Let $(R,\m,k)$ be a local (Noetherian) ring of positive prime characteristic $p$ and dimension $d$. Let $G_\dt$ be a minimal resolution of the residue field $k$, and for each $i\ge 0$, let $\gothic t_i(R) = \lim_{e\to \8}…

In this paper we propose a construction of generic character sheaves on reductive groups over finite local rings at even levels, whose characteristic functions are higher Deligne--Lusztig characters when the parameters are generic. We…

We study rationality properties of irreducible characters of finite groups. We show that the continuity of $2$-rationality is a phenomenon that can be detected in the principal $2$-block, thus refining a recent result of N. N. Hung. We also…

Let $R$ be a noetherian ring, $\fa$ an ideal of $R$ such that $\dim R/\fa=1$ and $M$ a finite $R$--module. We will study cofiniteness and some other properties of the local cohomology modules $\lc^{i}_{\fa}(M)$. For an arbitrary ideal $\fa$…

A splinter is a notion of singularity that has seen numerous recent applications, especially in connection with the direct summand theorem, the mixed characteristic minimal model program, Cohen-Macaulayness of absolute integral closures and…

We extend the notion of type sequence to rings that are not necessarily residually rational. Using this invariant we characterize different types of rings as almost Gorenstein rings and rings of maximal length.

We determine the metric dimension of the annihilating-ideal graph of a local finite commutative principal ring and a finite commutative principal ring with two maximal ideals. We also find the bounds for the metric dimension of the…

A result of Watanabe and Yoshida says that an unmixed local ring of positive characteristic is regular if and only if its Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity is one. We show that, for fixed $p$ (characteristic) and $d$ (dimension), there exist a…

In these notes we will survey recent results on various finitary approximation properties of infinite groups. We will discuss various restrictions on groups that are approximated for example by finite solvable groups or finite-dimensional…

We investigate the transfer of regularity between commutative, noetherian, local rings through a class of local homomorphisms which we call basically regular. We give numerical characterizations of these maps, investigate their behavior…

Suppose that $\pi \: Y \to X$ is a finite map of normal varieties over a perfect field of characteristic $p > 0$. Previous work of the authors gave a criterion for when Frobenius splittings on $X$ (or more generally any $p^{-e}$-linear map)…

The small finitistic dimension fPD$(R)$ of a ring $R$ is defined to be the supremum of projective dimensions of $R$-modules with finite projective resolutions. In this paper, we show that a commutative ring $R$ has fPD$(R)\leq d$ if and…

Let (R,m) be a local ring that contains a field. We show that, when R has equal characteristic p>0 and when H_m^i(R) has finite length for all i<dimR, then R is F-injective if and only if every ideal generated by a system of parameters is…

We introduce a notion of characteristic for connective $p$-local $E_\infty$ ring spectra and study some basic properties. Apart from examples already pointed out by Markus Szymik, we investigate some examples built from Hopf invariant $1$…

In this paper we study homological dimensions of finitely generated modules over commutative Noetherian local rings, called reducing homological dimensions. We obtain new characterizations of Gorenstein and complete intersection local rings…

Every finite local principal ideal ring is the homomorphic image of a discrete valuation ring of a number field, and is determined by five invariants. We present an action of a group, non-commutative in general, on the set of Eisenstein…

Let $(R,m)$ be a complete local ring of positive dimension, which contains a separably closed coefficient field of prime characteristic. Using a vanishing theorem of Peskine-Szpiro, Lyubeznik proved that every element of the local…

We characterise ideals in two-dimensional regular local rings that arise as ideals of maximal minors of indecomposable integrally closed modules of rank two.

In characteristic zero, Zinovy Reichstein and the author generalized the usual relationship between irreducible Zariski closed subsets of the affine space, their defining ideals, coordinate rings, and function fields, to a non-commutative…

In this paper we present a systematic study of the reflexivity properties of homologically finite complexes with respect to semidualizing complexes in the setting of nonlocal rings. One primary focus is the descent of these properties over…
