Sections of zero dimensional ideals over a Noetherian ring

Let A be a commutative Noetherian ring and be an ideal containing a monic polynomial such that A[T]/I is zero dimensional. Suppose the conormal module I/I ² is generated by r elements over A[T]/I. Then a set of r generators of can be lifted to a r generating set of I. A part of this work is done at the Abdus Salam, International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, Italy.

Effective scalar products of D-finite symmetric functions

Many combinatorial generating functions can be expressed as combinations of symmetric functions, or extracted as sub-series and specializations from such combinations. Gessel has outlined a large class of symmetric functions for which the resulting generating functions are D-finite. We extend Gessel's work by providing algorithms that compute differential equations, these generating functions satisfy in the case they are given as a scalar product of symmetric functions in Gessel's class. Examples of applications to k-regular graphs and Young tableaux with repeated entries are given. Asymptotic estimates are a natural application of our method, which we illustrate on the same model of Young tableaux. We also derive a seemingly new formula for the Kronecker product of the sum of Schur functions with itself.     

Indecomposable modules over one-dimensional Noetherian rings

In this article we consider finitely generated torsion-free modules over certain one-dimensional commutative Noetherian rings R. We assume there exists a positive integer N_R such that, for every indecomposable R-module M and for every minimal prime ideal P of R, the dimension of M_P, as a vector space over the field R_P, is less than or equal to N_R. If a nonzero indecomposable R-module M is such that all the localizations M_P as vector spaces over the fields R_P have the same dimension r, for every minimal prime P of R, then r=1,2,3,4 or 6. Let n be an integer ≥8. We show that if M is an R-module such that the vector space dimensions of the M_P are between n and 2n−8, then M decomposes non-trivially. For each n≥8, we exhibit a semilocal ring and an indecomposable module for which the relevant dimensions range from n to 2n−7. These results require a mild equicharacteristic assumption; we also discuss bounds in the non-equicharacteristic case.     

Strongly irreducible ideals of a commutative ring

An ideal I of a ring R is said to be strongly irreducible if for ideals J and K of R, the inclusion J∩K⊆I implies that either J⊆I or K⊆I. The relationship among the families of irreducible ideals, strongly irreducible ideals, and prime ideals of a commutative ring R is considered, and a characterization is given of the Noetherian rings which contain a non-prime strongly irreducible ideal.     

On the Gorenstein injective dimension and Bass formula

In this paper, we compare Krull dimension, Gorenstein injective dimension and injective dimension of a module in several cases. In fact, we establish some generalizations of the Bass formula. To this end, we generalize the Grothendieck non-vanishing theorem to a class of modules larger than finitely generated modules. Received: 21 May 2007     

Depths and Cohen–Macaulay properties of path ideals

Given a tree T on n vertices, there is an associated ideal I   of R[_x1,…,_xn]$R[x_1,\dots ,x_n]$ generated by all paths of a fixed length ? of T  . We classify all trees for which R/I$R/I$ is Cohen–Macaulay, and we show that an ideal I whose generators correspond to any collection of subtrees of T satisfies the König property. Since the edge ideal of a simplicial tree has this form, this generalizes a result of Faridi. Moreover, every square-free monomial ideal can be represented (non-uniquely) as a subtree ideal of a graph, so this construction provides a new combinatorial tool for studying square-free monomial ideals.     

Polynomial cycles in finitely generated domains

LetR be a finitely generated domain of zero characteristics, and letN be a given integer. We show that the lengths of all cycles of polynomial mappingsR ^NR ^N defined overR are bounded by a number depending only onR andN.The work of the second author has been supported by the KBN-grant 2-1037-91-01.     

On toric face rings

Following a construction of Stanley we consider toric face rings associated to rational pointed fans. This class of rings is a common generalization of the concepts of Stanley-Reisner and affine monoid algebras. The main goal of this article is to unify parts of the theories of Stanley-Reisner and affine monoid algebras. We consider (non-pure) shellable fan’s and the Cohen-Macaulay property. Moreover, we study the local cohomology, the canonical module and the Gorenstein property of a toric face ring.     

Finite filtrations of modules and shellable multicomplexes

We introduce pretty clean modules, extending the notion of clean modules by Dress, and show that pretty clean modules are sequentially Cohen–Macaulay. We also extend a theorem of Dress on shellable simplicial complexes to multicomplexes.     

