We survey recent results on bounds for Betti numbers of modules over polynomial rings, with an emphasis on lower bounds. Along the way, we give a gentle introduction to free resolutions and Betti numbers, and discuss some of the reasons why…

Let $R$ be a commutative noetherian local ring. In this paper, we study the self-duality and eventual periodicity of minimal free resolutions of finitely generated $R$-modules in terms of their syzygy modules and Ext modules. As an…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring. We prove that the finiteness of the injective dimension of a finitely generated $R$-module $C$ is determined by the existence of a Cohen--Macaulay module $M$ that satisfies an inequality…

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…

We prove the results about mixed Buchsbaum--Rim multiplicities announced in (9.10)(ii) on p.224 of our recent paper [J.Alg.(1994)], including a general mixed-multiplicity formula. In addition, we identify these multiplicities as the…

Let $R$ be a left and right Noetherian ring. We introduce the notion of the torsionfree dimension of finitely generated $R$-modules. For any $n\geq 0$, we prove that $R$ is a Gorenstein ring with self-injective dimension at most $n$ if and…

We describe here some recent progress pertaining to the Serre Intersection Multiplicity Conjecture. In particular, we show that if A is an unramified regular local ring, then just as in the equicharacteristic case, the intersection…

The aim of this paper is to obtain a uniform bound for a certain class of submodules from the following theorem: Let $(R,\frak m)$ be a local ring, let $M$ be a finite $R$--module of dimension $d\ge 1$ and let $\frak q$ be an ideal of $R$…

We present a variant of the Peskine--Szpiro Acyclicity Lemma, and hence a way to certify exactness of a complex of finite modules over a large class of (possibly) noncommutative rings. Specifically, over the class of Auslander regular…

This work concerns finite free complexes over commutative noetherian rings, in particular over group algebras of elementary abelian groups. The main contribution is the construction of complexes such that the total rank of their underlying…

We define, via Gorenstein homomorphisms, a class of local rings over which there exist non-trivial totally reflexive modules. We also provide a general construction of such rings, which indicates their abundance.

The main achievement of this paper is to provide a structure theorem for Artinian, Gorenstein local rings with the property that the square of the maximal ideal is generated by two elements. The moduli problem for this class of local…

We investigate two invariants of Noetherian semiperfect rings, namely the depth and a new invariant we call the "delooping level". These give lower and upper bounds for the finitistic dimension, respectively. As first theorems, we give a…

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.

New homotopy invariant finiteness conditions on modules over commutative rings are introduced, and their properties are studied systematically. A number of finiteness results for classical homological invariants like flat dimension,…

An overview is given of the construction of a differential polynomial ring of functions on the moduli space of Calabi-Yau threefolds. These rings coincide with the rings of quasi modular forms for geometries with duality groups for which…

Let $ R $ be a $ d $-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay (CM) local ring of minimal multiplicity. Set $ S := R/({\bf f}) $, where $ {\bf f} := f_1,\ldots,f_c $ is an $ R $-regular sequence. Suppose $ M $ and $ N $ are maximal CM $ S $-modules. It is…

Over a one-dimensional Gorenstein local domain $R$, let $E$ be the endomorphism ring of the maximal of $R$, viewed as a subring of the integral closure $\overline R$. If there exist finitely generated $R$-modules $M$ and $N$, neither of…

Let $M$ be a finitely generated module over a Noetherian local ring. This paper gives, for a given parameter ideal $Q$ for $M$, bounds for the second Hilbert coefficients ${\mathrm{e}}_Q^2(M)$ in terms of the homological degrees and…

We give a sufficient condition for a bi-invariant weight on a Frobenius bimodule to satisfy the extension property. This condition applies to bi-invariant weights on a finite Frobenius ring as a special case. The complex-valued functions on…
