This paper contains two theorems concerning the theory of maximal Cohen--Macaulay modules. The first theorem proves that certain Ext groups between maximal Cohen--Macaulay modules $M$ and $N$ must have finite length, provided only finitely…
In this paper, we treat $\mathscr{D}$-modules on the basic affine space $G/U$ and their global sections for a semisimple complex algebraic group $G$. Our aim is to prepare basic results about large non-irreducible modules for the branching…
We prove the following monotonicity result for the holonomy group: Given a sequence of metric connections converging in $C^0$ such that all its members have holonomy contained in a closed group $H$, also their limit connection needs to have…
The purpose of this paper is to describe several applications of finiteness properties of $F$-finite $F$-modules recently discovered by M. Hochster to the study of Frobenius maps on injective hulls, Frobenius near-splittings and to the…
We undertake the study of bivariate Horn systems for generic parameters. We prove that these hypergeometric systems are holonomic, and we provide an explicit formula for their holonomic rank as well as bases of their spaces of complex…
We study homological properties of test modules that are, in principle, modules that detect finite homological dimensions. The main outcome of our results is a generalization of a classical theorem of Auslander and Bridger: we prove that,…
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $\fa$ an ideal of $R$ and $\mathcal{D}(R)$ denote the derived category of $R$-modules. We investigate the theory of local homology in conjunction with Gorenstein flat modules. Let $X$ be a…
We investigate nearly Gorenstein property for a normal graded ring $R = \bigoplus_{n\ge 0}R_n$ finitely generated over a field. For that purpose, we investigate ${K_R}^{-1}$, the inverse of $K_R$ (the canonical module of $R$) and introduce…
We explain a formalism of regular holonomic $D$-modules for algebraic geometers using the distinguished triangles associated with algebraic local cohomology together with meromorphic Deligne extensions of local systems as well as the dual…
We formalize, at the level of D-modules, the notion that A-hypergeometric systems are equivariant versions of the classical hypergeometric equations. For this purpose, we construct a functor on a suitable category of torus equivariant…
We develop a theory of commensurability of groups, of rings, and of modules. It allows us, in certain cases, to compare sizes of automorphism groups of modules, even when those are infinite. This work is motivated by the Cohen-Lenstra…
We give a new proof of the simultaneous embedded local uniformization Theorem in zero characteristic for essentially of finite type rings and for quasi excellent rings. The results are a consequence of the simultaneaous monomialization…
We study properties of a group, abelian group, ring, or monoid $B$ which (a) guarantee that every homomorphism from an infinite direct product $\prod_I A_i$ of objects of the same sort onto $B$ factors through the direct product of finitely…
The notions of Betti numbers and of Bass numbers of a finite module N over a local ring R are extended to modules that are only assumed to be finite over S, for some local homomorphism f: R --> S. Various techniques are developed to study…
Let $R$ be an $F$-finite Noetherian regular ring containing an algebraically closed field $k$ of positive characteristic, and let $M$ be an $\F$-finite $\F$-module over $R$ in the sense of Lyubeznik (for example, any local cohomology module…
On a complex symplectic manifold we prove a finiteness result for the global sections of solutions of holonomic DQ-modules in two cases: (a) by assuming that there exists a Poisson compactification (b) in the algebraic case. This extends…
The behaviour under coarsening functors of simple, entire, or reduced graded rings, of free graded modules over principal graded rings, of superfluous monomorphisms and of homological dimensions of graded modules, as well as adjoints of…
Inspired by a question raised by Eisenbud-Musta\c{t}\u{a}-Stillman regarding the injectivity of maps from ${\rm Ext}$ modules to local cohomology modules and the work by the third author with Pham, we introduce a class of rings which we…
Let R be a (not necessarily local) Noetherian ring and M a finitely generated R-module of finite dimension d. Let \fa be an ideal of R and \fM denote the intersection of all prime ideals \fp in Supp_RH^d_{\fa}(M). It is shown that…
We study criteria for a ring - or more generally, for a small category - to be Gorenstein and for a module over it to be of finite projective dimension. The goal is to unify the universal coefficient theorems found in the literature and to…
