A note on relative tilting modules

Bazzoni had given a simple characterization of infinitely generated n-tilting modules. Though her method is even inapplicable to classical n-tilting modules over Artin algebras, we show in this note that a similar characterization does hold for (finitely generated) relative n-tilting modules introduced by Auslander and Solberg for Artin algebras, by using a different method. We also present some applications.     

Elementary equivalence of categories of modules over rings, endomorphism rings, and automorphism groups of modules

In this paper we give a brief review of some recent results of elementary equivalence of linear and algebraic groups and our last new results of elementary equivalence of categories of modules, endomorphism rings of modules, lattices of submodules of modules, and automorphism groups of modules. __________ Translated from Fundamentalnaya i Prikladnaya Matematika (Fundamental and Applied Mathematics), Vol. 10, No. 2, pp. 51–134, 2004.

Cohen–Macaulay Isolated Singularities with a Dualizing Module

We generalize results of Foxby concerning a commutative Nötherian ring to a certain noncommutative Nötherian algebra Λ over a commutative Gorenstein complete local ring. We assume that Λ is a Cohen–Macaulay isolated singularity having a dualizing module. Then the same method as in the commutative cases works and we obtain a category equivalence between two subcategories of mod Λ, one of which includes all finitely generated modules of finite Gorenstein dimension. We give examples of such algebras which are not Gorenstien; orders related to almost Bass orders and some k-Gorenstein algebras for an integer k.Presented by I.

Foxby duality and Gorenstein injective and projective modules

In 1966, Auslander introduced the notion of the -dimension of a finitely generated module over a Cohen-Macaulay noetherian ring and found the basic properties of these dimensions. His results were valid over a local Cohen-Macaulay ring admitting a dualizing module (also see Auslander and Bridger (Mem. Amer. Math. Soc., vol. 94, 1969)). Enochs and Jenda attempted to dualize the notion of -dimensions. It seemed appropriate to call the modules with -dimension 0 Gorenstein projective, so the basic problem was to define Gorenstein injective modules. These were defined in Math. Z. 220 (1995), 611--633 and were shown to have properties predicted by Auslander's results. The way we define Gorenstein injective modules can be dualized, and so we can define Gorenstein projective modules (i.e. modules of -dimension 0) whether the modules are finitely generated or not. The investigation of these modules and also Gorenstein flat modules was continued by Enochs, Jenda, Xu and Torrecillas. However, to get good results it was necessary to take the base ring Gorenstein. H.-B. Foxby introduced a duality between two full subcategories in the category of modules over a local Cohen-Macaulay ring admitting a dualizing module. He proved that the finitely generated modules in one category are precisely those of finite -dimension. We extend this result to modules which are not necessarily finitely generated and also prove the dual result, i.e. we characterize the modules in the other class defined by Foxby. The basic result of this paper is that the two classes involved in Foxby's duality coincide with the classes of those modules having finite Gorenstein projective and those having finite Gorenstein injective dimensions. We note that this duality then allows us to extend many of our results to the original Auslander setting.

     

Weyl modules, Demazure modules, KR-modules, crystals, fusion products and limit constructions

We study finite-dimensional representations of current algebras, loop algebras and their quantized versions. For the current algebra of a simple Lie algebra of type ADE, we show that Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules and Weyl modules are in fact all Demazure modules. As a consequence one obtains an elementary proof of the dimension formula for Weyl modules for the current and the loop algebra. Further, we show that the crystals of the Weyl and the Demazure module are the same up to some additional label zero arrows for the Weyl module.For the current algebra Cg of an arbitrary simple Lie algebra, the fusion product of Demazure modules of the same level turns out to be again a Demazure module. As an application we construct the Cg-module structure of the Kac-Moody algebra -module V(?Λ₀) as a semi-infinite fusion product of finite-dimensional Cg-modules.     

On modules whose endomorphism ring is local

The paper is a study of modules with a local endomorphism ring. We consider decompositions of modules and give a simple proof of Azumaya’s theorem. We also define an equivalence relation on the family of direct summands of a module, and show that the properties of a decomposition are closely related to the properties of this equivalence relation.

On certain vertex algebras and their modules associated with vertex algebroids

We study the family of vertex algebras associated with vertex algebroids, constructed by Gorbounov, Malikov, and Schechtman. As the main result, we classify all the (graded) simple modules for such vertex algebras and we show that the equivalence classes of graded simple modules one-to-one correspond to the equivalence classes of simple modules for the Lie algebroids associated with the vertex algebroids. To achieve our goal, we construct and exploit a Lie algebra from a given vertex algebroid.     

