This paper studies infinite acyclic complexes of finitely generated free modules over a commutative noetherian local ring $(R,m)$ with $m^3=0$. Conclusive results are obtained on the growth of the ranks of the modules in acyclic complexes,…

Let R be a commutative Noetherian domain, and let M and N be finitely generated R-modules. We give new criteria for determining when M tensor N has torsion. We also give constructive formulas for producing a module in the isomorphism class…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring. Assume that $R$ has a pair $\{x,y\}$ of exact zerodivisors such that $\dim R/(x,y)\ge2$ and all totally reflexive $R/(x)$-modules are free. We show that the first and second Brauer--Thrall…

We consider a category of modules that admit compatible actions of the commutative algebra of Laurent polynomials and the Lie algebra of divergence zero vector fields on a torus and have a weight decomposition with finite dimensional weight…

It is proved that a module M over a commutative noetherian ring R is injective if Ext^i((R/p)_p,M)=0 holds for every i\ge 1 and every prime ideal p in R. This leads to the following characterization of injective modules: If F is faithfully…

We introduce and study a nontrivial generalization of uniserial modules and rings. A module is called weakly uniserial if its submodules are comparable regarding embedding. Also, a right (resp., left) weakly uniserial ring is a ring which…

Given finitely generated modules $M$ and $N$ over a local ring $R$, the tensor product $M\otimes_RN$ typically has nonzero torsion. Indeed, the assumption that the tensor product is torsion-free influences the structure and vanishing of the…

A submodule $W$ of a p-primary module $M$ of bounded order is known to be regular if $W$ and $M$ have simultaneous bases. In this paper we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for regularity of a submodule.

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.

Let $M$ be a finitely generated module over a ring $\Lambda$. With certain mild assumptions on $\Lambda$, it is proven that $M$ is a reflexive $\Lambda$-module, once $M \cong M^{**}$ as a $\Lambda$-module.

The aim of this paper is to study the notions of $\mathcal{A}$-C3 and $\mathcal{A}$-D3 modules for some class $\mathcal{A}$ of right modules. Several characterizations of these modules are provided and used to describe some well-known…

Let $R$ be a ring and $S$ a multiplicative subset of $R$. We introduce and study the notions of ($u$-)$S$-$w$-Noetherian modules and ($u$-)$S$-$w$-principal ideal modules. Some characterizations of these new concepts are given.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity and S a multiplicative subset of R. The aim of this paper is to study the class of commutative rings in which every S-flat module is flat (resp., projective). An R-module M is said to be S-flat if…

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 $S$ be a deeply embedded, equicharacteristic, Artinian Gorenstein local ring. We prove that if $R$ is a non-Gorenstein quotient of $S$ of small colength, then every totally reflexive $R$-module is free. Indeed, the second syzygy of the…

We obtain a partial classification of the finite groups $G$ for which the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z} G$ has projective cancellation, i.e. for which $P \oplus \mathbb{Z} G \cong Q \oplus \mathbb{Z} G$ implies $P \cong Q$ for projective…

We formulate a notion of "geometric reductivity" in an abstract categorical setting which we refer to as adequacy. The main theorem states that the adequacy condition implies that the ring of invariants is finitely generated. This result…

A pair of ideals $J\subseteq I\subseteq R$ has been called Aluffi torsion-free if the Aluffi algebra of $I/J$ is isomorphic with the corresponding Rees algebra. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the Aluffi torsion-free…

For four wide classes of topological rings $\mathfrak R$, we show that all flat left $\mathfrak R$-contramodules have projective covers if and only if all flat left $\mathfrak R$-contramodules are projective if and only if all left…

We study Martsinkovsky-Russell torsion modules [MaRu20] with pure embeddings as an abstract elementary class. We give a model-theoretic characterization of the pure-injective and the $\Sigma$-pure-injective modules relative to the class of…
