Minimal free resolutions of graded modules over a noetherian polynomial ring have been attractive objects of interest for more than a hundred years. We introduce and study two natural extensions in the setting of graded modules over a…

It is proved that every commutative ring whose RD-injective modules are $\Sigma$-RD-injective is the product of a pure semi-simple ring and a finite ring. A complete characterization of commutative rings for which each artinian…

Let $Q$ be a local ring with maximal ideal $\mathfrak{n}$ and let $f,g\in \mathfrak{n}\smallsetminus\mathfrak{n}^2$ with $fg=0$. When $M$ is a finite $Q$-module with $fM=0$, we show that a minimal free resolution of $M$ over $Q$ has a…

Among the finitely generated modules over a Noetherian ring R, the semidualizing modules have been singled out due to their particularly nice duality properties. When R is a normal domain, we exhibit a natural inclusion of the set of…

Let $\Lambda$ be a $\mathbb{Z}$-graded artin algebra. Two classical results of Gordon and Green state that if $\Lambda$ has only finitely many indecomposable gradable modules, up to isomorphism, then $\Lambda$ has finite representation…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $D$ an $R$-module. It is shown that if $D$ is pure injective, then $D$ is isomorphic to a direct summand of the direct product of a family of finitely embedded modules. As a result, it follows…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian ring, $I_1,\ldots,I_r$ be ideals of $R$, and $N\subseteq M$ be finitely generated $R$-modules. Let $S = \bigoplus_{\underline{n} \in \mathbb{N}^r} S_{\underline{n}}$ be a Noetherian standard $\mathbb{N}^r$-graded…

Let $A$ be a ring of dimension $d$ containing an infinite field $k$, $T_1,\ldots,T_r$ be variables over $A$ and $P$ be a projective $A[T_1,\ldots,T_r]$-module of rank $n$. Assume one of the following conditions hold. (1) $2n\geq d+3$ and…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring. It is shown that $R$ is Artinian if and only if every $R$-module is good, if and only if every $R$-module is representable. As a result, it follows that every nonzero submodule of any representable…

A definition of quasi-flat left module is proposed and it is shown that any left module which is either quasi-projective or flat is quasi-flat. A characterization of local commutative rings for which each ideal is quasi-flat (resp.…

For finitely generated modules $M$ and $N $ over a commutative Noetherian local ring $R$, we give various sufficient criteria for detecting freeness of $M$ or $N$ via vanishing of some finitely many Ext modules $\textrm{Ext}^i_R(M,N)$ and…

Let H be a Hopf algebra and A an H-simple right H-comodule algebra. It is shown that under certain hypotheses every (H,A)-Hopf module is either projective or free as an A-module and A is either a quasi-Frobenius or a semisimple ring. As an…

We introduce FI-algebras over a commutative ring $K$ and the category of FI-modules over an FI-algebra. Such a module may be considered as a family of invariant modules over compatible varying $K$-algebras. FI-modules over $K$ correspond to…

A module $M$ is called an automorphism-invariant module if every isomorphism between two essential submodules of $M$ extends to an automorphism of $M$. This paper introduces the notion of dual of such modules. We call a module $M$ to be a…

We study modules over a generalized Weyl algebra $R(\sigma,a)$ which are free when restricted to the base ring $R$. When $R$ is an integral domain, we construct all such finite-rank modules up to isomorphism, leading to new simple modules…

We consider $\,R-$modules as functors in the following way: if $\,M\,$ is a (left) $R$-module, let $\,\mathcal M\,$ be the functor of $\,\mathcal R-$modules defined by $\,\mathcal M(S) := S \otimes_R M\,$ for every $\,R-$algebra $\,S$. With…

Graded Artinian algebras can be regarded as algebraic analogues of cohomology rings (in even degrees) of compact topological manifolds. In this analogy, a free extension of a base ring with a fiber ring corresponds to a fiber bundle over a…

The primary goal of this paper is to investigate the structure of irreducible monomorphisms to and irreducible epimorphisms from finitely generated free modules over a noetherian local ring. Then we show that over such a ring,…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring and let $M$ and $N$ be nonzero finitely generated $R$-modules. In this paper, we investigate how the finiteness of the homological dimension of Ext modules between $M$ and $N$ affects that of…

We prove that for a noetherian semilocal ring $R$ with exactly $k$ isomorphism classes of simple right modules the monoid $V^*(R)$ of isomorphism classes of countably generated projective right (left) modules, viewed as a submonoid of…
