In this paper we extend a result of Cowsik on set-theoretic complete intersection and a result Huneke, Morales and Goto and Nishida about Noetherian symbolic Rees algebras of ideals. As applications, we show that the symbolic Rees algebras…
In this note, we investigate the algebraic and topological representation theory of cylindric ortholattices and cylindric Boolean algebras. The first contribution demonstrates that cylindric ortholattices are closed under canonical…
We prove a Lefschetz duality result for intersection homology. Usually, this result applies to pseudomanifolds with boundary which are assumed to have a "collared neighborhood of their boundary". Our duality does not need this assumption…
A duality theorem of the bounded derived category of quasi-finite comodules over an artinian coalgebra is established. Let $A$ be a noetherian complete basic semiperfect algebra over an algebraically closed field, and $C$ be its dual…
We prove the Lefschetz duality for intersection (co)homology in the framework of $\partial$-pesudomanifolds. We work with general perversities and without restriction on the coefficient ring.
Open sets and compact saturated sets enjoy a perfect formal symmetry, at least for classes of spaces such as Stone spaces or spectral spaces. For larger classes of spaces, a perfect symmetry may not be available, although strong signs of it…
We show that for a Noetherian ring $A$ that is $I$-adically complete for an ideal $I$, if $A/I$ admits a dualizing complex, so does $A$. This gives an alternative proof of the fact that a Noetherian complete local ring admits a dualizing…
This note gives two examples of surfaces with normal crossing singularities. In the first example the canonical ring is not finitely generated. In the second, the canonical line bundle is not ample but its pull back to the normalization is…
We study rings which have Noetherian cohomology under the action of a ring of cohomology operators. The main result is a criterion for a complex of modules over such a ring to have finite injective dimension. This criterion generalizes, by…
We give a survey on old and new results concerning Arnold's strange duality. We show that most of the features of this duality continue to hold for the extension of it discovered by C. T. C. Wall and the author. The results include…
Let $E$ be a module of projective dimension one over a Noetherian ring $R$ and consider its Rees algebra $\mathcal{R}(E)$. We study this ring as a quotient of the symmetric algebra $\mathcal{S}(E)$ and consider the ideal $\mathcal{A}$…
We establish a duality between injective envelopes and flat covers over a commutative Noetherian ring. One case of this duality states that a morphism is an injective envelope, if and only if its Matlis dual is a flat cover. We also show…
We show that Bloch's complex of relative zero-cycles can be used as a dualizing complex over perfect fields and number rings. This leads to duality theorems for torsion sheaves on arbitrary separated schemes of finite type over…
We prove that generic complete intersections associated to multiple mirror nef-partitions are all birational. This result solves a conjecture by Batyrev and Nill under some mild assumptions.
In this paper we take some classical ideas from commutative algebra, mostly ideas involving duality, and apply them in algebraic topology. To accomplish this we interpret properties of ordinary commutative rings in such a way that they can…
We investigate flat maps where the source or target is a Noetherian ring, giving necessary and/or sufficient conditions on a ring for such maps to exist. Along the way, we develop some general facts about flat ring maps, and exhibit many…
We define a variant of intersection space theory that applies to many compact complex and real analytic spaces $X$, including all complex projective varieties; this is a significant extension to a theory which has so far only been shown to…
We compare the sheaf-theoretic and singular chain versions of Poincare duality for intersection homology, showing that they are isomorphic via naturally defined maps. Similarly, we demonstrate the existence of canonical isomorphisms between…
We study intersections of projective convex sets in the sense of Steinitz. In a projective space, an intersection of a nonempty family of convex sets splits into multiple connected components each of which is a convex set. Hence, such an…
We present an alternate proof of a result of F\'eray and Reiner characterizing posets whose $P$-partition rings are complete intersections. This shortened proof relates the complete intersection property to a simple structural property of a…
