The paper shows that if the set of associated primes of Frobenius powers of ideals or a closely related set of primes is finite then if tight closure does not commute with localisation one can find a counter-example where $R$ is complete…

Let $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring with total quotient ring $K$. An $R$-module $M$ is called simple divisible, if $M$ is divisible $\neq 0$, but every proper submodule $0 \neq U \subsetneqq M$ is not divisible.…

We introduce an operation on modules over an $F$-finite ring of characteristic $p$. We call this operation \emph{tight interior}. While it exists more generally, in some cases this operation is equivalent to the Matlis dual of tight…

Let $T$ be a complete local (Noetherian) ring of characteristic zero. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for $T$ to be the completion of a quasi-excellent local domain. In the case that $T$ contains the rationals, we provide…

In this article, we prove that the Buchsbaum-Rim function $\ell_A(\S_{\nu+1}(F)/N^{\nu+1})$ of a parameter module $N$ in $F$ is bounded above by $e(F/N) \binom{\nu+d+r-1}{d+r-1}$ for every integer $\nu \geq 0$. Moreover, it turns out that…

It is well known that in the Noetherian local ring with infinite residue field the reduction of $\mm$-primary ideal may be given in the form of a sufficiently general linear combination of its generators. In the paper we give a condition…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Noetherian local ring, and let $J$ be an arbitrary ideal of $R$. Suppose $M$ is a finitely generated $R$-module. Let $x_1,\ldots,x_r$ be a $J$-filter regular sequence on $M$. We provide an explicit number $N$…

The aim of this paper is to introduce a new class of Noetherian rings of positive characteristic in terms of perfect closures and study their basic properties. If the perfect closure of a Noetherian ring is coherent, we call it an…

Let $(R, \frak m)$ be a Noetherian local ring, $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module. The aim of this paper is to prove a uniform formula for the index of reducibility of paprameter ideals of $M$ provided the polynomial type of $M$ is at most…

Tight closure test ideals have been central to the classification of singularities in rings of characteristic $p>0$, and via reduction to characteristic $p$, in equal characteristic zero as well. A summary of their properties and…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian local ring and let $I$ be an ideal in $R$. The ideal $I$ is called balanced if the colon ideal $J:I$ is independent of the choice of the minimal reduction $J$ of $I$. Under suitable assumptions, Ulrich showed that…

Let $R$ be a {\em differentiably simple Noetherian commutative} ring of characteristic $p>0$ (then $(R, \gm)$ is local with $n:= {\rm emdim} (R)<\infty$). A short proof is given of the Theorem of Harper \cite{Harper61} on classification of…

The test ideal $\tau(R)$ of a ring $R$ of prime characteristic is an important object in the theory of tight closure. In this paper, we study a generalization of the test ideal, which is the ideal $\tau(\a^t)$ associated to a given ideal…

Let $R$ be a commutative $F$-algebra, where $F$ is a field of characteristic 0, satisfying the following conditions: $R$ is equidimensional of dimension $n$, every residual field with respect to a maximal ideal is an algebraic extension of…

Given a Noetherian local ring (R,m) it is shown that there exists an integer l such that R is Gorenstein if and only if some system of parameters contained in m^l generates an irreducible ideal. We obtain as a corollary that R is Gorenstein…

Let $B$ be a local (Noetherian) ring and suppose that $B$ has $n$ associated prime ideals where $n \geq 2$. We identify sufficient conditions for there to exist a local (Noetherian) subring $S$ of $B$ such that $S$ and $B$ have the same…

Let $R$ be a finitely generated positively graded algebra over a Noetherian local ring $B$, and $\mathfrak{m} = [R]_+$ be the graded irrelevant ideal of $R$. We provide a local criterion characterizing the $B$-freeness of all the local…

Among reduced Noetherian prime characteristic commutative rings, we prove that a regular ring is precisely one where finite intersection of ideals commutes with taking bracket powers. However, reducedness is essential for this equivalence.…

We prove that if the first tight Hilbert coefficient vanishes then ring is $F$-rational provided it is a Buchsbaum local ring satisfying the $(S_2)$ condition.

We answer a question of Celikbas, Dao, and Takahashi by establishing the following characterization of Gorenstein rings: a commutative noetherian local ring $(R,\mathfrak m)$ is Gorenstein if and only if it admits an integrally closed…
