a local (Noetherian) ring and let $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ be prime ideals of $T$. We find sufficient conditions for there to exist a quasi-excellent local subring $B$ of $T$ satisfying the following conditions: (1) the completion of $B$…

In this article we investigate when a complete ideal in a two-dimensional regular local ring is a multiplier ideal of some ideal with an integral multiplying parameter. In particular, we show that this question is closely connected to the…

Let R be a local complete ring. For an R-module M the canonical ring map R\to End_R(M) is in general neither injective nor surjective; we show that it is bijective for every local cohomology module M := H^h_I(R) if H^l_I(R) = 0 for every…

The aim of this survey is to discuss invariants of Cohen-Macaulay local rings that admit a canonical module. Attached to each such ring R with a canonical ideal C, there are integers--the type of R, the reduction number of C--that provide…

The Cohen-Macaulay type of idealizations of maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over Cohen-Macaulay local rings is explored. There are two extremal cases, one of which is closely related to the theory of Ulrich modules \cite{BHU, GOTWY1, GOTWY2,…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring. We characterize when its completion has an isolated singularity, thereby strengthening the Dao-Takahashi refinement of the Auslander-Huneke-Leuschke-Wiegand theorem. We investigate the ascent…

Thirty years ago, Huneke (for local rings) and Lyubeznik (in general) conjectured that for all regular rings $R$, the local cohomology modules $H^i_I(R)$ have finitely many associated prime ideals. We prove substantial new cases of their…

This paper considers the following conjecture: If $R$ is an unmixed, equidimensional local ring that is a homomorphic image of a Cohen-Macaulay local ring, then for any ideal $J$ generated by a system of parameters, the Chern coefficient…

For given integers $m,n \geq 2$ there are examples of ideals $I$ of complete determinantal local rings $(R,\mathfrak{m}), \dim R = m+n-1, \operatorname{grade} I = n-1,$ with the canonical module $\omega_R$ and the property that the socle…

The aim of this note is to study the class of one dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local rings, $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ say, possessing a canonical ideal $K$ which is a reduction of $\mathfrak{m}$. We call $R$ to have canonical reduction $K$. We show…

Let R be a local Noetherian commutative ring. We prove that R is an Artinian Gorenstein ring if and only if every ideal in R is a trace ideal. We discuss when the trace ideal of a module coincides with its double annihilator.

We study finitely generated modules of minimal multiplicity, a notion introduced by Puthenpurakal that extends the classical concept of minimal multiplicity from rings to modules. Our main result characterizes when trace ideals or reflexive…

In this paper we consider reduced (non-normal) commutative noetherian rings $R$. With the help of conductor ideals and trace ideals of certain $R$-modules we deduce a criterion for a reflexive $R$-module to be closed under multiplication…
