We generalize the notion of length to an ordinal-valued invariant defined on the class of finitely generated modules over a Noetherian ring. A key property of this invariant is its semi-additivity on short exact sequences. As an…

We extend the classical length function to an ordinal-valued invariant on the class of all finite-dimensional Noetherian modules. We show how to calculate this combinatorial invariant by means of the fundamental cycle of the module, thus…

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…

Let $\lambda$ be a general length function for modules over a Noetherian ring R. We use $\lambda$ to introduce Hilbert series and polynomials for R[X]-modules, measuring the growth rate of~$\lambda$. We show that the leading term $\mu$ of…

We formulate a notion of "geometric reductivity" in an abstract categorical setting which we refer to as adequacy. The main theorem states that the adequacy condition implies that the ring of invariants is finitely generated. This result…

We study problems related to indecomposability of modules over certain local finite dimensional trivial extension algebras. We do this by purely combinatorial methods. We introduce the concepts of graph of cyclic modules, of combinatorial…

A differential module is a module equipped with a square-zero endomorphism. This structure underpins complexes of modules over rings, as well as differential graded modules over graded rings. We establish lower bounds on the class--a…

Let $\Lambda$ be an artinian ring. Generalizing the Loewy length, we propose the layer length associated with a torsion theory, which is a new measure for finitely generated $\Lambda$-modules.

Extremal length is a classical tool in 1-dimensional complex analysis for building conformal invariants. We propose a higher-dimensional generalization for complex manifolds and provide some ideas on how to estimate and calculate it. We…

We define a new invariant of finitely generated representations of a finite group, with coefficients in a commutative noetherian ring. This invariant uses group cohomology and takes values in the singularity category of the coefficient…

For any length category, we establish a set of rules (necessary and sufficient) that ensure a partial order on the isomorphism classes of simple objects such that the category is equivalent to the category of finite dimensional…

In this paper we study the behaviour of modules over finite dimensional algebras whose endomorphism algebra is a division ring. We show that there are finitely many such modules in the module category of an algebra if and only if the length…

In classical mathematics, Gulliksen has introduced the length of Noetherian modules, and Brookfield has determined the length of Noetherian polynomial rings. Brookfield's result can be regarded as a quantitative version of Hilbert's basis…

We count the number of submodules of an arbitrary module over a countable noetherian commutative ring. We give, along the way, a structural description of meager modules, which are defined as those that do not have the square of a simple…

B. A. Barnes introduced so-called Fredholm elements in a semiprime ring whose definition is inspired by Atkinson's theorem. Here the socle of a semiprime ring generalizes the ideal of finite-rank operators on a Banach space. In this paper,…

We study certain integer valued length functions on triangulated categories and establish a correspondence between such functions and cohomological functors taking values in the category of finite length modules over some ring. The…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module. We introduce a general form of the classically studied trace map that unifies several notions from the literature. We develop a theory around these…

Given a length function L on the R-modules of a unital ring R, for each sofic group $\Gamma$ we define a mean length for every locally L-finite $R\Gamma$-module relative to a bigger $R\Gamma$-module. We establish an addition formula for the…

Let $S^{\cdot}$ be a noetherian graded algebra over a commutative $k$-algebra $A$, where $k$ is a commutative ring, and assume it is a module over a Lie algebroid ${\mathfrak g}_{A/k}$. If $S^\cdot$ is semi-simple over ${\mathfrak g}_{A/k}$…

Our purpose in this work is multifold. First, we provide general criteria for the finiteness of the projective and injective dimensions of a finite module $M$ over a (commutative) Noetherian ring $R$. Second, in the other direction, we…
