On the Left Perpendicular Category of the Modules of Finite Projective Dimension

In this article, we characterize several properties of commutative noetherian local rings in terms of the left perpendicular category of the category of finitely generated modules of finite projective dimension. As an application, we prove that a local ring is regular if (and only if) there exists a strong test module for projectivity having finite projective dimension. We also obtain corresponding results with respect to a semidualizing module.     

Gorenstein Projective Precovers

We prove that the class of Gorenstein projective modules is special precovering over any left GF-closed ring such that every Gorenstein projective module is Gorenstein flat and every Gorenstein flat module has finite Gorenstein projective dimension. This class of rings includes (strictly) Gorenstein rings, commutative noetherian rings of finite Krull dimension, as well as right coherent and left n-perfect rings. In Sect. 4 we give examples of left GF-closed rings that have the desired properties (every Gorenstein projective module is Gorenstein flat and every Gorenstein flat has finite Gorenstein projective dimension) and that are not right coherent.     

On the number of generators of a projective module

In this article we give a bound on the number of generators of a finitely generated projective module of constant rank over a commutative Noetherian ring in terms of the rank of the module and the dimension of the ring. Under certain conditions we provide an improvement to the Forster–Swan bound in case of finitely generated projective modules of rank n over an affine algebra over a finite field or an algebraically closed field.     

Quasi-injective dimension

Following our previous work about quasi-projective dimension [11], in this paper, we introduce quasi-injective dimension as a generalization of injective dimension. We recover several well-known results about injective and Gorenstein-injective dimensions in the context of quasi-injective dimension such as the following. (a) If the quasi-injective dimension of a finitely generated module M over a local ring R is finite, then it is equal to the depth of R. (b) If there exists a finitely generated module of finite quasi-injective dimension and maximal Krull dimension, then R is Cohen-Macaulay. (c) If there exists a nonzero finitely generated module with finite projective dimension and finite quasi-injective dimension, then R is Gorenstein. (d) Over a Gorenstein local ring, the quasi-injective dimension of a finitely generated module is finite if and only if its quasi-projective dimension is finite.     

Boundary manifolds of projective hypersurfaces

We study the topology of the boundary manifold of a regular neighborhood of a complex projective hypersurface. We show that, under certain Hodge-theoretic conditions, the cohomology ring of the complement of the hypersurface functorially determines that of the boundary. When the hypersurface defines a hyperplane arrangement, the cohomology of the boundary is completely determined by the combinatorics of the underlying arrangement and the ambient dimension. We also study the LS category and topological complexity of the boundary manifold, as well as the resonance varieties of its cohomology ring.     

Generalized splines and graphic arrangements

We define a chain complex for generalized splines on graphs, analogous to that introduced by Billera and refined by Schenck–Stillman for splines on polyhedral complexes. The hyperhomology of this chain complex yields bounds on the projective dimension of the ring of generalized splines. We apply this construction to the module of derivations of a graphic multi-arrangement, yielding homological criteria for bounding its projective dimension and determining freeness. As an application, we show that a graphic arrangement admits a free constant multiplicity if and only if it splits as a product of braid arrangements.     

Intersection multiplicities over Gorenstein rings

Let R be a complete local ring of dimension d over a perfect field of prime characteristic p, and let M be an R-module of finite length and finite projective dimension. S. Dutta showed that the equality holds when the ring R is a complete intersection or a Gorenstein ring of dimension at most 3. We construct a module over a Gorenstein ring R of dimension five for which this equality fails to hold. This then provides an example of a nonzero Todd class , and of a bounded free complex whose local Chern character does not vanish on this class. Received: February 11, 1999     

Cohen–Macaulay Modules of Infinite Projective Dimension

A characterization of finitely generated torsion modules of not necessarily finite projective dimension over a Cohen–Macaulay ring, is given in terms of the non-Cohen–Macaulay loci and the Fitting invariants of a free resolution of such a module.

Characterization of eventually periodic modules in the singularity categories

The singularity category of a ring makes only the modules of finite projective dimension vanish among the modules, so that the singularity category is expected to characterize a homological property of modules of infinite projective dimension. In this paper, among such modules, we deal with eventually periodic modules over a left artin ring, and, as our main result, we characterize them in terms of morphisms in the singularity category. As applications, we first prove that, for the class of finite dimensional algebras over a field, being eventually periodic is preserved under singular equivalence of Morita type with level. Moreover, we determine which finite dimensional connected Nakayama algebras are eventually periodic when the ground field is algebraically closed.     

