We consider a circle of ideas involving differential algebra, local Noetherian rings, and their generic formal fibers. Connecting these ideas gives rise to what we term a "twisted" subring $R$ of a ring $S$. Each such subring $R$ arises as…
Idealization of a module $K$ over a commutative ring $S$ produces a ring having $K$ as an ideal, all of whose elements are nilpotent. We develop a method that under suitable field-theoretic conditions produces from an $S$-module $K$ and…
Let $R$ be a complete discrete valuation ring, $k(\eta)$ its fraction field, $S={\rm Spec} R$, $(G_{\eta},\mathcal{L}_{\eta})$ a polarized abelian variety over $k(\eta)$ with $\mathcal{L}_{\eta}$ symmetric ample cubical and $\mathcal{G}$…
This paper contributes to the study of homological aspects of trivial ring extensions (also called Nagata idealizations). Namely, we investigate the transfer of the notion of (Matlis') semi-regular ring (also known as IF-ring) along with…
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…
The main purpose of this paper is to provide formulas for the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity of fiber product rings and Nagata idealizations. We give explicit formulas for the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity of a fiber product $R \times_T S$, where…
Let $k$ be a field. In this paper, we define the notion of semi-fiber products of commutative $k$-algebras and show that the class of such rings contains several classes of commutative rings, including that of the fiber products of local…
A classical result of Micali asserts that a Noetherian local ring is regular if and only if the Rees algebra of its maximal ideal is defined by an ideal of linear forms. In this case, this defining ideal may be realized as a determinantal…
Let $(R,\mathfrak{m},K)$ be an $F$-finite Noetherian local ring which has a canonical ideal $I \subsetneq R$. We prove that if $R$ is $S_2$ and $H^{d-1}_{\mathfrak{m}}(R/I)$ is a simple $R\{F\}$-module, then $R$ is a strongly $F$-regular…
We show how subintegral extensions of certain local Noetherian domains $S$ can be constructed with specified invariants including reduction number, Hilbert function, multiplicity and local cohomology. The construction behaves analytically…
The aim of this paper is to extend Cohen structure theorem beyond local rings. Both Cohen structure theorem and Nagata's generalization of it are special cases of our results. We investigate for which rings $R$ there exists a maximal ideal…
Let (R,m) be a Noetherian local ring of depth d and C a semidualizing R-complex. Let M be a finite R-module and t an integer between 0 and d. If G_C-dimension of M/IM is finite for all ideals I generated by an R-regular sequence of length…
In the present article, we investigate the following deformation problem. Let $(R,\mathfrak m)$ be a local (graded local) Noetherian ring with a (homogeneous) regular element $y \in \mathfrak m$ and assume that $R/yR$ is quasi-Gorenstein.…
We construct an explicit commutative ring $R$ that is reduced and integrally closed, such that $R_{\mathfrak p}$ is an integrally closed McCoy ring for every maximal ideal $\mathfrak p$ of $R$, while $R$ itself is not a McCoy ring and is…
Let $(R,m)$ be a Noetherian local ring and $I$ an ideal with finite projective dimension. If $R/I$ satisfies some property $\mathcal{P}$, it is natural to ask whether $R$ would also satisfy this property $\mathcal{P}$. This is called the…
Let $R$ be a complete discrete valuation ring, $k(\eta)$ its fraction field, $S:={\rm Spec} R$, $(G_{\eta},\mathcal{L}_{\eta})$ a polarized abelian variety over $k(\eta)$ with $\mathcal{L}_{\eta}$ ample cubical and $\mathcal{G}$ the N\'eron…
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring. We characterize when its completion has an isolated singularity, thereby strengthening the Dao-Takahashi refinement of the Auslander-Huneke-Leuschke-Wiegand theorem. We investigate the ascent…
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…
In this article, we discuss the semicontinuity problem of certain properties on fibers for a morphism of schemes. One aspect of this problem is local. Namely, we consider properties of schemes at the level of local rings, in which the main…
Some results on the Cohen-Macaulayness of the canonical module. We study the $S_2$-fication of rings which are quotients by lattices ideals. Given a simplicial lattice ideal of codimension two $I,$ its Macaulayfication is given explicitly…
