Rings Over Which the Class of Gorenstein Flat Modules is Closed Under Extensions

A ring R is called left “GF-closed”, if the class of all Gorenstein flat left R-modules is closed under extensions. The class of left GF-closed rings includes strictly the one of right coherent rings and the one of rings of finite weak dimension.

In this article, we investigate the Gorenstein flat dimension over left GF-closed rings. Namely, we generalize the fact that the class of all Gorenstein flat left modules is projectively resolving over right coherent rings to left GF-closed rings. Also, we generalize the characterization of Gorenstein flat left modules (then of Gorenstein flat dimension of left modules) over right coherent rings to left GF-closed rings. Finally, using direct products of rings, we show how to construct a left GF-closed ring that is neither right coherent nor of finite weak dimension.     

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.     

Gorenstein Flat and Cotorsion Dimensions of Unbounded Complexes

In this article, we define and study the Gorenstein flat dimension and Gorenstein cotorsion dimension for unbounded complexes over GF-closed rings by constructions of resolutions of unbounded complexes. The behavior of the dimensions under change of rings is investigated.     

Decisive dimension and other related torsion theoretic dimensions

The paper is concerned with the study of the decisive dimension defined on the category of left modules over a ring R. We compare the decisive dimension with the Gabriel dimension and other dimensions recently introduced. We give module theoretic as well as lattice theoretic characterizations of rings with decisive dimension. As an application we obtain characterizations of some classes of rings.     

Gorenstein projective dimension for complexes

We define and study a notion of Gorenstein projective dimension for complexes of left modules over associative rings. For complexes of finite Gorenstein projective dimension we define and study a Tate cohomology theory. Tate cohomology groups have a natural transformation to classical Ext groups. In the case of module arguments, we show that these maps fit into a long exact sequence, where every third term is a relative cohomology group defined for left modules of finite Gorenstein projective dimension.

     

Coherent rings of finite weak global dimension

The category of left modules over right coherent rings of finite weak global dimension has several nice features. For example, every left module over such a ring has a flat cover (Belshoff, Enochs, Xu) and, if the weak global dimension is at most two, every left module has a flat envelope (Asensio, Martínez). We will exploit these features of this category to study its objects. In particular, we will consider orthogonal complements (relative to the extension functor) of several classes of modules in this category. In the case of a commutative ring we describe an idempotent radical on its category of modules which, when the weak global dimension does not exceed 2, can be used to analyze the structure of the flat envelopes and of the ring itself.

     

Integral Formula of Isotonic Functions over Unbounded Domain in Clifford Analysis

In this paper we mainly study the so-called isotonic Dirac system over more general types of unbounded domains in Euclidean space of even dimension. In such systems different Dirac operators in the half dimension act from the left and from the right on the functions considered. We obtain the integral representation of isotonic functions satisfying the decay condition over the unbounded domains, and show that the integral representation formula over the unbounded domains for holomorphic functions of several complex variables and for Hermitean monogenic functions may be derived from it.     

Cotorsion Dimension of Unbounded Complexes

We extend the cotorsion dimension of R-modules to unbounded R-complexes by applying the flat model structure on Ch(R) proposed by J. Gillespie. This is not natural because there has been no sufficiently general result available for the existence of proper “cotorsion” resolutions of unbounded complexes, for which one would be able to define the derived functors. The global cotorsion dimension of ring is discussed in our present framework, and the relations between it and other dimensions are investigated as well. Some rings are characterized and some known results are extended.     

Injective Envelopes and (Gorenstein) Flat Covers

We characterize left Noetherian rings in terms of the duality property of injective preenvelopes and flat precovers. For a left and right Noetherian ring R, we prove that the flat dimension of the injective envelope of any (Gorenstein) flat left R-module is at most the flat dimension of the injective envelope of _R R. Then we get that the injective envelope of _R R is (Gorenstein) flat if and only if the injective envelope of every Gorenstein flat left R-module is (Gorenstein) flat, if and only if the injective envelope of every flat left R-module is (Gorenstein) flat, if and only if the (Gorenstein) flat cover of every injective left R-module is injective, and if and only if the opposite version of one of these conditions is satisfied.     

ON SOME PROPERTIES OF IF RINGS

Abstract

We show that left IF rings (rings such that every injective left module is flat) have certain regular-like properties. For instance, we prove that every left IF reduced ring is strongly regular. We also give characterizations of (left and right) IF rings. In particular, we show that a ring R is IF if and only if every finitely generated left (and right) ideal is the annihilator of a finite subset of R.     

Gorenstein平坦模与Frobenius扩张

设R■A是环的Frobenius扩张,其中A是右凝聚环,M是任意左A-模.首先证明了_AM是Gorenstein平坦模当且仅当M作为左R-模也是Gorenstein平坦模.其次,证明了Nakayama和Tsuzuku关于平坦维数沿着Frobenius扩张的传递性定理的"Gorenstein版本":若_AM具有有限Gorenstein平坦维数,则Gfd_A(M)=Gfd_R(M).此外,证明了若R■S是可分Frobenius扩张,则任意A-模(不一定具有有限Gorenstein平坦维数),其Gorenstein平坦维数沿着该环扩张是不变的.     

