We construct a complete local Gorenstein ring $R$ of dimension $1$ with a prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}\in \operatorname{Spec}(R)$ such that $R$ is an AB ring, but the localization $R_{\mathfrak{p}}$ is not an AB ring. This settles the localization problem for AB rings posed by Huneke and Jorgensen in the negative.
In this paper, we generalize the notion of connections, which was introduced by Alain Connes in noncommutative differential geometry, to the differential graded (DG) homological algebra setting. Then, along a DG algebra homomorphism $A \to B$, where $B$ is assumed to be projective as an underlying graded $A$-module, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a semifree DG $B$-module to be naïvely liftable to $A$ in terms of connections.
Let $k$ be a field. In this paper, we define the notion of semi-fiber products of commutative $k$-algebras and show that the class of such rings contains several classes of commutative rings, including that of the fiber products of local $k$-algebras over their common residue field $k$. For a noetherian local $k$-algebra $R$ and an ideal $I$ of $R$, under certain conditions, we characterize the liftability of $k$ along the natural surjection $R\twoheadrightarrow R/I$ in terms of retractions, sections, and the existence of semi-fiber product decompositions of $R$.
Let $(R,{\frak{m}}_R)$ be a commutative noetherian local ring. Assuming that ${\frak{m}}_R=$$I\oplus J$ is a direct sum decomposition, where $I$ and $J$ are non-zero ideals of $R$, we describe the structure of the Tor algebra of $R$ in terms of the Tor algebras of the rings $R/I$ and $R/J$.
In this paper, we investigate problems concerning when the residue field $k$ of a local ring $(R,\frak m$, $k)$ appears as a direct summand of syzygy modules, from two perspectives. First, we prove that the following conditions are equivalent: (i) $k$ is a direct summand of second syzygies of all non-free finitely generated $R$-modules; (ii) $k$ is a direct summand of third syzygies of all non-free finitely generated $R$-modules; (iii) $k$ is a direct summand of $\frak m$. We also prove various consequences of these conditions. The second point of this article is to investigate for what artinian local rings $R$ the dual $E^*=Hom_R(E_R(k),R)$ of the injective envelope of the residue field, which is also a second syzygy, is a $k$-vector space. Using the notion of Eliahou-Kervaire resolution, we introduce a large class of artinian local rings that satisfy this condition.
The notion of naive lifting of DG modules was introduced by the authors in [16,17] for the purpose of studying problems in homological commutative algebra that involve self-vanishing of Ext. Our goal in this paper is to deeply study the naive lifting property using the tensor algebra of the shift of the diagonal ideal (or, diagonal tensor algebra, as is phrased in the title of this paper). Our main result provides several characterizations of naive liftability of DG modules under certain Ext vanishing conditions. As an application, we affirmatively answer [19, Question 4.10] under the same assumptions.
The notion of local rings with quasi-decomposable maximal ideal was formally introduced by Nasseh and Takahashi. In separate works, the authors of the present paper show that such rings have rigid homological properties; for instance, they are both Ext- and Tor-friendly. One point of this paper is to further explore the homological properties of these rings and also introduce new classes of such rings from a combinatorial point of view. Another point is to investigate how far some of these homological properties can be pushed along certain diagrams of local ring homomorphisms.
The notion of naive liftability of DG modules is introduced in [9] and [10]. In this paper, we study the obstruction to naive liftability along extensions $A\to B$ of DG algebras, where $B$ is projective as an underlying graded $A$-module. We show that the obstruction to naive liftability of a semifree DG $B$-module $N$ is a certain cohomology class in Ext$^1_B(N,N\otimes_B J)$, where $J$ is the diagonal ideal. Our results on obstruction class enable us to give concrete examples of DG modules that do and do not satisfy the naive lifting property.
The goal of this paper is to construct a semifree resolution for a non-negatively graded strongly commutative DG algebra $B$ over the enveloping DG algebra $B\otimes_AB$, where $A\subseteq B$ is a DG subalgebra and $B$ is semifree over $A$. Our construction of such a semifree resolution uses the notions of reduced bar resolution and tensor algebra of the shift of the diagonal ideal.
