Local cohomology modules, even over a Noetherian ring $R$, are typically unwieldly. As such, it is of interest whether or not they have finitely many associated primes. We prove the affirmative in the case where $R$ is a Stanley-Reisner…

Let $M,N$ be finitely generated modules over a local complete intersection $R$. Assume that for each $i>0$, $\mathrm{Tor}^R_i(M,N)=0$. We prove that the cohomological support of $M\otimes_R N$ (in the sense of Avramov-Buchweitz) is equal to…

A Hausdorff topological semiring is called simple if every non-zero continuous homomorphism into another Hausdorff topological semiring is injective. Classical work by Anzai and Kaplansky implies that any simple compact ring is finite. We…

Let $D$ be a two-dimensional regular local ring. We prove there is a one-to-one correspondence between closed connected sets in the space of valuation overrings of $D$ that dominate $D$ and the integrally closed local overrings of $D$ that…

This paper studies finite projective dimension of finitely generated modules over a Noetherian local ring, by means of spectral sequence methods related to generalized local cohomology. Our main goal is to address a question raised by D.…

A generalization of the Hartogs theorem is proved for a class of Tubes structures. We assume that the intervening commutative Lie algebra admits at least a number of globally solvable generators greater or equal to the structure…

We establish a "second vanishing theorem" for local cohomology modules over regular rings of unramified mixed characteristic, which relates the connectedness of the spectrum of a ring with the vanishing of local cohomology. Applying this,…

Let \fa be an ideal of a commutative Noetherian ring R and M and N two finitely generated R-modules. Let \cd_{\fa}(M,N) denote the supremum of the i's such that H^i_{\fa}(M,N)\neq 0. First, by using the theory of Gorenstein homological…

A ring with a test module of finite upper complete intersection dimension is complete intersection.

We consider the moduli space of flat $SO(2n+1)$-connections (up to gauge transformations) on a Riemann surface, with fixed holonomy around a marked point. There are natural line bundles over this moduli space; we construct geometric…

For a horizontally linked module, over a commutative semiperfect Noetherian ring $R$, the connections of its invariants reduced grade, Gorenstein dimension and depth are studied. It is shown that under certain conditions the depth of a…

In this note ($R, m$) denotes a complete regular local ring and $B$ mostly denotes its absolute integral closure. The four objectives of this paper are the following: i) to determine the highest non-vanishing local cohomology of…

Let $A$ be a noetherian ring, $\fa$ an ideal of $A$, and $M$ an $A$--module. Some uniform theorems on the artinianness of certain local cohomology modules are proven in a general situation. They generalize and imply previous results about…

We develop a cluster expansion for the probability of full connectivity of high density random networks in confined geometries. In contrast to percolation phenomena at lower densities, boundary effects, which have previously been largely…

Let $R$ be a regular ring, let $J$ be an ideal generated by a regular sequence of codimension at least $2$, and let $I$ be an ideal containing $J$. We give an example of a module $H^3_I(J)$ with infinitely many associated primes, answering…

We prove that if $f:R \rightarrow S$ is a local homomorphism of noetherian local rings of finite flat dimension and $M$ is a non-zero finitely generated $S$-module whose Gorenstein flat dimension over $R$ is bounded by the difference of the…

This expository article is an expanded version of talks given at the "Current Developments in Mathematics, 2002" conference. It gives an introduction to the (generalized) conjecture of Rapoport and Goresky-MacPherson which identifies the…

We develop the theory of coregular sequences and codepth for modules that need not be finitely generated or artinian over a Noetherian ring. We use this theory to give a new version of a theorem of Hellus characterizing set-theoretic…

Let $\xx= x_1,\ldots,x_r$ denote a system of elements of a commutative ring $R$. For an $R$-module $M$ we investigate when $\xx$ is $M$-pro-regular resp. $M$-weakly pro-regular as generalizations of $M$-regular sequences. This is done in…

Let $I$ be ideal of an $n$-dimensional local Gorenstein ring $R$. In this paper we will describe several necessary and sufficient conditions such that the ideal $I$ becomes cohomologically complete intersections. In fact, as a technical…
