Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Henselian Cohen-Macaulay local ring and let CM(A) be the category of maximal Cohen-Macaulay $A$-modules. We construct $T \colon CM(A)\times CM(A) \rightarrow mod(A)$, a subfunctor of $Ext^1_A(-, -)$ and use it to…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring. We prove that the finiteness of the injective dimension of a finitely generated $R$-module $C$ is determined by the existence of a Cohen--Macaulay module $M$ that satisfies an inequality…

In this paper, we construct a local ring $A$ such that the kernel of the map $G_0(A)\subq \to G_0(\hat{A})\subq$ is not zero, where $\hat{A}$ is the comletion of $A$ with respect to the maximal ideal, and $G_0()\subq$ is the Grothendieck…

Over a commutative local Cohen--Macaulay ring, we view and study the category of maximal Cohen--Macaulay modules as a ring with several objects. We compute the global dimension of this category and thereby extend a result of Leuschke to the…

We give a classification of all exact structures on a given idempotent complete additive category. Using this, we investigate the structure of an exact category with finitely many indecomposables. We show that the relation of the…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $\mathfrak a$ and $\mathfrak b$ ideals of $R$. In this paper, we study the finiteness dimension $f_{\mathfrak a}(M)$ of $M$ relative to $\mathfrak a$ and the $\mathfrak b$-minimum $\mathfrak…

Our purpose in this work is multifold. First, we provide general criteria for the finiteness of the projective and injective dimensions of a finite module $M$ over a (commutative) Noetherian ring $R$. Second, in the other direction, we…

We obtain various characterizations of commutative Noetherian local rings $(R, \fm)$ in terms of homological dimensions of certain finitely generated modules. For example, we establish that $R$ is Gorenstein if the Gorenstein injective…

In this note we introduce and study basic properties of two types of modules over a commutative noetherian ring $R$ of positive prime characteristic. The first is the category of modules of finite $F$-type. These objects include reflexive…

We construct a noncommutative desingularization of the discriminant of a finite reflection group $G$ as a quotient of the skew group ring $A=S*G$. If $G$ is generated by order two reflections, then this quotient identifies with the…

For a local Cohen-Macaulay ring R of finite CM-type, Yoshino has applied methods of Auslander and Reiten to compute the Grothendieck group of the category mod(R) of finitely generated R-modules. For the same type of rings we compute in this…

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…

Let $H$ be a semisimple Hopf algebra, and let $R$ be a noetherian left $H$-module algebra. If $R/R^H$ is a right $H^*$-dense Galois extension, then the invariant subalgebra $R^H$ will inherit the AS-Cohen-Macaulay property from $R$ under…

We let R be a one-dimensional graded complete intersection, satisfying certain degree conditions which are satisfied whenever R is a numerical semigroup ring of embedding dimension at least three. We show that a graded maximal…

Let R be a commutative ring, M an R-module, and N a finitely presented R-module such that the intersection of Max(R) and Supp(N) is finite-dimensional and Noetherian. Suppose also that N is homothetic; in other words, suppose that the…

The Cohen-Macaulay locus of any finite module over a noetherian local ring $A$ is studied and it is shown that it is a Zariski-open subset of $\Spec A$ in certain cases. In this connection, the rings whose formal fibres over certain prime…
