Let A be a ring of dimension d and let P be a projective A-module of rank d. We prove that if for every finite extension R of A, R^d is cancellative, then P is cancellative. This gives an alternate proof of Bhatwadekar's result: every…

Motivated by the Bass conjecture, we study finitely generated modules of finite injective dimension and the additional constraints they impose on the ambient ring. Beyond the Cohen--Macaulay property, the existence of such modules forces…

A method of constructing (finitely generated and projective) right module structure on a finitely generated projective left module over an algebra is presented. This leads to a construction of a first order differential calculus on such a…

A module $M$ is {called} stable if it has no nonzero projective direct summand. For a ring $ R $, we study conditions under which $R$-modules from certain classes decompose as a direct sum of a projective submodule and a stable submodule.…

Let $A$ be a regular ring containing a field of characteristic $p>0$ and let $R=A[x_1,\ldots,x_m,y_1,\ldots,y_n]$ be standard bigraded over $A$, i.e., $\operatorname{bideg}(A)=(0,0)$, $\operatorname{bideg}(x_i)=(1,0)$ and…

Let $R$ be a ring. An $R$-module $M$ is said to be a weak $w$-projective module if ${\rm Ext}_R^1(M,N)=0$ for all $N \in \mathcal{P}_{w}^{\dagger_\infty}$ (see, \cite{FLQ}). In this paper, we introduce and study some properties of weak…

A method is provided for computing an upper bound of the complexity of a module over a local ring, in terms of vanishing of certain cohomology modules. We then specialize to complete intersections, which are precisely the rings over which…

Let M be a filtered module. Some properties of elements of M are "generic" in the following sense: (being open/stable) if an element z of M has a property P then any approximation of z has P; (being dense) any element of M is approximated…

A right $R$-module $M$ is said to be {\it FI-extending} if any fully invariant submodule of $M$ is essential in a direct summand of $M$. In this short note we prove that if $R$ has ACC on the right annihilators, then $R_R$ is FI-extending…

We investigate finiteness conditions on modules of bounded projective dimension and their connection with generalized notions of coherence. For a ring $R$, we consider the class $\mathsf{FP}_n^{\le d}(R)$ of finitely $n$-presented modules…

In this paper we study the finitistic dimensions of commutative noetherian non-positive DG-rings with finite amplitude. We prove that any DG-module $M$ of finite flat dimension over such a DG-ring satisfies $\mathrm{projdim}_A(M) \leq…

Let R be a regular, local and F-finite ring defined over a field of finite characteristic. Let I be an ideal of height c with normal quotient $A=R/I$. It is shown that the local cohomology module H^c_I(R) contains a unique simple…

We prove a characterization of monomial projective representations of finitely generated nilpotent groups. We also characterize polycyclic groups whose projective representations are finite dimensional.

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m},K)$ be a local ring, and let $M$ be an $R$-module of finite length. We study asymptotic invariants, $\beta^F_i(M,R),$ defined by twisting with Frobenius the free resolution of $M$. This family of invariants includes the…

In recent decades, the defect of finite extensions of valued fields has emerged as the main obstacle in several fundamental problems in algebraic geometry such as the local uniformization problem. Hence, it is important to identify…

Developing a previous idea of Faltings, we characterize the complete intersections of codimension 2 in P^n, n>=3, over an algebraically closed field of any characteristic, among l.c.i. X, as those that are subcanonical and…

A description is given of those sequences ${\Bbb S}= (S(0),S(1),\dots,S(l))$ of simple modules over a finite dimensional algebra for which there are only finitely many uniserial modules with consecutive composition factors…

A notion of rigidity with respect to an arbitrary semidualizing complex C over a commutative noetherian ring R is introduced and studied. One of the main result characterizes C-rigid complexes. Specialized to the case when C is the relative…

Let F* be the finite field of q elements and let P(n,q) be the projective space of dimension n-1 over F*. We construct a family H^{n}_{k,i} of combinatorial homology modules associated to P(n,q) over a coefficient field F field of…

Let a be an ideal of a commutative Noetherian ring R with identity. We study finitely generated R-modules M whose a-finiteness and a-cohomological dimensions are equal. In particular, we examine relative analogues of quasi-Buchsbaum,…
