Let $I$ denote an ideal of a local Gorenstein ring $(R, \mathfrak m)$. Then we show that the local cohomology module $H^c_I(R), c = \height I,$ is indecomposable if and only if $V(I_d)$ is connected in codimension one. Here $I_d$ denotes…

The purpose of this paper is to prove a generalization of Faltings' connectedness theorem which asserts that, for a complete local domain R of dimension n, the punctured spectrum of R/I is connected if the ideal I is generated by at most…

We deduce results on the dimension and connectedness of degeneracy loci of maps of finite modules $f:M\to N$ over a local noetherian ring $(A,{\mathfrak m})$. We show for instance that the expected determinantal bounds on the dimension of…

Given a multiplicatively closed subset $S$ of the integers, there exist Structure Theorems for $LC$ modules over the localization $\mathbb{Z}S^{-1}$ that are "similar" to those of $LCA$ groups. The most notable one is the 1st Theorem: Given…

We define a congruence module $\Psi_A(M)$ associated to a surjective $\mathcal O$-algebra morphism $\lambda\colon A \to \mathcal{O}$, with $\mathcal{O}$ a discrete valuation ring, $A$ a complete noetherian local $\mathcal{O}$-algebra…

Let $A$ be a commutative noetherian ring, let $\mathfrak a$ be an ideal of $A$ and let $n$ be a non-negative integer. In this paper, we study $\mathcal{S}_{n}(\mathfrak{a})$, a certain class of $A$-modules and we find some sufficient…

Motivated by work of Hochster and Huneke, we investigate several constructions related to the $S_2$-ification $T$ of a complete equidimensional local ring $R$: the canonical module, the top local cohomology module, topological spaces of the…

It is a well-known result that, in projective space over a field, every set-theoretical complete intersection of positive dimension in connected in codimension one (Hartshorne [H1,3.4.6] or [H2, Theorem 1.3]). Another important…

The support S of Sabbah's specialization complex is a simultaneous generalization of the set of eigenvalues of the monodromy on Deligne's nearby cycles complex, of the support of the Alexander modules of an algebraic knot, and of certain…

We introduce the notion of being cohomologically complete for objects of the derived category of sheaves of $Z[\hbar]$-modules on a topological space. Then we consider a $Z[\hbar]$-algebra satisfying some suitable conditions and prove…

We prove that the non-ordinary component is connected in the moduli spaces of finite flat models of two-dimensional local Galois representations over finite fields. This was conjectured by Kisin. As an application to global Galois…

We prove that any compact surface with constant positive curvature and conical singularities can be decomposed into irreducible components of standard shape, glued along geodesic arcs connecting conical singularities. This is a spherical…

Let $\mathfrak{a}$ be an ideal of a noetherian (not necessarily local) ring $R$ and $M$ an $R$-module with $\mathrm{Supp}_RM\subseteq\mathrm{V}(\mathfrak{a})$. We show that if $\mathrm{dim}_RM\leq2$, then $M$ is $\mathfrak{a}$-cofinite if…

Let $\mathfrak{a}$ be an ideal of a commutative noetherian (not necessarily local) ring $R$. In the case $\cd(\mathfrak{a},R)\leq 1$, we show that the subcategory of $\mathfrak{a}$-cofinite $R$-modules is abelian. Using this and the…

We prove a relative version of the fact that semiorthogonal decompositions of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves are strongly constrained by the base locus of the canonical linear system. As an application we prove that the…

The notion of linkage with respect to a semidualizing module is introduced. It is shown that over a Cohen-Macaulay local ring with canonical module, every Cohen-Macaulay module of finite Gorenstein injective dimension is linked with respect…

Let R be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring. It is shown that under some mild conditions, the Cohen-Macaulayness property is preserved under linkage. We also study the connection of (S_n) locus of a horizontally linked module and the attached…

Let $(R,\m)$ and $(S,\n)$ be commutative Noetherian local rings, and let $\phi:R\to S$ be a flat local homomorphism such that $\m S = \n$ and the induced map on residue fields $R/\m \to S/\n$ is an isomorphism. Given a finitely generated…

A decorated surface S is a surface with a finite set of special points on the boundary, considered modulo isotopy. Let G be a split reductive group. A pair (G, S) gives rise to a moduli space A(G, S), closely related to the space of G-local…

Let $\mathfrak{a}$ be an ideal of a commutative noetherian ring $R$ and $M, N$ two finitely generated $R$-modules. By using a spectral sequence argument, it is shown that if either $\mathrm{dim}_RM\leq2$ and $\mathrm{H}^{i}_\mathfrak{a}(N)$…
