We construct elementary subgroups of all reductive groups of the local isotropic rank $\geq 2$ over rings and prove their basic properties. In particular, our results may be applied to the automorphism groups of any finitely generated…

Let \fa be an ideal of a commutative Noetherian ring R and M and N two finitely generated R-modules. Let \cd_{\fa}(M,N) denote the supremum of the i's such that H^i_{\fa}(M,N)\neq 0. First, by using the theory of Gorenstein homological…

Let R be a noetherian ring which is a finite module over its centre Z(R). This paper studies the consequences for R of the hypothesis that it is a maximal Cohen Macaulay Z(R)-module. Old results are reviewed and a number of new results are…

For a commutative noetherian ring A, we compare the support of a complex of A-modules with the support of its cohomology. This leads to a classification of all full subcategories of A-modules which are thick (that is, closed under taking…

Let $A$ be an Iwanaga-Gorenstein ring. Enomoto conjectured that a self-orthogonal $A$-module has finite projective dimension. We prove this conjecture for $A$ having the property that every indecomposable non-projective maximal…

We prove that if $R$ is a commutative Noetherian ring, then every countably generated flat $R$-module is quite flat, i.e., a direct summand of a transfinite extension of localizations of $R$ in countable multiplicative subsets. We also show…

Let A be a finite-dimensional algebra. If A is self-injective, then all modules are reflexive. Marczinzik recently has asked whether A has to be self-injective in case all the simple modules are reflexive. Here, we exhibit an 8-dimensional…

We study GL-equivariant modules over the infinite variable polynomial ring $S = k[x_1, x_2, ..., x_n, ...]$ with $k$ an infinite field of characteristic $p > 0$. We extend many of Sam--Snowden's far-reaching results from characteristic zero…

We show that the category of finitely generated free modules over certain local rings is n-angulated for every n at least 3. In fact, we construct several classes of n-angles, parametrized by equivalence classes of units in the local rings.…

Given a significative class $F$ of commutative rings, we study the precise conditions under which a commutative ring $R$ has an $F$-envelope. A full answer is obtained when $F$ is the class of fields, semisimple commutative rings or…

It is known that every three dimensional Gorenstein toric singularity has a crepant resolution. Although it is not unique, all crepant resolutions are connected by repeating the operation "flop". On the other hand, this singularity also has…

We consider the question of whether the injective modules generate the unbounded derived category of a ring as a triangulated category with arbitrary coproducts. We give an example of a non-Noetherian commutative ring where they don't, but…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring of prime characteristic $p$ and $f:R\to R$ the Frobenius ring homomorphism. For $e\ge 1$ let $R^{(e)}$ denote the ring $R$ viewed as an $R$-module via $f^e$. Results of Peskine, Szpiro, and…

We show that the cosupport of a commutative noetherian ring is precisely the set of primes appearing in a minimal pure-injective resolution of the ring. As an application of this, we prove that every countable commutative noetherian ring…

We prove that a commutative noetherian ring $R$ is Gorenstein of dimension at most $d$ if $d+1$ is an upper bound on the G-levels of perfect $R$-complexes. For $R$ local, we prove a formula for levels, with respect to injective or…

Suppose $G$ is a finite group acting on a projective scheme $X$ over a commutative Noetherian ring $R$. We study the $RG$-modules $\HH^0(X,\mathcal{F} \otimes \mathcal{L}^n)$ when $n \ge 0$, and $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{L}$ are coherent…

Let R be a countable, principal ideal domain which is not a field and A be a countable R-algebra which is free as an R-module. Then we will construct an aleph_1-free R-module G of rank aleph_1 with endomorphism algebra End_RG=A . Clearly…

We prove that cancellation of reflexive modules over affine rings holds under some restrictions. We construct examples to show that this is false even over polynomial rings without the extra assumptions.

Based upon properties of ordinal length, we introduce a new class of modules, the binary modules, and study their endomorphism ring. The nilpotent endomorphisms form a two-sided ideal, and after factoring this out, we get a commutative…

The aim of this note is to understand under which conditions invertible modules over a commutative S-algebra in the sense of Elmendorf, Kriz, Mandell and May give rise to elements in the algebraic Picard group of invertible graded modules…
