Related papers: Naive Noncommutative Blowing Up

In 2008, Rogalski and Zhang showed that if R is a strongly noetherian connected graded algebra over an algebraically closed field, then R has a canonical birationally commutative factor. This factor is, up to finite dimension, a twisted…

In an earlier paper (D. S. Keeler, D. Rogalski, and J. T. Stafford, ``Naive noncommutative blowing up,'' Duke Math. J., 126 (2005), 491-546), we defined and investigated the properties of the naive blowup of an integral projective scheme X…

Let R be the free algebra on x and y modulo the relations x^5=yxy and y^2=xyx endowed with the grading deg x=1 and deg y=2. Let B_3 denote the blow up of the projective plane at three non-colliear points. The main result in this paper is…

We establish a new fundamental class of varieties in nonnoetherian algebraic geometry related to the central geometry of dimer algebras. Specifically, given an affine algebraic variety $X$ and a finite collection of non-intersecting…

We develop a ring-theoretic approach for blowing up many noncommutative projective surfaces. Let T be an elliptic algebra (meaning that, for some central element g of degree 1, T/gT is a twisted homogeneous coordinate ring of an elliptic…

Let A=k+A_1+A_2.... be a connected graded, noetherian k-algebra that is generated in degree one over an algebraically closed field k. Suppose that the graded quotient ring Q(A) has the form Q(A)=k(Y)[t,t^{-1},sigma], where sigma is an…

We introduce a theory of geometry for nonnoetherian commutative algebras with finite Krull dimension. In particular, we establish new notions of normalization and height: depiction (a special noetherian overring) and geometric codimension.…

Let X be a projective surface, let \sigma be an automorphism of X, and let L be a \sigma-ample invertible sheaf on X. We study the properties of a family of subrings, parameterized by geometric data, of the twisted homogeneous coordinate…

We initiate a unified, axiomatic study of noncommutative algebras R whose prime spectra are, in a natural way, finite unions of commutative noetherian spectra. Our results illustrate how these commutative spectra can be functorially ``sewn…

The aim of this note is to understand under which conditions invertible modules over a commutative S-algebra in the sense of Elmendorf, Kriz, Mandell and May give rise to elements in the algebraic Picard group of invertible graded modules…

One of the major open problems in noncommutative algebraic geometry is the classification of noncommutative projective surfaces (or, slightly more generally, of noetherian connected graded domains of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension 3). Earlier…

Let k be a base commutative ring, R a commutative ring of coefficients, X a quasi-compact quasi-separated k-scheme, A a sheaf of Azumaya algebras over X of rank r, and Hmo(R) the category of noncommutative motives with R-coefficients.…

The naive blow-up algebras developed by Keeler-Rogalski-Stafford, after examples of Rogalski, are the first known class of connected graded algebras that are noetherian but not strongly noetherian. This failure of the strong noetherian…

For a finite ring $R$, not necessarily commutative, we prove that the category of $\text{VIC}(R)$-modules over a left Noetherian ring $\mathbf{k}$ is locally Noetherian, generalizing a theorem of the authors that dealt with commutative $R$.…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the class of rings for which every indecomposable right module is pure-projective or pure-injective. When $R$ is a Noetherian local commutative ring of maximal ideal $P$, it is proven that $R\in\mathcal{P}$ if and only…

Let R be a commutative ring and S be an R-algebra. It is well-known that if N is an injective R-module, then Hom(S,N) is an injective S-module. The converse is not true, not even if R is a commutative noetherian local ring and S is its…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring of dimension $d$, $S = R[X]$ or $R[X, 1/X]$ and $P$ a finitely generated projective $S$ module of rank $r$. Then $P$ is cancellative if $P$ has a unimodular element and $r \geq d + 1$. Moreover if $r \geq \dim…

We develop an approach to noncommutative algebraic geometry ``in the perturbative regime" around ordinary commutative geometry. Let R be a noncommutative algebra and A=R/[R,R] its commutativization. We describe what should be the formal…

Let R be a ring (not necessarily commutative). A left R-module is said to be cotorsion if Ext 1 R (G, M) = 0 for any flat R-module G. It is well known that each pure-injective left R-module is cotorsion, but the converse does not hold: for…

Let n be a positive integer, and let A be a strongly commutative differential graded (DG) algebra over a commutative ring R. Assume that (a) B=A[X_1,...,X_n] is a polynomial extension of A, where X_1,...,X_n are variables of positive…
