(1) Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be complete Noetherian local ring of dimension $d$ and let $P$ be a prime ideal with $G_P(A) = \bigoplus_{n \geq 0}P^n/P^{n+1}$ a domain. Fix $r \geq 1$. If $J$ is a homogeneous ideal of $G_{P^r}(A)$ with…

In this paper, we study module theoretic definitions of the Baer and related ring concepts. We say a module is s.Baer if the right annihilator of a nonempty subset of the module is generated by an idempotent in the ring. We show that s.Baer…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $\alpha$ an automorphism of $R$. This paper addresses the question: when does the skew polynomial ring $S = R[\theta; \alpha]$ satisfy the property $(\diamond)$, that for every simple $S$-module…

In this article, the projectivity of finitely generated flat modules of a commutative ring are studied from a topological point of view. Then various interesting results are obtained. For instance, it is shown that if a ring has either a…

A direct sum decomposition theory is developed for direct summands (and complements) of modules over a semiring $R$, having the property that $v+w = 0$ implies $v = 0$ and $w = 0$. Although this never occurs when $R$ is a ring, it always…

Let $\Lambda$ be an artin algebra and let $\mathcal{P}^{<\infty}_\Lambda$ the category of finitely generated right $\Lambda$-modules of finite projective dimension. We show that $\mathcal{P}^{<\infty}_\Lambda$ is contravariantly finite in…

We investigate homological and depth-theoretic properties of finitely generated modules of finite projective dimension over Noetherian local rings. A central theme is the study of criteria for freeness and reflexivity derived from the…

We obtain various characterizations of commutative Noetherian local rings $(R, \fm)$ in terms of homological dimensions of certain finitely generated modules. For example, we establish that $R$ is Gorenstein if the Gorenstein injective…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian Henselian local ring. Denote by $\mathrm{mod} R$ the category of finitely generated $R$-modules, and by ${\mathcal G}$ the full subcategory of $\mathrm{mod} R$ consisting of all G-projective $R$-modules.…

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…

We introduce a fundamental homological invariant, called Serre depth, which stratifies Serre's conditions in the same way that depth stratifies the Cohen-Macaulay property. We study the Serre depths of modules over arbitrary Noetherian…

Given a homomorphism of commutative noetherian rings R --> S and an S-module N, it is proved that the Gorenstein flat dimension of N over R, when finite, may be computed locally over S. When, in addition, the homomorphism is local and N is…
