In this paper we consider birational properties of ramification in excellent local rings. We give an example showing that local monomialization (and weak local monomialization) can fail for extensions of algebraic local rings in algebraic…
In this note we give a simple proof of the fact that local rings of dimension one have the strong uniform Artin-Rees property. Moreover, we give two examples of rings of dimension two where the property fails.
In this paper we affirmatively answer a question posed by F.-V. Kuhlmann. We show that the first Artin-Schreier defect extension in Cutkosky and Piltant's counter-example to strong monomialization is a dependent extension. Our main tool is…
In this paper we consider birational properties of ramification in excellent local rings. We extend earlier results of the author with Olivier Piltant to show that strong local monomialization is true along a valuation dominating a…
We derive extensions of the monomialization theorems for morphisms of varieties in our earlier work. In this note we show that a local monomialization can be found which satisfies stronger local conditions. Some comments are made about how…
Birational properites of generically finite morphisms $X\rightarrow Y$ of algebraic varieties can be understood locally by a valuation of the function field of $X$. In finite extensions of algebraic local rings in characteristic zero…
We give a characteristic free proof of the main result of our previous paper (math.AC/0509697) concerning toroidalization of generating sequences of valuations in dimension two function fields. We show that when an extension of two…
An example is constructed of a local ring and a module of finite type and finite projective dimension over that ring such that the module is not rigid. This shows that the rigidity conjecture is false.
We study some properties of graded idealizer rings with an emphasis on applications to the theory of noncommutative projective geometry. In particular we give examples of rings for which the $\chi$-conditions of Artin and Zhang and the…
We give a proof of local strong factorization of a birational extension of regular local rings (of equicharacteristic zero) along a valuation of rank 1 and maximal rational rank. This gives an alternate proof to the geometric proof of this…
We study the Cohen-Macaulay property of a particular class of radical extensions of an unramified regular local ring having mixed characteristic.
In this paper, we consider a depth inequality of Auslander which holds for finitely generated Tor-rigid modules over commutative Noetherian local rings. We raise the question of whether such a depth inequality can be extended for…
An algorithmic proof of General Neron Desingularization is given here for one dimensional local rings and it is implemented in Singular. Also a theorem recalling Greenberg' strong approximation theorem is presented for one dimensional local…
Let $I$ be an ideal of height $d$ in a regular local ring $(R,m,k=R/m)$ of dimension $n$ and let $\Omega$ denote the canonical module of $R/I$. In this paper we first prove the equivalence of the following: the non-vanishing of the edge…
In this paper, local monomialization theorems are proven for analytic morphisms of complex and real analytic spaces. This gives the generalization of the local monomialization theorem for morphisms of algebraic varieties over a field of…
Let $A = \mathbb{F}_p$ or $\mathbb{Z}_p$, and let $R = A[[x_1]][[x_2; \sigma_2, \delta_2]]\dots[[x_n;\sigma_n,\delta_n]]$, an iterated local skew power series ring over $A$. Under mild conditions, we show that (multiplicative) monomial…
For automorphisms of a polynomial ring in two variables over a domain R, we show that local tameness implies global tameness provided that every 2-generated invertible R-module is free. We give many examples illustrating this property.
We show that every automorphism of a thick twin building interchanging the halves of the building maps some residue to an opposite one. Furthermore we show that no automorphism of a locally finite 2-spherical twin building of rank at least…
We show that there exist noncommutative Ore extensions in which every right ideal is two-sided. This answers a problem posed by Marks in Duo Rings and Ore extensions, J.Algebra 280(2), (2004). We also provide an easy construction of one…
We prove that the genus two surface admits a cw-expansive homeomorphism with a fixed point whose local stable set is not locally connected.
