A famous result due to I. M. Isaacs states that if a commutative ring $R$ has the property that every prime ideal is principal, then every ideal of $R$ is principal. This motivates ring theorists to study commutative rings for which every…
We address two aspects of finitely generated modules of finite projective dimension over local rings and their connection in between: embeddability and grade of order ideals of minimal generators of syzygies. We provide a solution of the…
This article investigates strong generation within the module category of a commutative Noetherian ring. We establish a criterion for such rings to possess strong generators within their module category, addressing a question raised by…
A theorem of O. Forster says that if $R$ is a noetherian ring of Krull dimension $d$, then any projective $R$-module of rank $n$ can be generated by $d+n$ elements. S. Chase and R. Swan subsequently showed that this bound is sharp: there…
The support of any module over a commutative ring is defined as the collection of all prime ideals of the ring at which the localization of the module is non-zero. For finitely generated modules, the support is the collection of all prime…
We construct elementary subgroups of all reductive groups of the local isotropic rank $\geq 2$ over rings and prove their basic properties. In particular, our results may be applied to the automorphism groups of any finitely generated…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. The small finitistic dimension $\fPD(R)$ of $R$ is defined to be the supremum of projective dimensions of $R$-modules with finite projective resolutions. In this paper, we characterize a ring $R$…
In commutative ring theory, there is a theorem of Cohen which states that if in a commutative ring all prime ideals are finitely generated then every ideal is finitely generated. However, it is known that having only maximal ideals finitely…
A ring is called a commutator ring if every element is a sum of additive commutators. In this paper we give examples of such rings. In particular, we show that given any ring R, a right R-module N, and a set X, End_R(\bigoplus_X N) and…
Among the finitely generated modules over a Noetherian ring R, the semidualizing modules have been singled out due to their particularly nice duality properties. When R is a normal domain, we exhibit a natural inclusion of the set 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…
We study the conditions under which a TTF class in a module category over a ring is silting. Using the correspondence between idempotent ideals over a ring and TTF classes in the module category, we focus on finding the necessary and…
The aim of this note is to understand under which conditions invertible modules over a commutative S-algebra in the sense of Elmendorf, Kriz, Mandell and May give rise to elements in the algebraic Picard group of invertible graded modules…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring of dimension $d$, $S = R[X]$ or $R[X, 1/X]$ and $P$ a finitely generated projective $S$ module of rank $r$. Then $P$ is cancellative if $P$ has a unimodular element and $r \geq d + 1$. Moreover if $r \geq \dim…
If R is a commutative ring, we prove that every finitely generated module has a pure-composition series with indecomposable factors and any two such series are isomorphic if and only if R is a Bezout ring and a CF-ring.
Let $\Lambda$ be a $\mathbb{Z}$-graded artin algebra. Two classical results of Gordon and Green state that if $\Lambda$ has only finitely many indecomposable gradable modules, up to isomorphism, then $\Lambda$ has finite representation…
In earlier work, the author classified rigid representations of a quiver by finitely generated free modules over a principal ideal ring. Here we extend the results to representations of a quiver by finitely generated projective modules over…
Let $E$ be a module of projective dimension one over $R=k[x_1,\ldots,x_d]$. If $E$ is presented by a matrix $\varphi$ with linear entries and the number of generators of $E$ is bounded locally up to codimension $d-1$, the Rees ring…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with $\Z(R)$ its set of zero-divisors. In this paper, we study the total graph of $R$, denoted by $\T(\Gamma(R))$. It is the (undirected) graph with all elements of $R$ as vertices, and for distinct $x, y\in…
Let R be the quotient of a polynomial ring over a field k by an ideal generated by monomials. We derive a formula for the multigraded Poincare' series of R, i.e., the generating function for the ranks of the modules in a minimal multigraded…
