Level and Gorenstein Projective Dimension

We investigate the relationship between the level of a bounded complex over a commutative ring with respect to the class of Gorenstein projective modules and other invariants of the complex or ring, such as projective dimension, Gorenstein projective dimension, and Krull dimension. The results build upon work done by J. Christensen [6], H. Altmann et al. [1], and Avramov et al. [3] for levels with respect to the class of finitely generated projective modules.

Frobenius and Homological Dimensions of Complexes

It is proved that a module $M$ over a Noetherian local ring $R$ of prime characteristic and positive dimension has finite flat dimension if Tor$_i^R({}^e R, M)=0$ for dim $R$ consecutive positive values of $i$ and infinitely many $e$. Here ${}^e R$ denotes the ring $R$ viewed as an $R$-module via the $e$th iteration of the Frobenius endomorphism. In the case $R$ is Cohen-Macualay, it suffices that the Tor vanishing above holds for a single $e\geq \log_p e(R)$, where $e(R)$ is the multiplicity of the ring. This improves a result of D. Dailey, S. Iyengar, and the second author, as well as generalizing a theorem due to C. Miller from finitely generated modules to arbitrary modules. We also show that if $R$ is a complete intersection ring then the vanishing of Tor$_i^R({}^e R, M)$ for single positive values of $i$ and $e$ is sufficient to imply $M$ has finite flat dimension. This extends a result of L. Avramov and C. Miller.

Characterizing Gorenstein rings using contracting endomorphisms

We prove several characterizations of Gorenstein rings in terms of vanishings of derived functors of certain modules or complexes whose scalars are restricted via contracting endomorphisms. These results can be viewed as analogues of results of Kunz (in the case of the Frobenius) and Avramov-Hochster-Iyengar-Yao (in the case of general contracting endomorphisms).

Rigidity of Ext and Tor with coefficients in residue fields of a commutative noetherian ring

Let p be a prime ideal in a commutative noetherian ring R. It is proved that if an R-module M satisfies Tor^R_n(k(p),M) = 0 for some n \geq dim R_p, where k(p) is the residue field at p, then Tor^R_i(k(p),M) = 0 holds for all i \geq n. Similar rigidity results concerning Ext_R^*(k(p),M) are proved, and applications to the theory of homological dimensions are explored.

Detecting finite flat dimension of modules via iterates of the Frobenius endomorphism

It is proved that a module $M$ over a Noetherian ring $R$ of positive characteristic $p$ has finite flat dimension if there exists an integer $t\ge 0$ such that $\operatorname{Tor}_i^R(M, {}^{f^{e}}\!R)=0$ for $t\le i\le t+\dim R$ and infinitely many $e$. This extends a result of Herzog, who proved it when $M$ is finitely generated, and strengthens a result of the third author and Webb in the case $M$ is arbitrary. It is also proved that when $R$ is a Cohen-Macaulay local ring, it suffices that the Tor vanishing holds for one $e\ge \log_{p}e(R)$, where $e(R)$ is the multiplicity of $R$.

A change of rings result for Matlis reflexivity

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $E$ the minimal injective cogenerator of the category of $R$-modules. An $R$-module $M$ is (Matlis) reflexive if the natural evaluation map $M \to \operatorname{Hom}_R(\operatorname{Hom}_R(M,E),E)$ is an isomorphism. We prove that if $S$ is a multiplicatively closed subset of $R$ and $M$ is a reflexive $R$-module, then $M$ is a reflexive $R_S$-module. The converse holds when $S$ is the complement of the union of finitely many minimal primes of $R$, but fails in general.

The Acyclicity of the Frobenius Functor for Modules of Finite Flat Dimension

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring of prime characteristic $p$ and $f:R\to R$ the Frobenius ring homomorphism. For $e\ge 1$ let $R^{(e)}$ denote the ring $R$ viewed as an $R$-module via $f^e$. Results of Peskine, Szpiro, and Herzog state that for finitely generated modules $M$, $M$ has finite projective dimension if and only if $\operatorname{Tor}_i^R(R^{(e)},M)=0$ for all $i>0$ and all (equivalently, infinitely many) $e\ge 1$. We prove this statement holds for arbitrary modules using the theory of flat covers and minimal flat resolutions.

The Frobenius functor and injective modules

We investigate commutative Noetherian rings of prime characteristic such that the Frobenius functor applied to any injective module is again injective. We characterize the class of one-dimensional local rings with this property and show that it includes all one-dimensional F-pure rings.

The Auslander-Bridger formula and the Gorenstein property for coherent rings

The concept of Gorenstein dimension, defined by Auslander and Bridger for finitely generated modules over a Noetherian ring, is studied in the context of finitely presented modules over a coherent ring. A generalization of the Auslander-Bridger formula is established and is used as a cornerstone in the development of a theory of coherent Gorenstein rings.

Gorenstein rings and irreducible parameter ideals

Given a Noetherian local ring (R,m) it is shown that there exists an integer l such that R is Gorenstein if and only if some system of parameters contained in m^l generates an irreducible ideal. We obtain as a corollary that R is Gorenstein if and only if every power of the maximal ideal contains an irreducible parameter ideal.

Non-Noetherian Cohen-Macaulay rings

In this paper we investigate a property for commutative rings with identity which is possessed by every coherent regular ring and is equivalent to Cohen-Macaulay for Noetherian rings. We study the behavior of this property in the context of ring extensions (of various types) and rings of invariants.

Cofiniteness and associated primes of local cohomology modules

Let R be a regular local ring of dimension d, I an ideal of R, and M a finitely generated R-module of dimension n. We prove that the set of associated primes of Ext^i_R(R/I,H^j_I(M)) is finite for all i and j in the following cases: (1) dim M\le 3; (2) dim R\le 4; (3) dim M/IM \le 2 and M satisfies Serre's condition S_{n-3}; (4) dim M/IM\le 3, R is unramified, and M is faithful and satisfies S_{n-3}. We also prove that if dim R/I\ge 2 and the punctured spectrum of R/I is disconnected then H^{d-1}_I(R) is not I-cofinite. This generalizes a result due to Huneke and Koh.

Local cohomology modules with infinite dimensional socles

Let T be a commutative Noetherian local ring of dimension at least two and R=T[x_1,...,x_n] a polynomial ring in n variables over T. Consider R as a graded ring with deg T = 0 and deg x_i = 1 for all i. Let I=R_+ and f a homogeneous polynomial whose coefficients form a system of parameters for T. We show that the socle of H^n_I(R/fR) is infinite dimensional, generalizing an example due to Hartshorne.
