Rank 2 indecomposable arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay bundles E on a nonsingular cubic surface X in P^3 are classified, by means of the possible forms taken by the minimal graded free resolution of E over P^3. The admissible values of the…

Given an infinite field $\mathbb{k}$ and a simplicial complex $\Delta$, a common theme in studying the $f$- and $h$-vectors of $\Delta$ has been the consideration of the Hilbert series of the Stanley--Reisner ring $\mathbb{k}[\Delta]$…

Let $(R,\fm)$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring and let $M$ be an $R$-module which is a relative Cohen-Macaulay with respect to a proper ideal $\fa$ of $R$ and set $n:=\h_{M}\fa$. We prove that $\ind M<\infty$ if and only if…

By explicit machine computation we obtain the mod-2 cohomology ring of the third Conway group Co_3. It is Cohen-Macaulay, has dimension 4, and is detected on the maximal elementary abelian 2-subgroups.

In analogy with the classical, affine toric rings, we define a local toric ring as the quotient of a regular local ring modulo an ideal generated by binomials in a regular system of parameters with unit coefficients; if the coefficients are…

We study properties of graded maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over an N-graded locally finite, Auslander Gorenstein, and Cohen-Macaulay algebra of dimension two. As a consequence, we extend a part of McKay correspondence in dimension two to…

In this work we provide an upper bound for the multiplicity of a one-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay ring (under certain conditions), describe the rings attaining the equality for this bound, and outline a connection with Wilf's conjecture for…

A Gorenstein A-algebra R of codimension 2 is a perfect finite A-algebra such that R=Ext^2(R,A) holds as R-modules, A being a Cohen-Macaulay local ring with dim(A)-dim_A(R)=2. I prove a structure theorem for these algebras improving on an…

By a theorem of Roberts, the integral closure of a regular local ring in a finite abelian extension of its fraction field is Cohen-Macaulay, provided that the degree of the extension is coprime to the characteristic of the residue field. We…

Let I be an ideal of a regular local ring Q with residue field k. The length of the minimal free resolution of R=Q/I is called the codepth of R. If it is at most 3, then the resolution carries a structure of a differential graded algebra,…

In this paper we study the Hilbert coefficients the fiber cone. We also compare the depths of the fiber cone and the associated graded ring.

The Chern numbers of the title are the first coefficients (after the multiplicities) of the Hilbert functions of various filtrations of ideals of a local ring $(R, \mathfrak{m})$. For a Noetherian (good) filtration $\mathcal{A}$ of…

The notion of Frobenius Betti numbers generalizes the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity theory and serves as an invariant that measures singularity. However, the explicit computation of the Frobenius Betti numbers of rings has been limited to very…

We introduce new homological dimensions, namely the Cohen-Macaulay projective, injective and flat dimensions for homologically bounded complexes. Among other things we show that (a) these invariants characterize the Cohen-Macaulay property…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring of dimension $d\geq 3$ and $I$ an integrally closed $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal. We establish bounds for the third Hilbert coefficient $e_3(I)$ in terms of the lower Hilbert…

In this note, we study commutative Noetherian local rings having finitely generated modules of finite Gorenstein injective dimension. In particular, we consider whether such rings are Cohen-Macaulay.

We introduce the notions of sequential sequence and sequential f-sequence in order to characterize sequentially Cohen-Macaulay modules and sequentially generalized Cohen-Macaulay modules. Let R be a Noetherian local ring and M a finitely…

We study rings of integral modular forms for congruence subgroups as modules over the ring of integral modular forms for the full modular group. In many cases these modules are free or decompose at least into well-understood pieces. We…

In this paper we show a partial answer the a question of C. Huneke and G. Leuschke (2003): Let R be a standard graded Cohen-Macaulay ring of graded countable Cohen-Macaulay representation type, and assume that R has an isolated singularity.…

The structure of Sally modules of $\fkm$-primary ideals $I$ in a Cohen-Macaulay local ring $(A, \m)$ satisfying the equality $\e_1(I)=\e_0(I)-\ell_A(A/I)+1$ is explored, where $\e_0(I)$ and $\e_1(I)$ denote the first two Hilbert…