Let n be a positive integer, and let A be a strongly commutative differential graded (DG) algebra over a commutative ring R. Assume that (a) B=A[X_1,...,X_n] is a polynomial extension of A, where X_1,...,X_n are variables of positive degrees; or (b) A is a divided power DG R-algebra and B=A is a free extension of A obtained by adjunction of variables X_1,...,X_n of positive degrees. In this paper, we study naive liftability of DG modules along the natural injection A-->B using the notions of diagonal ideals and homotopy limits. We prove that if N is a bounded below semifree DG B-module such that Ext_B^i(N, N)=0 for all i>0, then N is naively liftable to A. This implies that N is a direct summand of a DG B-module that is liftable to A. Also, the relation between naive liftability of DG modules and the Auslander-Reiten Conjecture has been described.
A major part of this paper is devoted to an in-depth study of j-operators and their properties. This study enables us to obtain several results on liftings and weak liftings of DG modules along simple extensions of DG algebras and unify the proofs of the existing results obtained by the authors on these subjects. Finally, we provide a new characterization of the (weak) lifting property of DG modules along simple extensions of DG algebras.
Differential graded (DG) algebras are powerful tools from rational homotopy theory. We survey some recent applications of these in the realm of homological commutative algebra.
We describe new classes of noetherian local rings $R$ whose finitely generated modules $M$ have the property that $Tor_i^R(M,M)=0$ for $i\gg 0$ implies that $M$ has finite projective dimension, or $Ext^i_R(M,M)=0$ for $i\gg 0$ implies that $M$ has finite projective dimension or finite injective dimension.
Let $(R,\frak m)$ be a commutative noetherian local ring. In this paper, we prove that if $\frak m$ is decomposable, then for any finitely generated $R$-module $M$ of infinite projective dimension $\frak m$ is a direct summand of (a direct sum of) syzygies of $M$. Applying this result to the case where $\frak m$ is quasi-decomposable, we obtain several classfications of subcategories, including a complete classification of the thick subcategories of the singularity category of $R$.
We construct a local Cohen-Macaulay ring $R$ with a prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}\in\spec(R)$ such that $R$ satisfies the uniform Auslander condition (UAC), but the localization $R_{\mathfrak{p}}$ does not satisfy Auslander's condition (AC). Given any positive integer $n$, we also construct a local Cohen-Macaulay ring $R$ with a prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}\in\spec(R)$ such that $R$ has exactly two non-isomorphic semidualizing modules, but the localization $R_{\mathfrak{p}}$ has $2^n$ non-isomorphic semidualizing modules. Each of these examples is constructed as a fiber product of two local rings over their common residue field. Additionally, we characterize the non-trivial Cohen-Macaulay fiber products of finite Cohen-Macaulay type.
We show that a non-trivial fiber product $S\times_k T$ of commutative noetherian local rings $S,T$ with a common residue field $k$ is Gorenstein if and only if it is a hypersurface of dimension 1. In this case, both $S$ and $T$ are regular rings of dimension 1. We also give some applications of this result.
The primary goal of this paper is to investigate the structure of irreducible monomorphisms to and irreducible epimorphisms from finitely generated free modules over a noetherian local ring. Then we show that over such a ring, self-vanishing of Ext and Tor for a finitely generated module admitting such an irreducible homomorphism forces the ring to be regular.
We apply geometric techniques from representation theory to the study of homologically finite differential graded (DG) modules $M$ over a finite dimensional, positively graded, commutative DG algebra $U$. In particular, in this setting we prove a version of a theorem of Voigt by exhibiting an isomorphism between the Yoneda Ext group $\operatorname{YExt}^1_U(M,M)$ and a quotient of tangent spaces coming from an algebraic group action on an algebraic variety. As an application, we answer a question of Vasconcelos from 1974 by showing that a local ring has only finitely many semidualizing complexes up to shift-isomorphism in the derived category $\mathcal{D}(R)$.
