Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module. We show in this paper that, for an integer $t$, if the local cohomology module $H^{i}_\mathfrak{a}(M)$ with respect to an ideal $\frak a$ is finitely…

Let $(R, \mathfrak m)$ be a commutative noetherian local ring and $I$ an ideal of $R$. For every $R$-module $M$, $\gamma_I(M) = \sum\{ \operatorname{Bi} f \,|\, f \in \operatorname{Hom}_R(I,M)\}$ is called the trace of $I$ in $M$. It is…

Let $(R,\frak m)$ be a Noetherian local ring of prime characteristic $p>0$, and $t$ an integer such that $H_{\frak m}^j(R)/0^F_{H^j_{\frak m}(R)}$ has finite length for all $j<t$. The aim of this paper is to show that there exists an…

We obtain various characterizations of commutative Noetherian local rings $(R, \fm)$ in terms of homological dimensions of certain finitely generated modules. For example, we establish that $R$ is Gorenstein if the Gorenstein injective…

We describe new classes of noetherian local rings $R$ whose finitely generated modules $M$ have the property that $Tor_i^R(M,M)=0$ for $i\gg 0$ implies that $M$ has finite projective dimension, or $Ext^i_R(M,M)=0$ for $i\gg 0$ implies that…

Let $p$ be an idempotent ultrafilter over $\mathbb{N}$. For a positive integer $N$, let ${\cal P}_{\leq N}$ denote the additive group of polynomials $P\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ with ${\rm deg}\, P\leq N$ and $P(0)=0$. Given a unitary operator $U$…

Let I be an m-primary ideal of a Noetherian local ring (R,m). We consider the Gorenstein and complete intersection properties of the associated graded ring G(I) and the fiber cone F(I) of I as reflected in their defining ideals as…

Let $G$ be a simple graph on the vertex set $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ with $m$ edges. An algebraic object attached to $G$ is the ideal $P_{G}$ generated by diagonal 2-minors of an $n \times n$ matrix of variables. In this paper we prove that if $G$…

We prove a generalized version of Evans and Griffith's Improved New Intersection Theorem: Let I be an ideal in a local ring R. If a finite free R-complex, concentrated in nonnegative degrees, has I-torsion homology in positive degrees, and…

Ananyan and Hochster proved the existence of a function $\Phi(m,d)$ such that any graded ideal $I$ generated by $m$ forms of degree at most $d$ in a standard graded polynomial ring satisfies $\mathrm{reg}(I) \le \Phi(m,d)$. Relatedly,…

For any commutative ring $A$ we introduce a generalization of $S$--artinian rings using a hereditary torsion theory $\sigma$ instead of a multiplicative closed subset $S\subseteq{A}$. It is proved that if $A$ is a totally $\sigma$--artinian…

For a noetherian ring R we call an R-module M cofinite if there exists an ideal I of R such that M is I-cofinite; we show that every cofinite module M satisfies dim_R(M)<=injdimR(M). As an application we study the question which local…

We prove that each positive power of the maximal ideal of a commutative Noetherian local ring is Tor-rigid, and strongly-rigid. This gives new characterizations of regularity and, in particular, shows that such ideals satisfy the torsion…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian Cohen-Macaulay local ring that has positive dimension and prime characteristic. Li proved that the tensor product of a finitely generated non-free $R$-module $M$ with the Frobenius endomorphism…

Let $P_1,\dots,P_k \colon {\bf Z} \to {\bf Z}$ be polynomials of degree at most $d$ for some $d \geq 1$, with the degree $d$ coefficients all distinct, and admissible in the sense that for every prime $p$, there exists integers $n,m$ such…

For a given length and a given degree and an arbitrary partition of the positive integers, there always is a cell containing a polynomial progression of that length and that degree; moreover, the coefficients of the generating polynomial…

We had shown earlier that for a standard graded ring $R$ and a graded ideal $I$ in characteristic $p>0$, with $\ell(R/I) <\infty$, there exists a compactly supported continuous function $f_{R, I}$ whose Riemann integral is the HK…

Let $P$ be a finitely generated commutative semiring. It was shown recently that if $P$ is a parasemifield (i.e. the multiplicative reduct of $P$ is a group) then $P$ cannot contain the positive rationals $\mathbb{Q}^+$ as its subsemiring.…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a complete intersection ring of codimension $c\geq 2$ and dimension $d\geq 1$. Let $M$ be a finitely generated maximal Cohen-Macaulay $A$-module. Set $M_i=\text{Syz}^A_{i}(M)$. Let $e^{\mathfrak{m}}_i(M)$ be the…

In this paper we study the Hilbert function of $\gr_{\mathfrak{m}}(R)$, when $R$ is a numerical semigroup ring or, equivalently, the coordinate ring of a monomial curve. In particular, we prove a sufficient condition for a numerical…
