Using symmetric algebras we simplify (and slightly strengthen) the Bruns-Eisenbud-Evans "generalized principal ideal theorem" on the height of order ideals of non-minimal generators in a module. We also obtain a simple proof and an…

The classical "generalized principal ideal theorems" of Macaulay, Eagon-Northcott, and others give sharp bounds on the heights of determinantal ideals in arbitrary rings. But in regular local rings (or graded polynomial rings) these are far…

Let $P$ be a finitely generated ideal of a commutative ring $R$. Krull's Principal Ideal Theorem states that if $R$ is Noetherian and $P$ is minimal over a principal ideal of $R$, then $P$ has height at most one. Straightforward examples…

Let $I$ be an ideal of height $d$ in a regular local ring $(R,m,k=R/m)$ of dimension $n$ and let $\Omega$ denote the canonical module of $R/I$. In this paper we first prove the equivalence of the following: the non-vanishing of the edge…

Let M be a filtered module. Some properties of elements of M are "generic" in the following sense: (being open/stable) if an element z of M has a property P then any approximation of z has P; (being dense) any element of M is approximated…

Let \fa be an ideal of a commutative Noetherian ring R and M and N two finitely generated R-modules. Let \cd_{\fa}(M,N) denote the supremum of the i's such that H^i_{\fa}(M,N)\neq 0. First, by using the theory of Gorenstein homological…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian local ring and let $I$ be an ideal in $R$. The ideal $I$ is called balanced if the colon ideal $J:I$ is independent of the choice of the minimal reduction $J$ of $I$. Under suitable assumptions, Ulrich showed that…

In 2007, Y. Shimoda, in connection with a long-standing question of J. Sally, asked whether a Noetherian local ring, such that all its prime ideals different from the maximal ideal are complete intersections, has Krull dimension at most…

A commutative noetherian local ring $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ is Gorenstein if and only if every parameter ideal of $R$ is irreducible. Although irreducible parameter ideals may exist in non-Gorenstein rings, Marley, Rogers, and Sakurai show there…

We prove that if M is a finitely-generated module of dimension d with finite local cohomologies over a Noetherian local ring, and if the ith local cohomology module of M is zero unless i = d, i = 0, and i = r for some r strictly between 0…

We investigate homological and depth-theoretic properties of finitely generated modules of finite projective dimension over Noetherian local rings. A central theme is the study of criteria for freeness and reflexivity derived from the…

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 $R$…

For two ideals $I$ and $J$ of a noetherian ring, we characterize, in terms of the vanishing of Tor modules, when the associated graded ring of the sum $I+J$ is isomorphic to the tensor product of the associated graded ring of $I$ and the…

Let $R$ be a commutative noetherian ring, $I,J$ be two ideals of $R$, $M$ be an $R$-module, and $\mathcal{S}$ be a Serre class of $R$-modules. A positive answer to the Huneke$^,$s conjecture is given for a noetherian ring $R$ and minimax…

Let $K$ be a field and let $R = K[X_1, \ldots, X_m]$ with $m \geq 2$. Give $R$ the standard grading. Let $I$ be a homogeneous ideal of height $g$. Assume $1 \leq g \leq m -1$. Suppose $H^i_I(R) \neq 0$ for some $i \geq 0$. We show (1)…

Let (R,m) be a Noetherian local domain of dimension n that is essentially finitely generated over a field and let R^ denote the m-adic completion of R. Matsumura has shown that n-1 is the maximal height possible for prime ideals of R^ in…

In our recent work, we introduced a generalization of the prime ideal factorization in Dedekind domains for submodules of finitely generated modules over Noetherian rings. In this article, we find conditions for the intersection of two…

Let R be a Noetherian standard graded ring, and M and N two finitely generated graded R-modules. We introduce reg_R (M,N) by using the notion of generalized local cohomology instead of local cohomology, in the definition of regularity. We…

For a proper submodule $N$ of a finitely generated module $M$ over a Noetherian ring, the product of prime ideals which occur in a regular prime extension filtration of $M$ over $N$ is defined as its generalized prime ideal factorization in…

Our purpose in this work is multifold. First, we provide general criteria for the finiteness of the projective and injective dimensions of a finite module $M$ over a (commutative) Noetherian ring $R$. Second, in the other direction, we…
