Following our first article, we continue to investigate ultrametic modules over a ring of twisted polynomials of the form $[K;\vfi]$, where $\vfi$ is a ring endomorphism of $K$. The main motivation comes from the the theory of valued…

Let $O_F$ be the ring of integers of a totally real field $F$ of degree $g$. We study the reduction of the moduli space of separably polarized abelian $O_F$-varieties of dimension $g$ modulo $p$ for a fixed prime $p$. The invariants and…

Given a polytope $\sigma\subset \mathbb{R}^m$, its characteristic distribution $\delta_\sigma$ generates a $D$-module which we call the characteristic $D$-module of $\sigma$ and denote by $M_\sigma$. More generally, the characteristic…

In this paper we present algorithms that compute certain local cohomology modules associated to a ring of polynomials containing the rational numbers. In particular we are able to compute the local cohomological dimension of algebraic…

Let R be a countable, principal ideal domain which is not a field and A be a countable R-algebra which is free as an R-module. Then we will construct an aleph_1-free R-module G of rank aleph_1 with endomorphism algebra End_RG=A . Clearly…

We generalize the Gr\"obner basis method for free D-modules to the case of several term orderings induced by a partition of the set of basic variables. Using this generalized Gr\"obner basis technique we prove the existence and give a…

If R is a triangular 2x2 matrix ring, the columns, P and Q, are projective left R-modules. We describe the universal localization of R which makes invertible an R-module morphism P --> Q, generalizing a theorem of A.Schofield. We also…

We prove a Decomposition Theorem for the direct image of an irreducible local system on a smooth complex projective variety under a morphism with values in another smooth complex projective variety. For this purpose, we construct a category…

We study the structure of $D$-modules over a ring $R$ which is a direct summand of a polynomial or a power series ring $S$ with coefficients over a field. We relate properties of $D$-modules over $R$ to $D$-modules over $S$. We show that…

Let $\mathfrak{X}$ be a formal smooth quasi-compact curve over a complete discrete valuation ring of mixed characteristic. We consider over $\mathfrak{X}$ the sheaves of differential operators $\widehat{\mathcal{D}}^{(0)}_{\mathfrak{X}, k ,…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 0. Let H be a subgroup of GL(n,k). We are interested in the determination of the vector invariants of H. When the characteristic of k is 0, it is known that the invariants of d…

We observe that the characteristic cycle of a D-module gives bounds for decomposition numbers of intersection cohomology complexes.

For automorphisms of a polynomial ring in two variables over a domain R, we show that local tameness implies global tameness provided that every 2-generated invertible R-module is free. We give many examples illustrating this property.

We study the class of 2-dimensional affine k-domains R satisfying ML(R) = k, where k is an arbitrary field of characteristic zero. In particular, we obtain the following result: Let R be a localization of a polynomial ring in finitely many…

Let $K$ be an {\em arbitrary} field of characteristic $p>0$ and $\CD (P_n)$ be the ring of differential operators on a polynomial algebra $P_n$ in $n$ variables. A long anticipated {\em analogue of the inequality of Bernstein} is proved for…

We consider the (graded) Matlis dual $\DD(M)$ of a graded $\D$-module $M$ over the polynomial ring $R = k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ ($k$ is a field of characteristic zero), and show that it can be given a structure of $\D$-module in such a way…

Let $M$ be either an $F$-finite $F$-module over a noetherian regular ring of characteristic $p > 0$ or a holonomic $D$-module over a formal power series ring over a field of characteristic zero. We prove that $\injdim_R M$ enjoys a…
