We introduce a fundamental homological invariant, called Serre depth, which stratifies Serre's conditions in the same way that depth stratifies the Cohen-Macaulay property. We study the Serre depths of modules over arbitrary Noetherian…

In this note, finite modules locally of finite injective dimension over commutative Noetherian rings are characterized in terms of vanishing of Ext modules.

We conjecture that any perverse sheaf on a compact aspherical K\"ahler manifold has non-negative Euler characteristic. This extends the Singer-Hopf conjecture in the K\"ahler setting. We verify the stronger conjecture when the manifold X…

Let $R$ denote a commutative Noetherian (not necessarily local) ring, $\frak a$ an ideal of $R$ and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module. The purpose of this paper is to show that $f^n_{\frak a}(M)=\inf \{0\leq i\in\mathbb{Z}|\, \dim…

We discuss Euler characteristics for finitely generated modules over Iwasawa algebras. We show that the Euler characteristic of a module is well-defined whenever the 0th homology group is finite if and only if the relevant compact p-adic…

A theorem of Grove and Searle directly establishes that positive curvature 2d manifolds M with effective circular symmetry group of dimension 8 or less have positive Euler characteristic X(M): the fixed point set N consists of even…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring and $M,N$ be finitely generated $R$-modules. We prove a number of results of the form: if $\mbox{Hom}_R(M,N)$ has some nice properties and $\mbox{Ext}^{1 \leq i \leq n}_R(M,N)=0$ for some $n$,…

Let $R$ be a commutative noetherian ring, $\fa$ an ideal of $R$ and $M,N$ finite $R$--modules. We prove that the following statements are equivalent. \begin{enumerate} \item[(i)] $\lc^{i}_{\fa}(M,N)$ is finite for all $i< n$. \item[(ii)]…

Let $(R,\fr m)$ be a Noetherian local ring, $I$ an ideal of $R$ and $M, N$ two finitely generated $R$-modules. The first result of this paper is to prove a vanishing theorem for generalized local cohomology modules which says that…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m}_R,k)$ be a one-dimensional complete local reduced $k$-algebra over a field of characteristic zero. R. Berger conjectured that $R$ is regular if and only if the universally finite module of differentials $\Omega_R$ is…

We show that the conditions defining total reflexivity for modules are independent. In particular, we construct a commutative Noetherian local ring $R$ and a reflexive $R$-module $M$ such that $\Ext^i_R(M,R)=0$ for all $i>0$, but…

Let $\frak a$ be an ideal of a commutative noetherian ring $R$ with unity and $M$ an $R$-module supported at $\V(\fa)$. Let $n$ be the supermum of the integers $i$ for which $H^{\fa}_i(M)\neq 0$. We show that $M$ is $\fa$-cofinite if and…

Let $R$ be a commutative noetherian ring, and let $\mathscr{S}$(resp. $\mathscr{L}$) be a Serre(resp. localizing) subcategory of the category of $R$-modules. If $\Bbb F$ is an unbounded complex of $R$-modules Tor-perpendicular to…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $\fa$ an ideal of $R$, and let $M$ be a finitely generated $R$-module. For a non-negative integer $t$, we prove that $H_{\fa}^t(M)$ is $\fa$-cofinite whenever $H_{\fa}^t(M)$ is Artinian and…

In this paper, we characterize several properties of commutative notherian local rings in terms of the left perpendicular category of the category of finitely generated modules of finite projective dimension. As an application we prove that…

Let $R$ be a regular ring of dimension $d$ containing a field $K$ of characteristic zero. If $E$ is an $R$-module let $Ass^i E = \{ Q \in \ Ass E \mid \ height Q = i \}$. Let $P$ be a prime ideal in $R$ of height $g$. We show that if $R/P$…

The long standing Lech's conjecture in commutative algebra states that for a flat local extension $(R,\mathfrak{m})\to (S,\mathfrak{n})$ of Noetherian local rings, we have an inequality on the Hilbert--Samuel multiplicities: $e(R)\leq…

For any finitely generated module $M$ with non-zero rank over a commutative one-dimensional Noetherian local domain, we study a numerical invariant $\operatorname{h}(M)$ based on a partial trace ideal of $M$. We study its properties and…

The purpose of the present paper is to prove some properties of the strongly irreducible submodules in the arithmetical and Noetherian modules over a commutative ring. The relationship among the families of strongly irreducible submodules,…

We study homological properties of test modules that are, in principle, modules that detect finite homological dimensions. The main outcome of our results is a generalization of a classical theorem of Auslander and Bridger: we prove that,…
