Continuity of topological entropy for perturbation of time-one maps of hyperbolic flows

In this paper we derive necessary and sufficient homological and cohomological conditions for profinite groups and modules to be of type FP_n over a profinite ring R, analogous to the Bieri–Eckmann criteria for abstract groups. We use these to prove that the class of groups of type FP_n is closed under extensions, quotients by subgroups of type FP_n, proper amalgamated free products and proper HNN-extensions, for each n. We show, as a consequence of this, that elementary amenable profinite groups of finite rank are of type FP_∞ over all profinite R. For any class C of finite groups closed under subgroups, quotients and extensions, we also construct pro-C groups of type FP_n but not of type FP_n+1 over Z_? for each n. Finally, we show that the natural analogue of the usual condition measuring when pro-p groups are of type FP_n fails for general profinite groups, answering in the negative the profinite analogue of a question of Kropholler.     

Several Generalizations of the Wedderburn-Artin Theorem with Applications

We say that an R-module M is virtually semisimple if each submodule of M is isomorphic to a direct summand of M. A nonzero indecomposable virtually semisimple module is then called a virtually simple module. We carry out a study of virtually semisimple modules and modules which are direct sums of virtually simple modules . Our study provides several natural generalizations of the Wedderburn-Artin Theorem and an analogous to the classical Krull-Schmidt Theorem. Some applications of these theorems are indicated. For instance, it is shown that the following statements are equivalent for a ring R: (i) Every finitely generated left (right) R-module is virtually semisimple; (ii) Every finitely generated left (right) R-module is a direct sum of virtually simple R-modules; (iii) \(R\cong {\prod }_{i = 1}^{k} M_{n_{i}}(D_{i})\) where k,n ₁,…,n _k ∈ ? and each D _i is a principal ideal V-domain; and (iv) Every nonzero finitely generated left R-module can be written uniquely (up to isomorphism and order of the factors) in the form R m ₁ ⊕… ⊕ R m _k where each R m _i is either a simple R-module or a virtually simple direct summand of R.     

Homological invariants of modules over contracting endomorphisms

It is proved that when R is a local ring of positive characteristic, \({\phi\colon R{\to} R}\) is its Frobenius endomorphism, and some non-zero finite R-module has finite flat dimension or finite injective dimension for the R-module structure induced through \({\phi}\) , then R is regular. This broad generalization of Kunz’s characterization of regularity in positive characteristic is deduced from a theorem concerning a local ring R with residue field of k of arbitrary characteristic: If \({\phi}\) is a contracting endomorphism of R, then the Betti numbers and the Bass numbers over \({\phi}\) of any non-zero finitely generated R-module grow at the same rate, on an exponential scale, as the Betti numbers of k over R.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">UA</Emphasis>-properties of modules over commutative Noetherian rings

A semigroup (R, ·) is said to be a UA-ring if there exists a unique binary operation “+” transforming (R, ·, +) into a ring. An R-module A is said to be a UA-module if it is not possible to define a new addition in A without changing the action of R on A. In this paper we investigate topics that are related to the structure of UA-rings of endomorphisms and UA-modules over commutative Noetherian rings.     

Coherence relative to a weak torsion class

Let R be a ring. A subclass T of left R-modules is called a weak torsion class if it is closed under homomorphic images and extensions. Let T be a weak torsion class of left R-modules and n a positive integer. Then a left R-module M is called T-finitely generated if there exists a finitely generated submodule N such that M/N ∈ T; a left R-module A is called (T,n)-presented if there exists an exact sequence of left R-modules

$$0 \to {K_{n - 1}} \to {F_{n - 1}} \to \cdots \to {F_1} \to {F_0} \to M \to 0$$

such that F₀,..., F_n?1 are finitely generated free and K_n?1 is T-finitely generated; a left R-module M is called (T,n)-injective, if Ext ⁿ _R (A,M) = 0 for each (T, n+1)-presented left R-module A; a right R-module M is called (T,n)-flat, if Tor ^R _n (M,A) = 0 for each (T, n+1)-presented left R-module A. A ring R is called (T,n)-coherent, if every (T, n+1)-presented module is (n + 1)-presented. Some characterizations and properties of these modules and rings are given.

