Consider a Noetherian domain $R$ and a finite group $G \subseteq Gl_n(R)$. We prove that if the ring of invariants $R[x_1, \ldots, x_n]^G$ is a Cohen-Macaulay ring, then it is generated as an $R$-algebra by elements of degree at most…

Let R be a commutative Noetherian local ring. We show that R is Gorenstein if and only if every finitely generated R-module can be embedded in a finitely generated R-module of finite projective dimension. This extends a result of Auslander…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Gorenstein local ring and let $M$ be a finitely generated Cohen Macaulay $A$ module. Let $G(A)=\bigoplus_{n\geq 0}\mathfrak{m}^n/\mathfrak{m}^{n+1}$ be the associated graded ring of $A$ and $G(M)=\bigoplus_{n\geq…

Let R be a commutative noetherian local ring. A finitely generated R-module C is semidualizing if it is self-orthogonal and satisfies the condition Hom_R(C,C) \cong R. We prove that a Cohen-Macaulay ring R with dualizing module D admits a…

It is shown in a local strongly $F$-regular ring there exits natural number $e_0$ so that if $M$ is any finitely generated maximal Cohen-Macaulay module then the pushforward of $M$ under the $e_0$th iterate of the Frobenius endomorphism…

Let $(R, \frak m)$ be a homomorphic image of a Cohen-Macaulay local ring and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module. We use the splitting of local cohomology to shed a new light on the structure of non-Cohen-Macaulay modules. Namely, we show…

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…

We introduce an analog of the Ziegler spectrum for maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over a complete Cohen-Macaulay local ring. We define a topology on the space of isomorphism classes of indecomposable maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules and…

We classify all tilting and cotilting classes over commutative noetherian rings in terms of descending sequences of specialization closed subsets of the Zariski spectrum. Consequently, all resolving subcategories of finitely generated…

Let $R$ be a noetherian normal domain. We investigate when $R$ admits a faithful module whose endomorphism ring has finite global dimension. This can be viewed as a non-commutative desingularization of $\Spec(R)$. We show that the existence…

We study several structure aspects of functor categories from a small additive category to a module category, in particular the category F(A,K) of functors from finitely generated free modules over a commutative ring A to vector spaces over…

This is an English translation of the author's Ph.D. thesis, accumulating his results on a construction of Cohen-Macaulay modules over a polynomial ring that appeared in the study of Cauchy-Fueter equations. This construction is generalized…

In this paper we are concerned with the following question: if the tensor product of finitely generated modules $M$ and $N$ over a local complete intersection domain is maximal Cohen-Macaulay, then must $M$ or $N$ be a maximal…

In this paper, we aim to obtain some results under the condition that the dual of a module over a commutative Noetherian ring has finite Gorenstein dimension. In this direction, we derive results involving vanishing of Ext as well as the…

Let $A=\oplus_{i\in \nn}A_i$ be an excellent homogeneous Noetherian graded ring and let $M=\oplus_{n\in \zz}M_n$ be a finitely generated graded $A$-module. We consider $M$ as a module over $A_0$ and show that the $(S_k)$-loci of $M$ are…

Let $(R, \m, k)$ be a complete Cohen-Macaulay local ring. In this paper, we assign a numerical invariant, for any balanced big Cohen-Macaulay module, called $\uh$-length. Among other results, it is proved that, for a given balanced big…

A full subcategory of modules over a commutative ring $R$ is wide if it is abelian and closed under extensions. Hovey \cite{wide} gave a classification of wide subcategories of finitely presented modules over regular coherent rings in terms…

We study the converse of a theorem of Butler and Auslander-Reiten. We show that a Cohen-Macaulay local ring with an isolated singularity has only finitely many isomorphism classes of indecomposable summands of syzygies of Cohen-Macaulay…

We study Artin algebras $A$ and commutative Noetherian complete local rings $R$ in connection with the following decomposition property of Gorenstein-projective modules: $(*)$ any Gorenstein-projective module is a direct sum of finitely…

In this paper we completely classify all the special Cohen-Macaulay (=CM) modules corresponding to the exceptional curves in the dual graph of the minimal resolutions of all two dimensional quotient singularities. In every case we exhibit…