Homological properties of generic matrix rings

It is shown that the ring of two 2×2 generic matrices over a field has infinite global dimension. It is also proved that there is a non-free projective module over that ring. Finally, the authors show that the trace ring of that generic matrix ring is an iterated Ore extension from which it follows that the trace ring has global dimension five and that the finitely-generated projective modules are stably free.     

Weak Dimension of FP-injective Modules Over Chain Rings

It is proven that the weak dimension of each FP-injective module over a chain ring which is either Archimedean or not semicoherent is less or equal to 2. This implies that the projective dimension of any countably generated FP-injective module over an Archimedean chain ring is less or equal to 3.     

Left self distributively generated algebras

Abstract

For a Noetherian local ring, the prime ideals in the singular locus completely determine the category of finitely generated modules up to direct summands, extensions and syzygies. From this some simple homological criteria are derived for testing whether an arbitrary module has finite projective dimension.     

Cotorsion pairs generated by modules of bounded projective dimension

We apply the theory of cotorsion pairs to study closure properties of classes of modules with finite projective dimension with respect to direct limit operations and to filtrations. We also prove that if the ring is an order in an ℵ₀-noetherian ring Q of little finitistic dimension 0, then the cotorsion pair generated by the modules of projective dimension at most one is of finite type if and only if Q has big finitistic dimension 0. This applies, for example, to semiprime Goldie rings and to Cohen Macaulay noetherian commutative rings.     

Estimates of global dimension

In this note we show that for a *ⁿ-module, in particular, an almost n-tilting module, P over a ring R with A = End_R P such that P _A has finite flat dimension, the upper bound of the global dimension of A can be estimated by the global dimension of R and hence generalize the corresponding results in tilting theory and the ones in the theory of *-modules. As an application, we show that for a finitely generated projective module over a VN regular ring R, the global dimension of its endomorphism ring is not more than the global dimension of R.     

Self-Orthogonal Modules of Finite Projective Dimension

Let R be a ring and _R ω a self-orthogonal module. We introduce the notion of the right orthogonal dimension (relative to _R ω) of modules. We give a criterion for computing this relative right orthogonal dimension of modules. For a left coherent and semilocal ring R and a finitely presented self-orthogonal module _R ω, we show that the projective dimension of _R ω and the right orthogonal dimension (relative to _R ω) of R/J are identical, where J is the Jacobson radical of R. As a consequence, we get that _R ω has finite projective dimension if and only if every left (finitely presented) R-module has finite right orthogonal dimension (relative to _R ω). If ω is a tilting module, we then prove that a left R-module has finite right orthogonal dimension (relative to _R ω) if and only if it has a special ω^⊥-preenvelope.     

On the maximal number of coprime subdegrees in finite primitive permutation groups

We compute the divisor class group of the general hypersurface Y of a complex projective normal variety X of dimension at least four containing a fixed base locus Z. We deduce that completions of normal local complete intersection domains of finite type over C of dimension ≥ 4 are completions of UFDs of finite type over C.     

An extension of a theorem of Frobenius and Stickelberger to modules of projective dimension one over a factorial domain

Let R be a Cohen–Macaulay ring. A quasi-Gorenstein R-module is an R-module such that the grade of the module and the projective dimension of the module are equal and the canonical module of the module is isomorphic to the module itself. After discussing properties of finitely generated quasi-Gorenstein modules, it is shown that this definition allows for a characterization of diagonal matrices of maximal rank over a Cohen–Macaulay factorial domain R extending a theorem of Frobenius and Stickelberger to modules of projective dimension 1 over a commutative factorial Cohen–Macaulay domain.     

A Generalization of Auslander's Last Theorem

Before his death, Auslander announced that every finitely generated module over a local Gorenstein ring has a minimal Cohen–Macaulay approximation. Yoshimo extended Auslander's result to local Cohen–Macaulay rings admitting a dualizing module.Over a local Gorenstein ring the finitely generated maximal Cohen–Macaulay modules are the finitely generated Gorenstein projective modules so in fact Auslander's theorem says finitely generated modules over such rings have Gorenstein projective covers. We extend Auslander's theorem by proving that over a local Cohen–Macaulay ring admitting a dualizing module all finitely generated modules of finite G-dimension (in Auslander's sense) have a Gorenstein projective cover. Since all finitely generated modules over a Gorenstein ring have finite G-dimension, we recover Auslander's theorem when R is Gorenstein.