Primary decomposition II: Primary components and linear growth

We study the following properties about primary decomposition over a Noetherian ring R: (1) For finitely generated modules N⊆M and a given subset X={P₁,P₂,…,P_r}⊆Ass(M/N), we define an X-primary component of N?M to be an intersection Q₁∩Q₂∩?∩Q_r for some P_i-primary components Q_i of N⊆M and we study the maximal X-primary components of N⊆M; (2) We give a proof of the ‘linear growth’ property of Ext and Tor, which says that for finitely generated modules N and M, any fixed ideals I₁,I₂,…,I_t of R and any fixed integer i∈N, there exists a k∈N such that for any there exists a primary decomposition of 0 in (or 0 in ) such that every P-primary component Q of that primary decomposition contains (or ), where .     

On the divisorial spectrum of a Noetherian domain

For a Noetherian domain, the sets of divisorial primes, t-primes, and associated primes of principal ideals coincide. We study the divisorial primes of a Noetherian domain as a partially ordered set. In particular, we show that it is possible to have arbitrarily long chains and any finite amount of noncatenarity.     

Analogues of Jacobi's inversion formula for the incomplete elliptic integral of the first kind

In this article, we revisit Ramanujan's cubic analogue of Jacobi's inversion formula for the classical elliptic integral of the first kind. Our work is motivated by the recent work of Milne (Ramanujan J. 6(1) (2002) 7-149), Chan and Chua (Ramanujan J., to appear) on the representations of integers as sums of even squares.     

TW-domains and Strong Mori domains

In this paper we are mainly concerned with TW-domains, i.e., domains in which the w- and t-operations coincide. Precisely, we investigate possible connections with related well-known classes. We characterize the TW-property in terms of divisoriality for Mori domains and Noetherian domains. Specifically, we prove that a Mori domain R is a TW-domain if and only if R_M is a divisorial domain for each t-maximal ideal M of R. It turns out that a Mori domain which is a TW-domain is a Strong Mori domain. The last section examines the transfer of the “TW-domain” and “Strong Mori” properties to pullbacks, in order to provide some original examples.     

A WEAKER FORM OF BAER'S SPLITTING PROBLEM OVER VALUATION DOMAINS

Abstract

Eklof-Fuchs [3] have shown that over an arbitrary valuation domain R, the modules B which satisfy Ext 1/R (B,T) = 0 for all torsion R-modules T are precisely the free R-modules. Here we modify the problem and describe all R-modules B for which Ext 1/R (B, T) vanishes for all bounded and for all divisible torsion R-modules T. It is well known that if R is a descrete rank one valuation domain then all torsion—free R-modules B have this property.     

Attached primes and Matlis duals of local cohomology modules

Let J be an ideal of a noetherian local ring R. We show new results on the set of attached primes of a local cohomology module . To prove our results we establish and use new relations between the set of attached primes of a local cohomology module and the set of associated primes of the Matlis dual of the same local cohomology module.

Asymptotic behaviour of certain sets of associated prime ideals of Ext-modules

Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring, be an ideal of R and M be a finitely generated R-module. Melkersson and Schenzel asked whether the set becomes stable for a fixed integer i and sufficiently large j. This paper is concerned with this question. In fact, we prove that if s ≥ 0 and n ≥ 0 such that for all i with i < n, then is finite for all i with i < n, and is finite for all i with i ≤ n, where for a subset T of Spec(R), we set . Also, among other things, we show that if n ≥ 0, R is semi-local and is finite for all i with i < n, then is finite for all i with i ≤ n. K.

EQUI-MORPHIC FAMILIES IN CATEGORIES

Motivated by his previous work on proximally fine and on equi-p-fine uniform spaces, the author extends some results about equi-uniformly continuous families of functions to the general setting of equi-morphic families in a category.     

Self-dual modules over local rings of curve singularities

Let C be a reduced curve singularity. C is called of finite self-dual type if there exist only finitely many isomorphism classes of indecomposable, self-dual, torsion-free modules over the local ring of C. In this paper it is shown that the singularities of finite self-dual type are those which dominate a simple plane singularity.     

Symplectic Yang–Mills theory,Ricci tensor,and connections

A Yang–Mills theory in a purely symplectic framework is developed. The corresponding Euler–Lagrange equations are derived and first integrals are given. We relate the results to the work of Bourgeois and Cahen on preferred symplectic connections.
