A GENERALIZATION OF AUSLANDER–BUCHSBAUM AND BASS FORMULAS

Abstract

Given a contravariant functor F : 𝒞 → 𝒮ets for some category 𝒞, we say that F (𝒞) (or F) is generated by a pair (X, x) where X is an object of 𝒞 and x ∈ F(X) if for any object Y of 𝒞 and any y ∈ F(Y), there is a morphism f : Y → X such that F(f)(x) = y. Furthermore, when Y = X and y = x, any f : X → X such that F(f)(x) = x is an automorphism of X, we say that F is minimally generated by (X, x). This paper shows that if the ring R is left noetherian, then there exists a minimal generator for the functor ?xt (?, M) : ? → 𝒮ets, where M is a left R-module and ? is the class (considered as full subcategory of left R-modules) of injective left R-modules.     

Engel-Type Conditions Involving Two Generalized Skew Derivations in Prime Rings

Let ? be a prime ring of characteristic different from 2, 𝒬_r the right Martindale quotient ring of ?, 𝒞 the extended centroid of ?, F, G two generalized skew derivations of ?, and k ≥ 1 be a fixed integer. If [F(r), r]_kr ? r[G(r), r]_k = 0 for all r ∈ ?, then there exist a ∈ 𝒬_r and λ ∈ 𝒞 such that F(x) = xa and G(x) = (a + λ)x, for all x ∈ ?.     

The multiplier ideal is a universal test ideal

Abstract

For a canonical threefold X, we know that h ⁰(X, 𝒪 _X (nK _X )) ≥ 1 for a sufficiently large n. When χ(𝒪 _X ) > 0, it is not easy to get such an integer n. Fletcher showed that h ⁰(X, 𝒪 _X (12K _X )) ≥ 1 and h ⁰(X, 𝒪 _X (24K _X )) ≥ 2 when χ(𝒪 _X ) = 1. He inquired about existence of a canonical threefold with given conditions which shows the result sharp. We show that such an example does not exist. Using a different technique, we prove h ⁰(X, 𝒪 _X (12K _X )) ≥ 2.     

Endomorphism category of an abelian category

Let 𝒞 be an additive category. Denote by End(𝒞) the endomorphism category of 𝒞, i.e., the objects in End(𝒞) are pairs (C,c) with C∈𝒞,c∈End_𝒞(C), and a morphism f:(C,c)→(D,d) is a morphism f∈Hom_𝒞(C,D) satisfying fc?=?df. This paper is devoted to an approach of the general theory of the endomorphism category of an arbitrary additive category. It is proved that the endomorphism category of an abelian category is again abelian with an induced structure without nontrivial projective or injective objects. Furthermore, the endomorphism category of any nontrivial abelian category is nonsemisimple and of infinite representation type. As an application, we show that two unital rings are Morita equivalent if and only if the endomorphism categories of their module categories are equivalent.     

On Galois Comodules

Generalizing the notion of Galois corings, Galois comodules were introduced as comodules P over an A-coring 𝒞 for which P _A is finitely generated and projective and the evaluation map μ𝒞:Hom ^𝒞 (P, 𝒞) ?  _S P → 𝒞 is an isomorphism (of corings) where S = End ^𝒞 (P). It has been observed that for such comodules the functors ? ?  _A 𝒞 and Hom _A (P, ?) ?  _S P from the category of right A-modules to the category of right 𝒞-comodules are isomorphic. In this note we use this isomorphism related to a comodule P to define Galois comodules without requiring P _A to be finitely generated and projective. This generalises the old notion with this name but we show that essential properties and relationships are maintained. Galois comodules are close to being generators and have common properties with tilting (co)modules. Some of our results also apply to generalised Hopf Galois (coalgebra Galois) extensions.     

S-Noetherian Rings of the Forms 𝒜[X] and 𝒜[[X]]

Let 𝒜 = (A _n ) _n≥0 be an ascending chain of commutative rings with identity, S ? A ₀ a multiplicative set of A ₀, and let 𝒜[X] (respectively, 𝒜[[X]]) be the ring of polynomials (respectively, power series) with coefficient of degree i in A _i for each i ∈ ?. In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the rings 𝒜[X] and 𝒜[[X]] to be S ? Noetherian.     

Generalized Skew Derivations with Nilpotent Values in Prime Rings

Let ? be a prime ring, 𝒞 the extended centroid of ?, ? a Lie ideal of ?, F be a nonzero generalized skew derivation of ? with associated automorphism α, and n ≥ 1 be a fixed integer. If (F(xy) ? yx) ⁿ  = 0 for all x, y ∈ ?, then ? is commutative and one of the following statements holds:

(1) Either ? is central;

(2) Or ? ? M ₂(𝒞), the 2 × 2 matrix ring over 𝒞, with char(𝒞) = 2.     

Ample Vector Bundles with Small g − q

Let X be a smooth complex projective variety and let Z ? X be a smooth submanifold of dimension ≥ 2, which is the zero locus of a section of an ample vector bundle ? of rank dim X ? dim Z ≥ 2 on X. Let H be an ample line bundle on X, whose restriction H _Z to Z is generated by global sections. The structure of triplets (X,?,H) as above is described under the assumption that the curve genus of the corank-1 vector bundle ? ⊕ H ^{⊕ (dim Z?1)} is ≤ h ¹( _X ) + 2.     

