The central simple modules of Artinian Gorenstein algebras

Let A be a standard graded Artinian K-algebra, with char K=0. We prove the following.

1.

A has the Weak Lefschetz Property (resp. Strong Lefschetz Property) if and only if has the Weak Lefschetz Property (resp. Strong Lefschetz Property) for some linear form z of A.

2.

If A is Gorenstein, then A has the Strong Lefschetz Property if and only if there exists a linear form z of A such that all central simple modules of (A,z) have the Strong Lefschetz Property.

As an application of these theorems, we give some new classes of Artinian complete intersections with the Strong Lefschetz Property.     

Topological properties of localizations,flat overrings and sublocalizations

We study the set of localizations of an integral domain from a topological point of view, showing that it is always a spectral space and characterizing when it is a proconstructible subspace of the space of all overrings. We then study the same problems in the case of quotient rings, flat overrings and sublocalizations.     

Distribution of primes and dynamics of the w function

Let P be the set of all primes. The following result is proved: For any nonzero integer a, the set a+P contains arbitrarily long sequences which have the same largest prime factor. We give an application to the dynamics of the w function which extends the “seven” in Theorem 2.14 of [Wushi Goldring, Dynamics of the w function and primes, J. Number Theory 119 (2006) 86-98] to any positive integer. Beyond this we also establish a relation between a result of congruent covering systems and a question on the dynamics of the w function. This implies that the answer to Conjecture 2.16 of Goldring's paper is negative. Two conjectures are posed.     

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.

Cancellation of projective modules over polynomial extensions over a two-dimensional ring

Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring of dimension two with $1/2\in R$ and let $A=R[X_1,?,X_n]$. Let P be a projective A-module of rank 2. In this article, we prove that P is cancellative if ${\wedge }^2(P)\oplus A$ is cancellative.     

Extendability of quadratic modules over a polynomial extension of an equicharacteristic regular local ring

We prove that a quadratic A[T]$A[T]$-module Q   with Witt index (Q/TQ)?d$(Q/TQ)?d$, where d is the dimension of the equicharacteristic regular local ring A, is extended from A. This improves a theorem of the second named author who showed it when A is the local ring at a smooth point of an affine variety over an infinite field. To establish our result, we need to establish a local–global principle (of Quillen) for the Dickson–Siegel–Eichler–Roy (DSER) elementary orthogonal transformations.     

Bounds for indecomposable torsion-free modules

Let M be a finitely generated torsion-free module over a one-dimensional reduced Noetherian ring R with finitely generated normalization. The rank of M is the tuple of vector-space dimensions of M_P over each field R_P (R localized at P), where P ranges over the minimal prime ideals of R. We assume that there exists a bound N_R on the ranks of all indecomposable finitely generated torsion-free R-modules. For such rings, what bounds and ranks occur? Partial answers to this question have been given by a plethora of authors over the past forty years. In this article we provide a final answer by giving a concise list of the ranks of indecomposable modules for R a local ring with no condition on the characteristic. We conclude that if the rank of an indecomposable module M is (r,r,…,r), then r∈{1,2,3,4,6}, even when R is not local.     

Sequences generating permutations

Linear recurring sequences generating permutations of the elements of a finite ring are introduced and examined. A complete answer to the discussed problems is given for the second-order sequences over Z_M. The possibilities for applications are also discussed.     

Fragmented domains have infinite Krull dimension

Résumé  On dit qu'un anneau intègreR est fragmenté si pour tout élément non-inversibler deR, il existe un élément non-inversibles deR tel que r∈∩Rs ⁿ. On montre, pour un anneau intègreR qui n'est pas un corps, qu'il existe un idéal maximal deR qui contient une cha?ne strictement croissante d'idéaux premiers deR. Si, de plus,R n'ax qu'un nombre fini d'idéaux maximaux, alors on peut reformuler l'affirmation précédente pour tout idéal maximal deR. Il découle que toute anneau intègreR, qui n'est pas un corps et qui possède un idéal premierP tel queR+PR _p soit fragmenté, doit être de dimension infinie (au sens de Krull). On donne un exemple d'un tel anneauR qui n'est pas fragmenté.      

A dual Zariski topology for modules

We introduce a dual Zariski topology on the spectrum of fully coprime R-submodules of a given duo module M over an associative (not necessarily commutative) ring R. This topology is defined in a way dual to that of defining the Zariski topology on the prime spectrum of R. We investigate this topology and clarify the interplay between the properties of this space and the algebraic properties of the module under consideration.     

On questions related to saturated chains of primes in polynomial rings

We propose to give positive answers to the open questions: is R(X,Y) strong S when R(X) is strong S? is R stably strong S (resp., universally catenary) when R[X] is strong S (resp., catenary)? in case R is obtained by a (T,I,D) construction. The importance of these results is due to the fact that this type of ring is the principal source of counterexamples. Moreover, we give an answer to the open questions: is R〈X₁,…,X_n〉 residually Jaffard (resp., totally Jaffard) when R(X₁,…,X_n) is ? We construct a three-dimensional local ring R such that R(X₁,…,X_n) is totally Jaffard (and hence, residually Jaffard) whereas R〈X₁,…,X_n〉 is not residually Jaffard (and hence, not totally Jaffard).

Abstract

Let 𝒢 be a simple finite dimensional Lie algebra over the complex numbers and let 𝒢¯ = 𝒢₁ ⊕…⊕ 𝒢 _k be a regular semisimple subalgebra of 𝒢 with each 𝒢 _i being a simple algebra of type A or C. It is shown that the lattice of submodules of a generalized Verma 𝒢-module constructed by parabolic induction starting from a simple torsion free 𝒢¯-module is almost always isomorphic to the lattice of submodules of an associated module formed as a quotient of a classical Verma module by a sum of Verma submodules. In particular, it is shown that the Mathieu admissible Verma modules involved have maximal submodules which are the sum of Verma modules.     

Stability results for projective modules over Rees algebras

We provide a class of commutative Noetherian domains R of dimension d such that every finitely generated projective R-module P of rank d splits off a free summand of rank one. On this class, we also show that P is cancellative. At the end we give some applications to the number of generators of a module over the Rees algebras.