Stable functors of derived equivalences and Gorenstein projective modules

From certain triangle functors, called nonnegative functors, between the bounded derived categories of abelian categories with enough projective objects, we introduce their stable functors which are certain additive functors between the stable categories of the abelian categories. The construction generalizes a previous work by Hu and Xi. We show that the stable functors of nonnegative functors have nice exactness property and are compatible with composition of functors. This allows us to compare conveniently the homological properties of objects linked by the stable functors. In particular, we prove that the stable functor of a derived equivalence between two arbitrary rings provides an explicit triangle equivalence between the stable categories of Gorenstein projective modules. This generalizes a result of Y. Kato. Our results can also be applied to provide shorter proofs of some known results on homological conjectures.     

von Neumann regular modules

In this paper, we introduce von Neumann regular modules and give many characterizations of von Neumann regular modules. Further, we investigate the relations between von Neumann regular modules and other classical modules. Finally, we characterize Noetherian von Neumann regular modules.     

Hopf modules and the double of a quasi-Hopf algebra

We give a different proof for a structure theorem of Hausser and Nill on Hopf modules over quasi-Hopf algebras. We extend the structure theorem to a classification of two-sided two-cosided Hopf modules by Yetter-Drinfeld modules, which can be defined in two rather different manners for the quasi-Hopf case. The category equivalence between Hopf modules and Yetter-Drinfeld modules leads to a new construction of the Drinfeld double of a quasi-Hopf algebra, as proposed by Majid and constructed by Hausser and Nill.

     

On functors between categories of modules over trusses

Categorical aspects of the theory of modules over trusses are studied. Tensor product of modules over trusses is defined and its existence established. In particular, it is shown that bimodules over trusses form a monoidal category. Truss versions of the Eilenberg-Watts theorem and Morita equivalence are formulated. Projective and small-projective modules over trusses are defined and their properties studied.     

Koszul duality for extension algebras of standard modules

We define and investigate a class of Koszul quasi-hereditary algebras for which there is a natural equivalence between the bounded derived category of graded modules and the bounded derived category of graded modules over (a proper version of) the extension algebra of standard modules. Examples of such algebras include, in particular, the multiplicity free blocks of the BGG category O, and some quasi-hereditary algebras with Cartan decomposition in the sense of König.     

On finitely injective modules and locally pure-injective modules over Prüfer domains

Over Matlis valuation domains there exist finitely injective modules which are not direct sums of injective modules, as well as complete locally pure-injective modules which are not the completion of a direct sum of pure-injective modules. Over Prüfer domains which are either almost maximal, or -local Matlis, finitely injective torsion modules and complete torsion-free locally pure-injective modules correspond to each other under the Matlis equivalence. Almost maximal Prüfer domains are characterized by the property that every torsion-free complete module is locally pure-injective. It is derived that semi-Dedekind domains are Dedekind.

     

Random strict convexity and random uniform convexity in random normed modules

Based on the analysis of stratification structure on random normed modules, we first present random strict convexity and random uniform convexity in random normed modules. Then, we establish their respective relations to classical strict and uniform convexity: in the process some known important results concerning strict convexity and uniform convexity of Lebesgue-Bochner function spaces can be obtained as a special case of our results. Further, we also give their important applications to the theory of random conjugate spaces as well as best approximation. Finally, we conclude this paper with some remarks showing that the study of geometry of random normed modules will also motivate the further study of geometry of probabilistic normed spaces.     

More results on congruent modules

W.R. Scott characterized the infinite abelian groups G for which H≅G for every subgroup H of G of the same cardinality as G [W.R. Scott, On infinite groups, Pacific J. Math. 5 (1955) 589-598]. In [G. Oman, On infinite modules M over a Dedekind domain for which N≅M for every submodule N of cardinality |M|, Rocky Mount. J. Math. 39 (1) (2009) 259-270], the author extends Scott’s result to infinite modules over a Dedekind domain, calling such modules congruent, and in a subsequent paper [G. Oman, On modules M for which N≅M for every submodule N of size |M|, J. Commutative Algebra (in press)] the author obtains results on congruent modules over more general classes of rings. In this paper, we continue our study.     

Stable equivalence and rings whose modules are a direct sum of finitely generated modules

The representation theory of a ring Δ has been studied by examining the category of contravariant (additive) functors from the category of finitely generated left Δ-modules to the category of abelian groups. Closely connected with the representation theory of a ring is the study of stable equivalence, which is a relaxing of the notion of Morita equivalence. Here we relate two stably equivalent rings via their respective functor categories and examine left artinian rings with the property that every left Δ-module is a direct sum of finitely generated modules.     

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.     

Harish-Chandra modules over generalized Heisenberg-Virasoro algebras

In this paper, we give a complete classification of irreducible Harish-Chandra modules for any generalized Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra. In particular, we present a simpler and more conceptual proof of the classification of irreducible Harish-Chandra modules over the classical Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra, which was first obtained by Rencai Lu and Kaiming Zhao in [LZ1]. Our methods are based on the ideas of polynomial modules from [B1, BB].
