Notes on Divisible and Torsionfree Modules

In this article, we first study the existence of envelopes and covers by modules of finite divisible and torsionfree dimensions. Then we investigate divisible and torsionfree dimensions as well as localizations of divisible and torsionfree modules over commutative rings. Finally, Gorenstein divisible and torsionfree modules are introduced and studied.     

About q-approximations and q-hulls over a Noetherian ring,some refinements of the Auslander-Bridger theory

We revisit the notion of q-approximations for a module over a Noetherian ring, originally due to Auslander and Bridger without a name and rediscovered later by Evans and Griffith. We introduce a somewhat symmetric notion of q-hull and provide existence theorems for both q-approximations and q-hulls. The main feature here are existence theorems and characterizations of minimal such ones when the ring is local. The q-hulls being close to the morphism obtained by Auslander and Bridger in their “approximation theorem”, we also obtain for the latter a minimal statement in the case when the ring is local.     

Some Remarks on Syzygies of Adjoint Line Bundles

In this article, we construct examples of n-folds X carrying an ample line bundle A ∈ Pic X such that property N _p fails for K _X  + (n + 1 + p)A. This shows that the condition of Mukai's conjecture is optimal for every n ≥ 1 and p ≥ 0.     

Some Results on Gorenstein Dedekind Domains and Their Factor Rings

A domain is called a Gorenstein Dedekind domain (G-Dedekind for short) if every submodule of a projective module is G-projective (i.e., G-gldim(R) = 1). It is proved in this note that a domain R is a G-Dedekind domain if and only if every ideal of R is Gorenstein-projective (G-projective for short). We also show that nontrivial factor rings of Dedekind domains are QF-rings. We also give an example to show that factor rings of QF-rings are not necessarily QF-rings.     

正交类和相对Gorenstein模

在这篇论文中,我们研究了$\mathcal{A}$-Gorenstein投射模类和$\mathcal{A}$的左正交模类之间的关系,以及$\mathcal{A}$-Gorenstein内射模类和A的右正交模类之间的关系.我们得到了$\mathcal{A}$-Gorenstein投射模和$\mathcal{A}$-Gorenstein内射模的一些函子刻画.以完备对偶对为工具,我们讨论了$\mathcal{A}$-Gorenstein投射模和$\mathcal{B}$-Gorenstein平坦模之间的关系,并推广了一些已知结论.     

A canonical module characterization of Serre’s (R1)

In this short note, we give a characterization of domains satisfying Serre’s condition (R₁) in terms of their canonical modules. In the special case of toric rings, this generalizes a result of the second author [9 Yanagawa, K. (2015). Dualizing complexes of seminormal a?ne semigroup rings and toric face rings. J. Algebra 425:367–391.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] where the normality is described in terms of the “shape” of the canonical module.     

Chase’s lemma and its context

Chase’s lemma provides a powerful tool for translating properties of (co)products in abelian categories into chain conditions. This note discusses the context in which the lemma is used, making explicit what is often neglected in the literature because of its technical nature.     

Modified Rayleigh conjecture method and its applications

The Rayleigh conjecture about convergence up to the boundary of the series representing the scattered field in the exterior of an obstacle D$D$ is widely used by engineers in applications. However this conjecture is false for some obstacles. AGR introduced the Modified Rayleigh Conjecture (MRC), which is an exact mathematical result. In this paper we present the theoretical basis for the MRC method for 2D and 3D obstacle scattering problems, for static problems, and for scattering by periodic structures. We also present successful numerical algorithms based on the MRC for various scattering problems. The MRC method is easy to implement for both simple and complex geometries. It is shown to be a viable alternative for other obstacle scattering methods. Various direct and inverse scattering problems require finding global minima of functions of several variables. The Stability Index Method (SIM) combines stochastic and deterministic method to accomplish such a minimization.     

Remarks on Hard Lefschetz conjectures on Chow groups Dedicated in celebration of SCIENCE CHINA on the occasion of its 60th birthday

We propose two conjectures of Hard Lefschetz type on Chow groups and prove them for some special cases. For abelian varieties, we show that they are equivalent to the well-known conjectures of Beauville and Murre.     

Some Remarks on Multiplication and Projective Modules II

All rings are commutative with identity and all modules are unital. Let R be a ring and M an R-module. In our recent work [6 Ali , M. M. , Smith D. J. ( 2004 ). Some remarks on multiplication and projective modules . Communications in Algebra 32 : 3897 – 3909 .[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] we investigated faithful multiplication modules and the properties they have in common with projective modules. In this article, we continue our study and investigate faithful multiplication and locally cyclic projective modules and give several properties for them. If M is either faithful multiplication or locally cyclic projective then M is locally either zero or isomorphic to R. We show that, if M is a faithful multiplication module or a locally cyclic projective module, then for every submodule N of M there exists a unique ideal Γ(N) ? Tr(M) such that N = Γ(N)M. We use this result to show that the structure of submodules of a faithful multplication or locally cyclic projective module and their traces are closely related. We also use the trace of locally cyclic projective modules to study their endomorphisms.     

The inverse along a product and its applications

In this paper, we study the recently defined notion of the inverse along an element. An existence criterion for the inverse along a product is given in a ring. As applications, we present the equivalent conditions for the existence and expressions of the inverse along a matrix.

Zero divisors and units with small supports in group algebras of torsion-free groups

Kaplansky’s zero divisor conjecture (unit conjecture, respectively) states that for a torsion-free group G and a field 𝔽, the group ring 𝔽[G] has no zero divisors (has no units with supports of size greater than 1). In this paper, we study possible zero divisors and units in 𝔽[G] whose supports have size 3. For any field 𝔽 and all torsion-free groups G, we prove that if αβ = 0 for some non-zero α,β∈𝔽[G] such that |supp(α)| = 3, then |supp(β)|≥10. If 𝔽 = 𝔽₂ is the field with 2 elements, the latter result can be improved so that |supp(β)|≥20. This improves a result in Schweitzer [J. Group Theory, 16 (2013), no. 5, 667–693]. Concerning the unit conjecture, we prove that if αβ = 1 for some α,β∈𝔽[G] such that |supp(α)| = 3, then |supp(β)|≥9. The latter improves a part of a result in Dykema et al. [Exp. Math., 24 (2015), 326–338] to arbitrary fields.     

An Edgeworth expansion for functionals of Gaussian fields and its applications

This paper is concerned with the rate of convergence in the normal approximation of the sequence $\left\{F_n\right\}$, where each $F_n$ is a functional of an infinite-dimensional Gaussian field. We develop new and powerful techniques for computing the exact rate of convergence in distribution with respect to the Kolmogorov distance. As a tool for our works, the Edgeworth expansion of general orders, with an explicitly expressed remainder, will be obtained, and this remainder term will be controlled to find upper and lower bounds of the Kolmogorov distance in the case of an arbitrary sequence $\left\{F_n\right\}$. As applications, we provide the optimal fourth moment theorem of the sequence $\left\{F_n\right\}$ in the case when $\left\{F_n\right\}$ is a sequence of random variables living in a fixed Wiener chaos or a finite sum of Wiener chaoses. In the former case, our results show that the conditions given in this paper seem more natural and minimal than ones appeared in the previous works.