Some Maximal Function Fields and Additive Polynomials

We derive explicit equations for the maximal function fields F over 𝔽 _{q ²ⁿ} given by F = 𝔽 _{q ²ⁿ} (X, Y) with the relation A(Y) = f(X), where A(Y) and f(X) are polynomials with coefficients in the finite field 𝔽 _{q ²ⁿ} , and where A(Y) is q-additive and deg(f) = q ⁿ  + 1. We prove in particular that such maximal function fields F are Galois subfields of the Hermitian function field H over 𝔽 _{q ²ⁿ} (i.e., the extension H/F is Galois).     

When the heart of a faithful torsion pair is a module category

An abelian category with arbitrary coproducts and a small projective generator is equivalent to a module category (Mitchell (1964) [17]). A tilting object in an abelian category is a natural generalization of a small projective generator. Moreover, any abelian category with a tilting object admits arbitrary coproducts (Colpi et al. (2007) [8]). It naturally arises the question when an abelian category with a tilting object is equivalent to a module category. By Colpi et al. (2007) [8], the problem simplifies in understanding when, given an associative ring R and a faithful torsion pair (X,Y) in the category of right R-modules, the heartH(X,Y)of the t-structure associated with (X,Y) is equivalent to a category of modules. In this paper, we give a complete answer to this question, proving necessary and sufficient conditions on (X,Y) for H(X,Y) to be equivalent to a module category. We analyze in detail the case when R is right artinian.     

Fiber Coefficients and Depth of Fiber Cones

Let (R, 𝔪) be a Cohen–Macaulay local ring of dimension d > 0, I an 𝔪-primary ideal of R, and K an ideal containing I. When r(I | K)<∞, we give a lower bound and an upper bound for f ₁(I). Under the above assumption on r(I | K) and depth G(I) ≥ d ? 1, we also provide a characterization, in terms of f ₁(I), of the condition depth F _K (I) ≥ d ? 1.     

Cluster-Tilted Algebras of Type D n

Let H be a hereditary algebra of Dynkin type D _n over a field k and 𝒞 _H be the cluster category of H. Assume that n ≥ 5 and that T and T′ are tilting objects in 𝒞 _H . We prove that the cluster-tilted algebra Γ = End_{𝒞 H} (T)^op is isomorphic to Γ′ = End_{𝒞 H} (T′)^op if and only if T = τ ⁱ T′ or T = στ ^j T′ for some integers i and j, where τ is the Auslander–Reiten translation and σ is the automorphism of 𝒞 _H defined in Section 4.     

Rings Over which the Krull Dimension and the Noetherian Dimension of All Modules Coincide

We denote by 𝒜(R) the class of all Artinian R-modules and by 𝒩(R) the class of all Noetherian R-modules. It is shown that 𝒜(R) ? 𝒩(R) (𝒩(R) ? 𝒜(R)) if and only if 𝒜(R/P) ? 𝒩(R/P) (𝒩(R/P) ? 𝒜(R/P)), for all centrally prime ideals P (i.e., ab ∈ P, a or b in the center of R, then a ∈ P or b ∈ P). Equivalently, if and only if 𝒜(R/P) ? 𝒩(R/P) (𝒩(R/P) ? 𝒜(R/P)) for all normal prime ideals P of R (i.e., ab ∈ P, a, b normalize R, then a ∈ P or b ∈ P). We observe that finitely embedded modules and Artinian modules coincide over Noetherian duo rings. Consequently, 𝒜(R) ? 𝒩(R) implies that 𝒩(R) = 𝒜(R), where R is a duo ring. For a ring R, we prove that 𝒩(R) = 𝒜(R) if and only if the coincidence in the title occurs. Finally, if Q is the quotient field of a discrete valuation domain R, it is shown that Q is the only R-module which is both α-atomic and β-critical for some ordinals α,β ≥ 1 and in fact α = β = 1.     

Reducibility of Punctual Hilbert Schemes of Cone Varieties

In this short note we show that for any pair of positive integers (d, n) with n > 2 and d > 1 or n = 2 and d > 4, there always exist projective varieties X ? ? ^N of dimension n and degree d and an integer s ₀ such that Hilb ^s (X) is reducible for all s ≥ s ₀. X will be a projective cone in ? ^N over an arbitrary projective variety Y ? ? ^N?1. In particular, we show that, opposite to the case of smooth surfaces, there exist projective surfaces with a single isolated singularity which have reducible Hilbert scheme of points.     

A Lower Bound on the Second Fiber Coefficient of the Fiber Cones

Let (R, 𝔪) be a Cohen–Macaulay local ring of dimension d > 0, I an 𝔪-primary ideal of R and K an ideal containing I. When depth G(I) ≥ d ? 1 and r(I | K) < ∞, we present a lower bound on the second fiber coefficient of the fiber cones, and also provide a characterization, in terms of f ₂(I, K), of the condition depth F _K (I) ≥ d ? 1.     

When is the Diagonal Functor Frobenius?

Given a complete, cocomplete category 𝒞, we investigate the problem of describing those small categories I such that the diagonal functor Δ: 𝒞 → Functors(I, 𝒞) is a Frobenius functor. This condition can be rephrased by saying that the limits and the colimits of functors I → 𝒞 are naturally isomorphic. We find necessary conditions on I for a certain class of categories 𝒞, and, as an application, we give both necessary and sufficient conditions in the two special cases 𝒞 =Set or _R ?, the category of left modules over a ring R.
