We consider matrices with entries in a local ring, Mat(m,n;R). Fix an action of group G on Mat(m,n;R), and a subset of allowed deformations, \Sigma in Mat(m,n;R). The standard question (along the lines of Singularity Theory) is the…

We show that, with some technical conditions, an abelian category can be embedded into the category of bimodules over a ring. The case of semisimple rigid monoidal categories is studied in more detail.

Let $\mathfrak{a}$ be an ideal of a commutative noetherian ring $R$, $\mathcal{S}$ a Serre subcategory of $R$-modules satisfying the condition $C_\mathfrak{a}$ and $\mathcal{N}$ the subcategory of finitely generated $R$-modules. In this…

Let G be a finite group of complex n by n unitary matrices generated by reflections acting on C^n. Let R be the ring of invariant polynomials, and \chi be a multiplicative character of G. Let \Omega^\chi be the R-module of \chi-invariant…

It is a theorem of Artin, Tits et al. that a finite simple group is determined by its order, with the exception of the groups (A_3(2), A_2(4)) and (B_n(q), C_n(q)) for n > 2, q odd. We investigate the situation for finite semisimple groups…

Let $(R, \frak m)$ be a homomorphic image of a Cohen-Macaulay local ring and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module. We use the splitting of local cohomology to shed a new light on the structure of non-Cohen-Macaulay modules. Namely, we show…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated abelian group, and let $S = A[x_1, ..., x_n]$ be a $G$-graded polynomial ring over a commutative ring $A$. Let $I_1, ..., I_s$ be $G$-homogeneous ideals in $S$, and let $M$ be a finitely generated $G$-graded…

We compute the rank of the group of central units in the integral group ring $\Z G$ of a finite strongly monomial group $G$. The formula obtained is in terms of the strong Shoda pairs of $G$. Next we construct a virtual basis of the group…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring with residue field $k$. Using the structure of Vogel cohomology, for any finitely generated module $M$, we introduce a new dimension, called $\zeta$-dimension, denoted by $\zeta-dim_R M$. This…

In this paper we develop an axiomatic setup for algorithmic homological algebra of Abelian categories. This is done by exhibiting all existential quantifiers entering the definition of an Abelian category, which for the sake of…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring and let $\fa$ be a proper ideal of $R$. A non-zero finitely generated $R$-module $M$ is called relative Cohen-Macaulay with respect to $\fa$ if there is precisely one non vanishing local…

In this paper we show that for a torsion-free abelian group $G$, $\operatorname{rank}_\mathbb{Z}G<\infty$ if and only if there exists a Noetherian $G$-graded ring $R$ such that the set $\{R_g \neq 0\}$ generates the group $G$. For every $G$…

A finitely generated module C over a commutative noetherian ring R is semidualizing if Hom_R(C,C) \cong R and Ext^i_R(C,C) = 0 for all i \geq 1. For certain local Cohen-Macaulay rings (R,m), we verify the equality of Hilbert-Samuel…

Let $G$ be a finite group. A finite unordered sequence $S = g_1 \boldsymbol{\cdot} \ldots \boldsymbol{\cdot} g_{\ell}$ of terms from $G$, where repetition is allowed, is a product-one sequence if its terms can be ordered such that their…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring with non-zero identity and $\fa$ an ideal of $R$. Let $M$ be a finite $R$--module of of finite projective dimension and $N$ an arbitrary finite $R$--module. We characterize the membership of the…

We introduce to the context of multigraded modules the methods of modules over categories from algebraic topology and homotopy theory. We develop the basic theory quite generally, with a view toward future applications to a wide class of…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Noetherian local ring and $\widehat{R}$ its $\mathfrak{m}$-adic completion. We study the problem of determining when a finitely generated $\widehat{R}$-module arises from an $R$-module, i.e., when it is…

Let $\Lambda$ be a $\mathbb{Z}$-graded artin algebra. Two classical results of Gordon and Green state that if $\Lambda$ has only finitely many indecomposable gradable modules, up to isomorphism, then $\Lambda$ has finite representation…

It is proved that the sum of the Loewy lengths of the homology modules of a finite free complex F over a local ring R is bounded below by a number depending only on R. This result uncovers, in the structure of modules of finite projective…
