Dualizing complex of a toric face ring

Commutative Algebra 2008-09-02 v1

Abstract

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 toric face ring RR in a very concise way. Since RR is not a graded ring in general, the proof is not straightforward. We also develop the squarefree module theory over RR, and show that the Buchsbaum property and the Gorenstein* property of RR are topological properties of its associated cell complex.
