Abstract

Let $Q$ be a Gorenstein local ring, let $I$ be a proper ideal of $Q$, and set $R=Q/I$. We investigate when finite injective dimension of the conormal module $I/I^2$ forces $I$ to be generated by a regular sequence. We prove this implication for every ideal in the linkage class of a complete intersection. When $Q$ is regular, we also establish it under several numerical conditions in terms of the number of generators of $I$ and the type of $R$. For normal domain quotients, we show that finite injective dimension of $I/I^2$ forces $(\mathrm{ht}(I)+1)[ω_R]=0$ in $\operatorname{Cl}(R)$, yielding the desired conclusion when the divisor class group is torsionfree. In the graded setting, we further prove the implication for all monomial ideals in polynomial rings. We also obtain a converse to Kunz's description of the first Koszul homology of an almost complete intersection.

Integral closure of 1-dimensional rings

We study certain properties of modules over 1-dimensional local integral domains. First, we examine the order of the conductor ideal and its expected relationship with multiplicity. Next, we investigate the reflexivity of certain colength-two ideals. Finally, we consider the freeness problem of the absolute integral closure of a DVR, and connect this to the reflexivity problem of $R^{\frac{1}{p^n}}$.

Perfect closure detects injective dimension

Let $R$ be a complete noetherian local ring of prime characteristic $p$, and let $R^\infty$ denote its perfect closure. We prove that a finitely generated \(R\)-module $N$ has finite injective dimension if and only if $\operatorname{Ext}_R^i(R^\infty, N) = 0$ for all $i > 0$. As a Gorenstein counterpart, we show that finiteness of the Gorenstein injective (or projective) dimension of $R^\infty$ forces $R$ to be Gorenstein, and we relate this to a non noetherian Cohen factorization of $R \to R^\infty$. Applications include preservation of Gorensteinness under weakly etale extensions, structural results on F-coherent and weakly F-nilpotent rings, along with the ascent of Frobenius closure of a parameter ideal to its powers. Assuming $\operatorname{Ext}^{i}_{R}(\frac{R}{\mathfrak m},R^{\infty})=0$ for some $i>\dim(R)$, we show $R$ is regular. This has some applications. We study the rationality problem of Hilbert--Kunz multiplicity by linking it to $R^\infty$. Recall that the global dimension can be viewed as a uniform bound on the injective dimension of modules. Finally, we determine $\operatorname{gldim}(R^\infty)$ by presenting a new bound.

On the existence of the maximal ideal in the set of associated primes of monomial ideals

In this paper, we investigate the behavior of associated primes of powers of monomial ideals, with particular emphasis on the presence of the maximal ideal and the phenomenon of fluctuation. We establish criteria for determining when the maximal ideal belongs to the set of associated primes of powers of monomial ideals in $K[x,y,z]$, and provide examples illustrating its appearance and disappearance among the associated primes of successive powers. Furthermore, we prove that for every $n\geq 3$, there exist infinitely many monomial ideals in $K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ whose powers exhibit fluctuations in their sets of associated primes. Finally, we construct infinitely many examples of nearly normally torsion-free (respectively, co-nearly normally torsion-free) monomial ideals that fail to satisfy the persistence (respectively, copersistence) property.
