It is proved that a map $\varphi\colon R\to S$ of commutative noetherian rings that is essentially of finite type and flat is locally complete intersection if and only $S$ is proxy small as a bimodule. This means that the thick subcategory…

In this paper, we answer a question of Dwyer, Greenlees, and Iyengar by proving a local ring $R$ is a complete intersection if and only if every complex of $R$-modules with finitely generated homology is proxy small. Moreover, we establish…

Extending a notion defined for surjective maps by Blanco, Majadas, and Rodicio, we introduce and study a class of homomorphisms of commutative noetherian rings, which strictly contains the class of locally complete intersection…

We prove that if $f:R \rightarrow S$ is a local homomorphism of noetherian local rings, and $M$ is a non-zero finitely generated or artinian $S$-module whose injective dimension over $R$ is bounded by the difference of the embedding…

Throughout this abstruct $A$ will denote a noetherian commutative ring of dimension $n$. The paper has two parts. Among the interesting results in Part-1 are the following: 1) {\it suppose that $f_1, f_2, ..., f_r$ (with $r \leq n$) is a…

Let R be a local complete ring. For an R-module M the canonical ring map R\to End_R(M) is in general neither injective nor surjective; we show that it is bijective for every local cohomology module M := H^h_I(R) if H^l_I(R) = 0 for every…

We prove that every local complete intersection curve in $Spec(A)$, where $A$ is a commutative Noetherian ring of dimension three, is a set-theoretic complete intersection. An analogous result is established for local complete intersection…

Classical definitions of locally complete intersection (l.c.i.) homomorphisms of commutative rings are limited to maps that are essentially of finite type, or flat. The concept introduced in this paper is meaningful for homomorphisms phi :…

Let R be a commutative, noetherian, local ring. Topological Q-vector spaces modelled on full subcategories of the derived category of R are constructed in order to study intersection multiplicities.

We provide a structure theorem for all almost complete intersection ideals of depth three in any Noetherian local ring. In particular, we find that the minimal generators are the pfaffians of suitable submatrices of an alternating matrix.…

We characterize which complete local (Noetherian) rings T containing the rationals are the completion of a countable excellent local ring S. We also discuss the possibilities for the map from the minimal prime ideals of T to the minimal…

Broadening existing results in the literature to much wider classes of rings, we prove among other things: 1. Reduced quotients of excellent regular rings of characteristic $p$ admit big test elements, 2. The set of F-jumping numbers of a…

The rank of a ring $R$ is the supremum of minimal cardinalities of generating sets of $I$, among all ideals $I$ in $R$. In this paper, we obtain a characterization of Noetherian rings $R$ whose rank is not equal to the supremum of ranks of…

For a commutative Noetherian local ring we define and study the class of modules having reducible complexity, a class containing all modules of finite complete intersection dimension. Various properties of this class of modules are given,…

We prove that if $f:R \rightarrow S$ is a local homomorphism of noetherian local rings of finite flat dimension and $M$ is a non-zero finitely generated $S$-module whose Gorenstein flat dimension over $R$ is bounded by the difference of the…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $M$ be an $R$-module, and let $I(R)^*$ be the set of all non-trivial ideals of $R$. The $M$-intersection graph of ideals of $R$, denoted by $G_M(R)$, is a graph with the vertex set $I(R)^*$, and two…

Let $A$ be a commutative noetherian ring and $I$ an ideal in $A$. We characterize algebraically when all the minimal primes of the associated graded ring $G_I A$ contract to minimal primes of $A/I$. This, applied to intersection theory,…

A commutative local ring is generally defined to be a complete intersection if its completion is isomorphic to the quotient of a regular local ring by an ideal generated by a regular sequence. It has not previously been determined whether…

We study complexes of finite complete intersection dimension in the derived category of a local ring. Given such a complex, we prove that the thick subcategory it generates contains complexes of all possible complexities. In particular, we…

Let $T$ be a local (Noetherian) ring and let $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ be prime ideals of $T$. We find sufficient conditions for there to exist a quasi-excellent local subring $B$ of $T$ satisfying the following conditions: (1) the completion of $B$…
