We study some aspects of reflexive modules. For example, we search conditions for which reflexive modules are free or being very close to free modules.

Conditions on the Koszul complex of a noetherian local ring $R$ guarantee that $\mathrm{Tor}^{R}_{i}(M,N)$ is non-zero for infinitely many $i$, when $M$ and $N$ are finitely generated $R$-modules of infinite projective dimension. These…

Let $I$ denote an ideal in a commutative Noetherian ring $R$. Let $M$ be an $R$-module. The $I$-adic completion is defined by $\hat{M}^I = \varprojlim{}_{\alpha} M/I^{\alpha}M$. Then $M$ is called $I$-adic complete whenever the natural…

Motivated by a recent result of Yoshino, and the work of Bergh on reducible complexity, we introduce reducing versions of invariants of finitely generated modules over commutative Noetherian local rings. Our main result considers modules…

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 Noetherian ring, $\fa$ an ideal of $R$ and $M$ an $R$-module. We intend to establish the dual of Grothendieck's Vanishing Theorem for local homology modules. We conjecture that $H^{\fa}_i(M)=0$ for all $i>\Mag_RM$.…

Let $I$ be an ideal of a commutative Noetherian complete local ring $R$. In the present paper, we establish the equality $\dim R/(I+\Ann_R M)=\dim M$ for all $I$-cofinite $R$-modules $M$.

In this paper, we study Serre's condition $(S_n)$ for tensor products of modules over a commutative noetherian local ring. The paper aims to show the following. Let $M$ and $N$ be finitely generated module over a commutative noetherian…

Let $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ be a noetherian local ring, $M$ a separated $R$-module (i.e. $\bigcap\limits_{n\geq 1}\mathfrak{m}^n M = 0$) and $\widehat{M} = \lim\limits_{\leftarrow} M/\mathfrak{m}^n M$ its completion. Generally, $M$ is not pure…

Let $R$ be a finitely generated positively graded algebra over a Noetherian local ring $B$, and $\mathfrak{m} = [R]_+$ be the graded irrelevant ideal of $R$. We provide a local criterion characterizing the $B$-freeness of all the local…

Let R be a commutative noetherian ring. Denote by mod R the category of finitely generated R-modules. In this paper, we study n-torsionfree modules in the sense of Auslander and Bridger, by comparing them with n-syzygy modules, and modules…

For a Noetherian local domain $R$ let $R^+$ be the absolute integral closure of $R$ and let $R_{\infty}$ be the perfect closure of $R$, when $R$ has prime characteristic. In this paper we investigate the projective dimension of residue…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $\fa$ an ideal of $R$, $M$ and $N$ be two finitely generated $R$-modules. Let $t$ be a positive integer. We prove that if $R$ is local with maximal ideal $\fm$ and $ M\otimes_R N$ is of finite…

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 $R$ be a local ring and let $M$ be a finitely generated $R$-module. Appealing to the natural left module structure of $M$ over its endomorphism ring and corresponding center $Z(\operatorname{End}_R(M))$, we study when various…

Let R be a commutative noetherian local ring and consider the set of isomorphism classes of indecomposable totally reflexive R-modules. We prove that if this set is finite, then either it has exactly one element, represented by the rank 1…

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 p be a prime ideal in a commutative noetherian ring R and denote by k(p) the residue field of the local ring R_p. We prove that if an R-module M satisfies Ext_R^n(k(p),M) = 0 for some n >= dim R, then Ext_R^i(k(p),M) = 0 holds for all i…

We show that every deconstructible class of modules with all embeddings, all pure embedding and all RD-embeddings is stable. The argument is presented in the context of abstract classes of modules without amalgamation and the key idea is to…

We investigate symmetry in the vanishing of Ext for finitely generated modules over local Gorenstein rings. In particular, we define a class of local Gorenstein rings, which we call AB rings, and show that for finitely generated modules $M$…
