For an associative ring $R$, the projective level of a complex $F$ is the smallest number of mapping cones needed to build $F$ from projective $R$-modules. We establish lower bounds for the projective level of $F$ in terms of the vanishing…

In this work, we prove that if a graded, commutative algebra $R$ over a field $k$ is not Koszul then, denoting by $\mathfrak{m}$ the maximal homogeneous ideal of $R$ and by $M$ a finitely generated graded $R$-module, the nonzero modules of…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring. An $R$-module $M$ is said to be almost projective if ${\rm Ext}^1_R(M, N) = 0$ for any $R_{\mathfrak{m}}$-module $N$ and any maximal ideal $\mathfrak{m}$ of $R$. In this paper, we investigate rings $R$ over…

Let $Q$ be a Noetherian ring with finite Krull dimension and let $\mathbf{f}= f_1,... f_c$ be a regular sequence in $Q$. Set $A = Q/(\mathbf{f})$. Let $I$ be an ideal in $A$, and let $M$ be a finitely generated $A$-module with $\projdim_Q…

Let $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring with total quotient ring $K$. An $R$-module $M$ is called simple divisible, if $M$ is divisible $\neq 0$, but every proper submodule $0 \neq U \subsetneqq M$ is not divisible.…

A commutative ring $R$ is stable provided every ideal of $R$ containing a nonzerodivisor is projective as a module over its ring of endomorphisms. The class of stable rings includes the one-dimensional local Cohen-Macaulay rings of…

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 $R$ be a commutative noetherian ring, and let $\mathscr{S}$(resp. $\mathscr{L}$) be a Serre(resp. localizing) subcategory of the category of $R$-modules. If $\Bbb F$ is an unbounded complex of $R$-modules Tor-perpendicular to…

For finitely generated module $M$ over a local ring $R$, the conventional notions of complete intersection dimension $\cid_R M$ and Cohen-Macaulay dimension $\cmdim_R M$ do not extend to cover the case of infinitely generated modules. In…

Let $(R,\frak m)$ be a commutative noetherian local ring. In this paper, we prove that if $\frak m$ is decomposable, then for any finitely generated $R$-module $M$ of infinite projective dimension $\frak m$ is a direct summand of (a direct…

We show that Iacob-Iyengar's answer to a question of Avromov-Foxby extends from Noetherian to coherent rings. In particular, a coherent ring R is regular if and only if the injective (resp. projective) dimension of each complex X of…

In this note we show that a ring R is left perfect if and only if every left R-module is weakly supplemented if and only if R is semilocal and the radical of the countably infinite free left R-module has a weak supplement.

A quasi-complete intersection (q.c.i.) ideal of a local ring is an ideal with "free exterior Koszul homology"; the definition can also be understood in terms of vanishing of Andr\'e-Quillen homology functors. Principal q.c.i. ideals are…

Using the notion of cyclically pure injective modules, a characterization for rings which are locally valuation is established. As applications, new characterizations for Prufer domains and pure semi-simple rings are provided. Namely, we…

Let $R$ be a commutative noetherian local ring. We define a new invariant for $R$-modules which we call the little dimension. Using it, we extend the improved new intersection theorem.

In this paper several characterizations of semi-compact modules are given. Among other results, we study rings whose semi-compact modules are injective. We introduce the property $\Sigma$-semi-compact for modules and we characterize the…

It is well-known that for a large class of local rings of positive characteristic, including complete intersection rings, the Frobenius endomorphism can be used as a test for finite projective dimension. In this paper, we exploit this…

Let $\frak a$ be an ideal of a commutative noetherian ring $R$ with unity and $M$ an $R$-module supported at $\V(\fa)$. Let $n$ be the supermum of the integers $i$ for which $H^{\fa}_i(M)\neq 0$. We show that $M$ is $\fa$-cofinite if and…

In this article, we introduce the notion of regular fusible modules. Let $R$ be a ring with an identity and $M$ an $R$-module. An element $0\neq m\in M$ is said to be regular fusible if there exists $r\in R$, a non zero-divisor of $M$, such…

It is well-known that a ring R is semiperfect if and only if R as a left (or as a right) R-module is a supplemented module. Considering weak supplements instead of supplements we show that weakly supplemented modules M are semilocal (i.e.,…