     

Finitistic dimension and restricted injective dimension

We study the relations between finitistic dimensions and restricted injective dimensions. Let R be a ring and T a left R-module with A = End _R T. If _R T is selforthogonal, then we show that rid(T _A ) ? findim(A _A ) ? findim( _R T) + rid(T _A ). Moreover, if R is a left noetherian ring and T is a finitely generated left R-module with finite injective dimension, then rid(T _A ) ? findim(A _A ) ? fin.inj.dim( _R R)+rid(T _A ). Also we show by an example that the restricted injective dimensions of a module may be strictly smaller than the Gorenstein injective dimension.     

Noetherian Rings whose Modules are Prime Serial

A theorem due to Nakayama and Skornyakov states that “a ring R is an Artinian serial ring if and only if all left R-modules are serial” and a theorem due to Warfield state that “a Noetherian ring R is serial if and only if every finitely generated left R-module is serial”. We say that an R-module M is prime uniserial (?-uniserial, for short) if for every pair P, Q of prime submodules of M either \(P\subseteq Q\) or \(Q\subseteq P\), and we say that M is prime serial (?-serial, for short) if it is a direct sum of ?-uniserial modules. Therefore, two interesting natural questions of this sort are: “Which rings have the property that every module is ?-serial?” and “Which rings have the property that every finitely generated module is ?-serial?” Most recently, in our paper, Prime uniserial modules and rings (submitted), we considered these questions in the context of commutative rings. The goal of this paper is to answer these questions in the case R is a Noetherian ring in which all idempotents are central or R is a left Artinian ring.     

Tensor products of tilting modules

We consider whether the tilting properties of a tilting A-module T and a tilting B-module T′ can convey to their tensor product T ? T′: The main result is that T ? T′ turns out to be an (n + m)-tilting A ? B-module, where T is an m-tilting A-module and T′ is an n-tilting B-module.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">V</Emphasis>-Gorenstein injective modules preenvelopes and related dimension

Let R and S be associative rings and _S V _R a semidualizing (S-R)-bimodule. An R-module N is said to be V-Gorenstein injective if there exists a Hom _R (I _V (R),?) and Hom _R (?,I _V (R)) exact exact complex \( \cdots \to {I_1}\xrightarrow{{{d_0}}}{I_0} \to {I^0}\xrightarrow{{{d_0}}}{I^1} \to \cdots \) of V-injective modules I _i and I ⁱ , i ∈ N₀, such that N ? Im(I ₀ → I ⁰). We will call N to be strongly V-Gorenstein injective in case that all modules and homomorphisms in the above exact complex are equal, respectively. It is proved that the class of V-Gorenstein injective modules are closed under extension, direct summand and is a subset of the Auslander class A _V (R) which leads to the fact that V-Gorenstein injective modules admit exact right I _V (R)-resolution. By using these facts, and thinking of the fact that the class of strongly V-Gorenstein injective modules is not closed under direct summand, it is proved that an R-module N is strongly V-Gorenstein injective if and only if N ⊕ E is strongly V-Gorenstein injective for some V-injective module E. Finally, it is proved that an R-module N of finite V-Gorenstein injective injective dimension admits V-Gorenstein injective preenvelope which leads to the fact that, for a natural integer n, Gorenstein V-injective injective dimension of N is bounded to n if and only if \(Ext_{{I_V}\left( R \right)}^{ \geqslant n + 1}\left( {I,N} \right) = 0\) for all modules I with finite I _V (R)-injective dimension.     

Torsion-free modules with UA-rings of endomorphisms

An associative ring R is called a unique addition ring (UA-ring) if its multiplicative semigroup (R, · ) can be equipped with a unique binary operation+ transforming the triple (R, ·, +) to a ring. An R-module A is said to be an End-UA-module if the endomorphism ring End _R (A) of A is a UA-ring. In the paper, the torsion-free End-UA-modules over commutative Dedekind domains are studied. In some classes of Abelian torsion-free groups, the Abelian groups having UA-endomorphism rings are found.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">τ</Emphasis>-Tilting Modules Over One-Point Extensions by a Projective Module

Let A be the one point extension of an algebra B by a projective B-module. We prove that the extension of a given support τ-tilting B-module is a support τ-tilting A-module; and, conversely, the restriction of a given support τ-tilting A-module is a support τ-tilting B-module. Moreover, we prove that there exists a full embedding of quivers between the corresponding poset of support τ-tilting modules.     

