An element a of a ring R is called perfectly clean if there exists an idempotent e ? comm2(a) such that a?e ? U(R). A ring R is perfectly clean in case every element in R is perfectly clean. In this paper, we completely determine when every 2 ? 2 matrix and triangular matrix over local rings are perfectly clean. These give more explicit characterizations of strongly clean matrices over local rings. We also obtain several criteria for a triangular matrix to be perfectly J-clean. For instance, it is proved that for a commutative local ring R, every triangular matrix is perfectly J-clean in Tn(R) if and only if R is strongly J-clean.

We consider the question of how minimal acyclic complexes of finitely generated free modules arise over a commutative local ring. A standard construction gives that every totally reflexive module yields such a complex. We show that for certain rings this construction is essentially the only method of obtaining such complexes. We also give examples of rings which admit minimal acyclic complexes of finitely generated free modules which cannot be obtained by means of this construction.

In [1] we introduced the concept of a non-commutative local ring and studied the structure of such rings. Unfortunately, we were not able to show that the completion of a local ring was a semi-local ring. In this paper we propose to study a class of rings for which the above result is valid. This class of rings is the integral extensions -[4, 5]-of commutative local rings. This class of rings includes the important class of matrix rings over commutative local rings. In part 1 below we study some elementary properties of integral extensions and here we assume merely that the underlying ring is semi-local. In part 2 we discuss some questions of ideal theory for arbitrary local rings as well as for integral extensions. In a later paper we propose to utilize our results to study the deeper properties of these rings including a dimension theory for such rings. We are particularly indebted to the work of Nagata [6, 7, 8, 9] in the preparation of this paper.

A commutative ring R with identity is called a local ring if R has only one maximal ideal. This is equivalent to saying that the sum of two nonunits is a non-unit. Therefore the theory of all commutative local rings is axiomatizible by a finite set of A2-sentences. A commutative local ring with identity is said to be an algebraically closed local ring if every finite system of polynomial equations and inequations in one or more variables with coefficients in R which has a solution in some commutative local extension of R already has a solution in R. Much work connected with algebraically closed structures of classes of rings has been done, for example by Cherlin [2], Macintyre [4] and Lipschitz and Saracino [3]. We want to show similar results for commutative local rings with identity. Our main results are the following:Theorem. The theory of commutative local rings with identity has no model-companion.The finitely generic and infinitely generic local rings are algebraically closed local rings.Theorem. There is an A3 sentence which holds for all finitely generic local rings whose negation holds in every infinitely generic local ring.

A ring with involution ∗ is called ∗-clean if each of its elements is the sum of a unit and a projection (∗-invariant idempotent). In this paper, we consider the group algebras of the dihedral groups [Formula: see text], and the generalized quaternion groups [Formula: see text] with standard involution ∗. For the non-semisimple group algebra case, we characterize the ∗-cleanness of [Formula: see text] with a prime [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a commutative local ring. For the semisimple group algebra case, we investigate when [Formula: see text] is ∗-clean, where [Formula: see text] is the field of rational numbers [Formula: see text] or a finite field [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text].

The problem of classifying the normal subgroups of the general linear group over a field was solved in the general case by Dieudonné (see 2 and 3). If we consider the problem over a ring, it is trivial to see that there will be more normal subgroups than in the field case. Klingenberg (4) has investigated the situation over a local ring and has shown that they are classified by certain congruence groups which are determined by the ideals in the ring.Klingenberg's solution roughly goes as follows. To a given ideal , attach certain congruence groups and . Next, assign a certain ideal (called the order) to a given subgroup G. The main result states that if G is normal with order a, then ≧ G ≧ , that is, G satisfies the so-called ladder relation at ; conversely, if G satisfies the ladder relation at , then G is normal and has order .

AbstractLet R be a d-dimensional Cohen–Macaulay (CM) local ring of minimal multiplicity. Set S := R/(f), where f := f1,. . .,fc is an R-regular sequence. Suppose M and N are maximal CM S-modules. It is shown that if ExtSi(M, N) = 0 for some (d + c + 1) consecutive values of i ⩾ 2, then ExtSi(M, N) = 0 for all i ⩾ 1. Moreover, if this holds true, then either projdimR(M) or injdimR(N) is finite. In addition, a counterpart of this result for Tor-modules is provided. Furthermore, we give a number of necessary and sufficient conditions for a CM local ring of minimal multiplicity to be regular or Gorenstein. These conditions are based on vanishing of certain Exts or Tors involving homomorphic images of syzygy modules of the residue field.

Throughout, (R, m) will denote a d-dimensional CohenMacaulay (CM for short) local ring having an infinite residue field and I an m-primary ideal in R. Recall that an ideal J I is said to be a reduction of I if Ir+1 = JIr for some r 0, and a reduction J of I is called a minimal reduction of I if J is generated by a system of parameters. The concepts of reduction and minimal reduction were first introduced by Northcott and Rees12. If J is a reduction of I, define the reduction number of I with respect to J, denoted by rj(I), to be min {r 0 Ir+1 = JIr}. The reduction number of I is defined as r(I) = min {rj(I)J is a minimal reduction of I}. The reduction number r(I) is said to be independent if r(I) = rj(I) for every minimal reduction J of I.

Let [Formula: see text] be a Noetherian local ring with maximal ideal [Formula: see text] and residue field [Formula: see text]. The linearity defect of a finitely generated [Formula: see text]-module [Formula: see text], which is denoted [Formula: see text], is a numerical measure of how far [Formula: see text] is from having linear resolution. We study the linearity defect of the residue field. We give a positive answer to the question raised by Herzog and Iyengar of whether [Formula: see text] implies [Formula: see text], in the case when [Formula: see text].

Let R R be a complete local ring and let Q Q be a prime ideal of R R . It is determined precisely which conditions on R R are equivalent to the existence of a complete unramified regular local ring A A and an element g ∈ A − Q g\in A-Q such that R R is a finite A A -module and A g ⟶ R g A_g\longrightarrow R_g is étale . A number of other properties of the possible embeddings A ⟶ R A\longrightarrow R are developed in the process including the determination of precisely which fields can be coefficient fields in the Cohen-Gabber Theorem.

There are relatively few classes of local rings (R, m) for which the question of the rationality of the Poincaré serieswhere k = R/m, has been settled. (For an example of a local ring with non-rational Poincaré series see the recent paper by D. Anick, “Construction of loop spaces and local rings whose Poincaré—Betti series are nonrational”, C. R. Acad. Sc. Paris 290 (1980), 729-732.) In this note, we compute the Poincaré series of a certain family of local Cohen-Macaulay rings and obtain, as a corollary, the rationality of the Poincaré series of d-dimensional local Gorenstein rings (R, m) of embedding dimension at least e + d – 3, where e is the multiplicity of R. It follows that local Gorenstein rings of multiplicity at most five have rational Poincaré series.
