Suppose $A=k[X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_n]$ is a polynomial ring over a field $k$ and $I$ is an ideal in $A$. Then M. P. Murthy conjectured that $\mu(I)=\mu(I/I^2)$, where $\mu$ denotes the minimal number of generators. Recently, Fasel \cite{F}…

Commutative rings in which every prime ideal is the intersection of maximal ideals are called Hilbert (or Jacobson) rings. We propose to define classical Hilbert modules by the property that {\it classical prime} submodules are the…

We show that every integrally closed $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal $I$ in a commutative Noetherian local ring $(R,\mathfrak{m},k)$ has maximal complexity and curvature, i.e., $ {\rm cx}_R(I) = {\rm cx}_R(k) $ and $ {\rm curv}_R(I) = {\rm…

We study several structure aspects of functor categories from a small additive category to a module category, in particular the category F(A,K) of functors from finitely generated free modules over a commutative ring A to vector spaces over…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian ring, $I$ an ideal of $R$ and $M$ an $R$-module with $\operatorname{cd}(I,M)=c$. In this article, we first show that there exists a descending chain of ideals $I=I_c\supsetneq I_{c-1}\supsetneq \cdots \supsetneq I_0$…

Let $A$ be the coordinate ring of a projective smooth curve over a finite field minus a closed point. For a nontrivial ideal $I \subset A$, Drinfeld defined the notion of structure of level $I$ on a Drinfeld module. We extend this to that…

For an associative ring $R$, the projective level of a complex $F$ is the smallest number of mapping cones needed to build $F$ from projective $R$-modules. We establish lower bounds for the projective level of $F$ in terms of the vanishing…

The well-known Erdos-Ko-Rado Theorem states that if F is a family of k-element subsets of {1,2,...,n} (n>2k-1) such that every pair of elements in F has a nonempty intersection, then |F| is at most $\binom{n-1}{k-1}$. The theorem also…

Let $C \subset {\bf N}^d$ be an affine semigroup, and $R=K[C]$ its semigroup ring. This paper is a collection of various results on "$C$-graded" $R$-modules, especially, monomial ideals. For example, we show the following: If $R$ is normal…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with $1$ and $n$ a natural number. We say that a submodule $N$ of $R^n$ is semiprime if for every $f=(f_1,\ldots,f_n) \in R^n$ such that $f_i f \in N$ for $i=1,\ldots,n$ we have $f \in N$. Our main result is…

We let R be a one-dimensional graded complete intersection, satisfying certain degree conditions which are satisfied whenever R is a numerical semigroup ring of embedding dimension at least three. We show that a graded maximal…

Let R be a quotient ring of a commutative coherent regular ring by a finitely generated ideal. Hovey gave a bijection between the set of coherent subcategories of the category of finitely presented R-modules and the set of thick…

Let R be a (not necessarily local) Noetherian ring and M a finitely generated R-module of finite dimension d. Let \fa be an ideal of R and \fM denote the intersection of all prime ideals \fp in Supp_RH^d_{\fa}(M). It is shown that…

By a classical result of Roitman, a complete intersection $X$ of sufficiently small degree admits a rational decomposition of the diagonal. This means that some multiple of the diagonal by a positive integer $N$, when viewed as a cycle in…

We prove the Avrunin-Scott theorem for quantum complete intersections; the rank variety of a module is isomorphic to its support variety.

Let $k$ be a field with characteristic zero, $R$ be the ring $k[x_1, \cdots, x_n]$ and $I$ be a monomial ideal of $R$. We study the Artinian local algebra $R/I$ when considered as an $R$-module $M$. We show that the largest reduced…

Let R0 be a commutative associative ring (not necessarily unital), G a group and alpha a partial action by ideals that contain local units. We show that R0 is maximal commutative in the partial skew group ring R0*G if and only if R0 has the…

This paper studies the multiplicative ideal structure of commutative rings in which every finitely generated ideal is quasi-projective. Section 2 provides some preliminaries on quasi-projective modules over commutative rings. Section 3…

We introduce a framework in noncommutative geometry consisting of a $*$-algebra $\mathcal A$, a bimodule $\Omega^1$ endowed with a derivation $\mathcal A\to \Omega^1$ and with a Hermitian structure $\Omega^1\otimes \bar{\Omega}^1\to…

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…
