A "toric face ring", which generalizes both Stanley-Reisner rings and affine semigroup rings, is studied by Bruns, Roemer and their coauthors recently. In this paper, under the "normality" assumption, we describe a dualizing complex of a…

Let $M$ denote a finitely generated module over a Noetherian ring $R$. For an ideal $I \subset R$ there is a study of the endomorphisms of the local cohomology module $H^g_I(M), g = \operatorname{grade} (I,M),$ and related results. Another…

Let $K$ be a field, $R$ a standard graded $K$-algebra and $M$ be a finitely generated graded $R$-module. The rate of $M$, $rate_R(M)$, is a measure of the growth of the shifts in the minimal graded free resolution of $M$. In this paper, we…

Let $k$ be a field and $x,y$ indeterminates over $k$. Let $R=k[x^a,x^{p_1}y^{s_1},\ldots,x^{p_t}y^{s_t},y^b] \subseteq k[x,y]$. We calculate the Hilbert polynomial of $(x^a,y^b)$. The multiplicity of this ideal provides part of a criterion…

Let $K$ be a field and let $R = K[X_1, \ldots, X_m]$ with $m \geq 2$. Give $R$ the standard grading. Let $I$ be a homogeneous ideal of height $g$. Assume $1 \leq g \leq m -1$. Suppose $H^i_I(R) \neq 0$ for some $i \geq 0$. We show (1)…

Among the finitely generated modules over a Noetherian ring R, the semidualizing modules have been singled out due to their particularly nice duality properties. When R is a normal domain, we exhibit a natural inclusion of the set of…

A "squarefree module" over a polynomial ring $S = k[x_1, .., x_n]$ is a generalization of a Stanley-Reisner ring, and allows us to apply homological methods to the study of monomial ideals systematically. Let $Sq$ be the category of…

Let $G$ be an abelian group of order $n$ and let $R$ be a commutative ring which admits a homomorphism ${\Bbb Z}[\zeta_{n}]\ra R$, where $\zeta_{n}$ is a (complex) primitive $n$-th root of unity. Given a finite $R[G\e]$-module $M$, we…

Let $R$ be a commutative unital ring, $\mathfrak{ a}$ an ideal of $R$ and $M$ a fixed $R$-module. We introduce and study generalisations of $\mathfrak{a}$-reduced modules, $\mathfrak{R}_{\mathfrak{ a}}$ and $\mathfrak{a}$-coreduced modules,…

A semidualizing module is a generalization of Grothendieck's dualizing module. For a local Cohen-Macaulay ring $R$, the ring itself and its canonical module are always realized as (trivial) semidualizing modules. Reasonably, one might…

A finitely generated module $M$ over a local ring is called a sequentially generalized Cohen-Macaulay module if there is a filtration of submodules of $M$: $M_0\subset M_1\subset ... \subset M_t=M$ such that $\dim M_0<\dim M_1< >... <\dim…

For a standard graded Cohen-Macaulay ring $S$, if the quotient $S/(\underline{x})$ admits non-free totally reflexive modules, where $\underline{x}$ is a system of parameters consisting of elements of degree one, then so does the ring $S$.…

An explicit construction is given of a minimal free resolution of the ideal generated by all squarefree monomials of a given degree. The construction relies upon and exhibits the natural action of the symmetric group on the syzygy modules.…

In this article we investigate when a homogeneous ideal in a graded ring is normal, that is, when all positive powers of the ideal are integrally closed. We are particularly interested in homogeneous ideals in an N-graded ring generated by…

Both the classes of $R$-coneat injective modules and its superclass, pure Baer injective modules, are shown to be preenveloping. The former class is contained in another one, namely, self coneat injectives, i.e. modules $M$ for which every…

Let $R=K[x_1,...,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ and let $J$ be a matroidal ideal of degree $d$ in $R$. In this paper, we study the class of sequentially Cohen-Macaulay matroidal ideals. In particular, all…

We discuss invariants of Cohen-Macaulay local rings that admit a canonical module $\omega$. Attached to each such ring R, when $\omega$ is an ideal, there are integers--the type of R, the reduction number of $\omega$--that provide valuable…

Let $G$ be a group. A ring $R$ is called a graded ring (or $G$-graded ring) if there exist additive subgroups $R_{\alpha }$ of $R$ indexed by the elements $\alpha \in G$ such that $R=\bigoplus_{\alpha \in G}R_{\alpha }$ and $R_{\alpha…

Consider a height two ideal, $I$, which is minimally generated by $m$ homogeneous forms of degree $d$ in the polynomial ring $R=k[x,y]$. Suppose that one column in the homogeneous presenting matrix $\f$ of $I$ has entries of degree $n$ and…

In this paper, we classify certain subcategories of modules over a ring R. A wide subcategory of R-modules is an Abelian subcategory of R-Mod that is closed under extensions. We give a complete classification of wide subcategories of…
