On Serre dimension of monoid algebras and Segre extensions

Abstract

Let $R$ be a commutative noetherian ring of dimension $d$ and $M$ be a commutative$,$ cancellative$,$ torsion-free monoid of rank $r$. Then $S$-$dim(R[M]) \leq max\{1, dim(R[M])-1 \} = max\{1, d+r-1 \}$. Further$,$ we define a class of monoids $\{\mathfrak{M}_n\}_{n \geq 1}$ such that if $M \in \mathfrak{M}_n$ is seminormal$,$ then $S$-$dim(R[M]) \leq dim(R[M]) - n= d+r-n,$ where $1 \leq n \leq r$. As an application, we prove that for the Segre extension $S_{mn}(R)$ over $R,$ $S$-$dim(S_{mn}(R)) \leq dim(S_{mn}(R)) - \Big[\frac{m+n-1}{min\{m,n\}}\Big] = d+m+n-1 - \Big[\frac{m+n-1}{min\{m,n\}}\Big]$.
