Abstract

We give a description of the minimal primes of the ideal generated by the 2 x 2 adjacent minors of a generic matrix. We also compute the complete prime decomposition of the ideal of adjacent m x m minors of an m x n generic matrix when the characteristic of the ground field is zero. A key intermediate result is the proof that the ideals which appear as minimal primes are, in fact, prime ideals. This introduces a large new class of mixed determinantal ideals that are prime.

Homology with the theme of Matlis

Matlis proved a lot of homological properties of the fraction field of an integral domain. In this paper, we simplify and extend some of them from 1-dimensional (resp. rank one) cases to the higher dimensional (resp. finite rank) cases. For example, we study the weakly co-torsion property of Ext$(-,\sim)$, and use it to present splitting criteria. These are equipped with several applications. For instance, we compute the projective dimension of $\widehat{R}$ and present some non-noetherian versions of Grothendieck's localization problem. We construct a new class of co-Hopfian modules and extend Matlis' decomposability problem to higher ranks. In particular, this paper deals with the basic properties of Matlis' quadric $(Q,Q/R, \widehat{R},\overset{\sim}R).$

Topics in higher ramification theory I: ramification ideals

We introduce and study the notion of ramification ideals in higher ramification theory. After general results on their computation for finite extensions, we discuss their connection with the possibly nontrivial defect of the extensions. We compute them for Artin-Schreier extensions and Kummer extensions of prime degree equal to the residue characteristic, which may or may not have nontrivial defect. We present an example that shows that nontrivial defect in an extension of degree $p^2$, $p$ a prime, may not imply the existence of a nonprincipal ramification ideal.

Descent along flat composed with radicalization

We study the following general situation. Let $R\to S$ be a finite flat morphism of regular rings of zero (resp. prime) mixed or (equi)-characteristic. For $P\in Spec R$, put $A=R/P, C=S/PS,$ and $B=S/\sqrt{PS}=C_{\mathrm{red}}.$ The basic question is whether a property of $B$ forces the same property of $A$. The main point is that ordinary finite-flat descent applies naturally to $A\to C$, whereas the passage $C\to C_{\mathrm{red}}$ may (not) destroy nilpotent information.