Restricted homological dimensions over local homomorphisms and Cohen-Macaulayness

We define and study restricted projective, injective and flat dimensions over local homomorphisms. Some known results are generalized. As applications, we show that (almost) Cohen-Macaulay rings can be characterized by restricted homological dimensions over local homomorphisms.     

S-TORSION FREE COVERS OF MODULES

Over Pruüfer domains every module has a torsion free cover with a flat kernel. In this paper we show that the commutative Noetherian rings that have this property are the Gorenstein rings with Krull dimension at most one. Here we use the torsion theory defined by the nonzero-divisors of the commutative ring R.     

Simultaneous metric uniformization of foliations by Riemann surfaces

We consider a two-dimensional linear foliation on torus of arbitrary dimension. For any smooth family of complex structures on the leaves we prove existence of smooth family of uniformizing (conformal complete flat) metrics on the leaves. We extend this result to linear foliations on and families of complex structures with bounded derivatives C ³-close to the standard complex structure. We prove that the analogous statement for arbitrary C two-dimensional foliation on compact manifold is wrong in general, even for suspensions over in dimension 3 the uniformizing metric can be nondifferentiable at some points; in dimension 4 the uniformizing metric of each noncompact leaf can be unbounded.     

Gorenstein flatness and injectivity over Gorenstein rings

Let R be a Gorenstein ring.We prove that if I is an ideal of R such that R/I is a semi-simple ring,then the Gorenstein flat dimension of R/I as a right R-module and the Gorenstein injective dimension of R/I as a left R-module are identical.In addition,we prove that if R→S is a homomorphism of rings and SE is an injective cogenerator for the category of left S-modules,then the Gorenstein flat dimension of S as a right R-module and the Gorenstein injective dimension of E as a left R-module are identical.We also give some applications of these results.     

Gorenstein Injective and Gorenstein Flat Resolution of Modules Over Gorenstein Rings

Abstract

Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring. There are several characterizations of Gorenstein rings in terms of classical homological dimensions of their modules. In this paper, we use Gorenstein dimensions (Gorenstein injective and Gorenstein flat dimension) to describe Gorenstein rings. Moreover a characterization of Gorenstein injective (resp. Gorenstein flat) modules over Gorenstein rings is given in terms of their Gorenstein flat (resp. Gorenstein injective) resolutions.     

Generalizations of the Sweedler Dual

As left adjoint to the dual algebra functor, Sweedler’s finite dual construction is an important tool in the theory of Hopf algebras over a field. We show in this note that the left adjoint to the dual algebra functor, which exists over arbitrary rings, shares a number of properties with the finite dual. Nonetheless the requirement that it should map Hopf algebras to Hopf algebras needs the extra assumption that this left adjoint should map an algebra into its linear dual. We identify a condition guaranteeing that Sweedler’s construction works when generalized to noetherian commutative rings. We establish the following two apparently previously unnoticed dual adjunctions: For every commutative ring R the left adjoint of the dual algebra functor on the category of R-bialgebras has a right adjoint. This dual adjunction can be restricted to a dual adjunction on the category of Hopf R-algebras, provided that R is noetherian and absolutely flat.     

Coherent rings with finite self-FP-injective dimension

In this paper, we generalize the characterization of Gorenstein flat modules over Gorenstein rings to n ? FC rings (coherent rings with finite sdf?FP?injective dimension), and characterize n ? FC rings in terms of Gorenstein flat and projective modules.     

Gorenstein Flat Covers and Gorenstein Cotorsion Modules Over Integral Group Rings

Every module over an Iwanaga–Gorenstein ring has a Gorenstein flat cover [13] (however, only a few nontrivial examples are known). Integral group rings over polycyclic-by-finite groups are Iwanaga–Gorenstein [10] and so their modules have such covers. In particular, modules over integral group rings of finite groups have these covers. In this article we initiate a study of these covers over these group rings. To do so we study the so-called Gorenstein cotorsion modules, i.e. the modules that split under Gorenstein flat modules. When the ring is ℤ, these are just the usual cotorsion modules. Harrison [16] gave a complete characterization of torsion free cotorsion ℤ-modules. We show that with appropriate modifications Harrison's results carry over to integral group rings ℤG when G is finite. So we classify the Gorenstein cotorsion modules which are also Gorenstein flat over these ℤG. Using these results we classify modules that can be the kernels of Gorenstein flat covers of integral group rings of finite groups. In so doing we necessarily give examples of such covers. We use the tools we develop to associate an integer invariant n with every finite group G and prime p. We show 1≤n≤|G : P| where P is a Sylow p-subgroup of G and gives some indication of the significance of this invariant. We also use the results of the paper to describe the co-Galois groups associated to the Gorenstein flat cover of a ℤG-module. Presented by A.
