Let $R$ be a Noetherian local ring and $I$ an $R$-ideal. It is well-known that if the associated graded ring $\gr_I(R)$ is Cohen-Macaulay (Gorenstein), then so is $R$, but the converse is not true in general. In this paper we investigate…

Let A be a Noetherian local ring with canonical module K. We characterize A when K is a torsionless, reflexive, or q-torsionfree module. If A is a Cohen-Macaulay ring, H.-B. Foxby proved in 1974 that the A-module K is q-torsionfree if and…

Let $A$ and $B$ be commutative rings with unity, $f:A\to B$ a ring homomorphism and $J$ an ideal of $B$. Then the subring $A\bowtie^fJ:=\{(a,f(a)+j)|a\in A$ and $j\in J\}$ of $A\times B$ is called the amalgamation of $A$ with $B$ along with…

In this paper, we show that for any rational surface singularity $A$, the canonical trace ideal $\mathrm{Tr}_A(K_A)$ is integrally closed ideal which is represented by the minimal anti-nef cycle $F$ on the minimal resolution of…

We study reflexive ideals in one-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local rings, providing characterizations of almost Gorenstein rings, rings with minimal multiplicity, and Arf rings, which describe their reflexive fractional ideals.

This paper investigates the relation between the almost Gorenstein properties for graded rings and for local rings. Once $R$ is an almost Gorenstein graded ring, the localization $R_M$ of $R$ at the graded maximal ideal $M$ is almost…

We give sufficient conditions for a Frobenius category to be equivalent to the category of Gorenstein projective modules over an Iwanaga-Gorenstein ring. We then apply this result to the Frobenius category of special Cohen-Macaulay modules…

Let k be an arbitrary field, A be a standard graded Artinian Gorenstein k-algebra of embedding dimension four and socle degree three, and pi from P to A be a surjective graded homomorphism from a polynomial ring with four variables over k…

Let $X$ be a Gorenstein minimal projective 3-fold with at worst locally factorial terminal singularities. Suppose the canonical map is of fiber type. Denote by $F$ a smooth model of a generic irreducible component in fibers of the canonical…

Let $X$ be a Gorenstein minimal projective $3$-fold with at worst locally factorial terminal singularities. Suppose that the canonical map is generically finite onto its image. C. Hacon showed that the canonical degree is universally…

We introduce classes of rings which are close to being Gorenstein. These rings arise naturally as specializations of rings of countable CM type. We study these rings in detail, and along the way generalize an old result of Teter which…

The purpose of this article is to provide a new characterization of Cohen-Macaulay local rings. As a consequence we deduce that a local (Noetherian) ring $R$ is Gorenstein if and only if every parameter ideal of $R$ is irreducible.

Let $(A, \mathfrak{m})$ be a Noetherian local ring and $\mathfrak{F}=(I_{n})_{n\geq 0}$ a filtration. In this paper, we study the Gorenstein properties of the fiber cone $F(\mathfrak{F})$, where $\mathfrak{F}$ is a Hilbert filtration.…

Let $R = k[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$ be the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $k$ and let $I$ be a monomial ideal of $R$. In this paper, we study almost Cohen-Macaulay simplicial complex. Moreover, we characterize the almost…

Let $H\subseteq \mathbb{N}^d$ be a normal affine semigroup, $R=K[H]$ its semigroup ring over the field $K$ and $\omega_R$ its canonical module. The Ulrich elements for $H$ are those $h$ in $H$ such that for the multiplication map by…

In this article we establish the arithmetic purity of strong approximation for certain semi-simple simply connected $k$-simple linear algebraic groups and their homogeneous spaces over a number field $k$. For instance, for any such group…

In this work we provide an upper bound for the multiplicity of a one-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay ring (under certain conditions), describe the rings attaining the equality for this bound, and outline a connection with Wilf's conjecture for…

If the Krull dimension of the semigroup ring is greater than one, then affine semigroups of maximal projective dimension ($\mathrm{MPD}$) are not Cohen-Macaulay, but they may be Buchsbaum. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for…

Given a seminormal affine monoid M we consider several monoid properties of M and their connections to ring properties of the associated affine monoid ring K[M] over a field K. We characterize when K[M] satisfies Serre's condition (S_2) and…

Every quotient R/I of a semigroup ring R by a radical monomial ideal I has a unique minimal injective-like resolution by direct sums of quotients of R modulo prime monomial ideals. The quotient R/I is Cohen-Macaulay if and only if every…