Injective Presentations of Induced Modules over Cluster-Tilted Algebras

Every cluster-tilted algebra B is the relation extension \(C\ltimes \textup {Ext}^{2}_{C}(DC,C)\) of a tilted algebra C. A B-module is called induced if it is of the form M? _C B for some C-module M. We study the relation between the injective presentations of a C-module and the injective presentations of the induced B-module. Our main result is an explicit construction of the modules and morphisms in an injective presentation of any induced B-module. In the case where the C-module, and hence the B-module, is projective, our construction yields an injective resolution. In particular, it gives a module theoretic proof of the well-known 1-Gorenstein property of cluster-tilted algebras.     

Cofiniteness and finiteness of local cohomology modules over regular local rings

Let (R,m) be a commutative Noetherian regular local ring of dimension d and I be a proper ideal of R such that mAss _R (R/I) = Assh _R (_I). It is shown that the R- module H^ht(I) _I (R) is I-cofinite if and only if cd(I,R) = ht(I). Also we present a sufficient condition under which this condition the R-module H ⁱ _I (R) is finitely generated if and only if it vanishes.     

Generalization of CS condition

Let R be an associative ring with identity. An R-module M is called an NCS module if C (M)∩S(M) = {0}, where C (M) and S(M) denote the set of all closed submodules and the set of all small submodules of M, respectively. It is clear that the NCS condition is a generalization of the well-known CS condition. Properties of the NCS conditions of modules and rings are explored in this article. In the end, it is proved that a ring R is right Σ-CS if and only if R is right perfect and right countably Σ-NCS. Recall that a ring R is called right Σ-CS if every direct sum of copies of R_R is a CS module. And a ring R is called right countably Σ-NCS if every direct sum of countable copies of R_R is an NCS module.     

Locally Unmixed Modules and Linearly Equivalent Ideal Topologies

Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring, and let N be a non-zero finitely generated R-module. The purpose of this paper is to show that N is locally unmixed if and only if, for any N-proper ideal I of R generated by ht _N I elements, the topology defined by (I N)⁽ⁿ⁾, n ≥ 0, is linearly equivalent to the I-adic topology.     

Generalized <Emphasis Type="Italic">SV</Emphasis>-modules

Given an arbitrary quasiprojective right R-module P, we prove that every module in the category σ(P) is weakly regular if and only if every module in σ(M/I(M)) is lifting, where M is a generating object in σ(P). In particular, we describe the rings over which every right module is weakly regular.     

Dual automorphism-invariant modules over perfect rings

Under study are the dual automorphism-invariant modules and pseudoprojective modules. Some conditions were found under which the dual automorphism-invariant module over a perfect ring is quasiprojective. We also show that if R is a right perfect ring then a pseudoprojective right R-module M is finitely generated if and only if M is a Hopf module.     

On soluble groups of module automorphisms of finite rank

Let R be a commutative ring, M an R-module and G a group of R-automorphisms of M, usually with some sort of rank restriction on G. We study the transfer of hypotheses between M/C _M (G) and [M,G] such as Noetherian or having finite composition length. In this we extend recent work of Dixon, Kurdachenko and Otal and of Kurdachenko, Subbotin and Chupordia. For example, suppose [M,G] is R-Noetherian. If G has finite rank, then M/C _M (G) also is R-Noetherian. Further, if [M,G] is R-Noetherian and if only certain abelian sections of G have finite rank, then G has finite rank and is soluble-by-finite. If M/C _M (G) is R-Noetherian and G has finite rank, then [M,G] need not be R-Noetherian.     

Higher Algebraic <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>-theory of Ring Epimorphisms

Given a homological ring epimorphism from a ring R to another ring S, we show that if the left R-module S has a finite-type resolution, then the algebraic K-group K _n (R) of R splits as the direct sum of the algebraic K-group K _n (S) of S and the algebraic K-group K _n (R) of a Waldhausen category R determined by the ring epimorphism. This result is then applied to endomorphism rings, matrix subrings, rings with idempotent ideals, and universal localizations which appear often in representation theory and algebraic topology.     

Extremal functions for modules of systems of measures

We extend a result by Rodin, which provides an explicit method for finding the extremal function and the 2-module of a foliated family of curves in R², to R ⁿ making use of Fuglede’s p-module of systems of measures. The extremal functions are identified and the p-module of systems of measures is computed in condensers of rather general type and in their images under homeomorphisms of certain regularity. At the beginning, we discuss and apply Rodin’s Theorem in order to obtain estimates for the conformal modules of parallelograms and ring domains in terms of directional dilatations.
