The Étale locus in complete local rings

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.

Artinian local cohomology modules of cofinie modules

Let [Formula: see text] be a commutative Noetherian complete local ring and [Formula: see text] be a proper ideal of [Formula: see text]. Suppose that [Formula: see text] is a nonzero [Formula: see text]-cofinite [Formula: see text]-module of Krull dimension [Formula: see text]. In this paper, it shown that [Formula: see text] As an application of this result, it is shown that [Formula: see text], for each [Formula: see text] Also it shown that for each [Formula: see text] the submodule [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is [Formula: see text]-cofinite, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] whenever the category of all [Formula: see text]-cofinite [Formula: see text]-modules is an Abelian subcategory of the category of all [Formula: see text]-modules. Also some applications of these results will be included.

The first Brauer–Thrall conjecture over one-dimensional local rings

Let [Formula: see text] be a one-dimensional commutative Noetherian complete local ring. Assume that the cohomology annihilator [Formula: see text] is [Formula: see text]-primary. We use the notion of Gabriel–Roiter (co)measure in the category of maximal Cohen–Macaulay [Formula: see text]-modules and prove that, if there is an infinite set [Formula: see text] of indecomposable maximal Cohen–Macaulay [Formula: see text]-modules of bounded multiplicity, then there are indecomposable maximal Cohen–Macaulay modules of arbitrary large multiplicity which are cogenerated by modules in [Formula: see text]. This, in particular, guarantees the validity of the first Brauer–Thrall-type theorem for the category of maximal Cohen–Macaulay [Formula: see text]-modules.

On the de Rham homology and cohomology of a complete local ring in equicharacteristic zero

Let $A$ be a complete local ring with a coefficient field $k$ of characteristic zero, and let $Y$ be its spectrum. The de Rham homology and cohomology of $Y$ have been defined by R. Hartshorne using a choice of surjection $R\rightarrow A$ where $R$ is a complete regular local $k$-algebra: the resulting objects are independent of the chosen surjection. We prove that the Hodge–de Rham spectral sequences abutting to the de Rham homology and cohomology of $Y$, beginning with their $E_{2}$-terms, are independent of the chosen surjection (up to a degree shift in the homology case) and consist of finite-dimensional $k$-spaces. These $E_{2}$-terms therefore provide invariants of $A$ analogous to the Lyubeznik numbers. As part of our proofs we develop a theory of Matlis duality in relation to ${\mathcal{D}}$-modules that is of independent interest. Some of the highlights of this theory are that if $R$ is a complete regular local ring containing $k$ and ${\mathcal{D}}={\mathcal{D}}(R,k)$ is the ring of $k$-linear differential operators on $R$, then the Matlis dual $D(M)$ of any left ${\mathcal{D}}$-module $M$ can again be given a structure of left ${\mathcal{D}}$-module, and if $M$ is a holonomic ${\mathcal{D}}$-module, then the de Rham cohomology spaces of $D(M)$ are $k$-dual to those of $M$.

A Complex of Modules and Its Applications to Local Cohomology and Extension Functors

Let $(R,m)$ be a commutative Noetherian complete local ring and let $M$ be a non-zero Cohen-Macaulay $R$-module of dimension $n$. It is shown that, if $\operatorname{projdim}_R(M)<\infty$, then $\operatorname{injdim}_R(D(H^n_{\mathfrak{m}}(M)))<\infty$, and if $\operatorname{injdim}_R(M)<\infty$, then $\operatorname{projdim}_R(D(H^n_{\mathfrak{m}}(M)))<\infty$, where $D(-):= \operatorname{Hom}_{R}(-,E)$ denotes the Matlis dual functor and $E := E_R(R/\mathfrak{m})$ is the injective hull of the residue field $R/\mathfrak{m}$. Also, it is shown that if $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ is a Noetherian complete local ring, $M$ is a non-zero finitely generated $R$-module and $x_1,\ldots,x_k$, $(k\geq 1)$, is an $M$-regular sequence, then \[ D(H^k_{(x_1,\ldots,x_k)}(D(H^k_{(x_1,\ldots,x_k)}(M))))\simeq M. \] In particular, $\operatorname{Ann} H^k_{(x_1,\ldots,x_k)}(M)=\operatorname{Ann} M$. Moreover, it is shown that if $R$ is a Noetherian ring, $M$ is a finitely generated $R$-module and $x_1,\ldots,x_k$ is an $M$-regular sequence, then \[ \operatorname{Ext}^{k+1}_R(R/(x_1,\ldots,x_k),M)=0. \]

Cofiniteness of Local Cohomology Modules

Let M be a non-zero finitely generated module over a commutative Noetherian local ring (R, 𝔪). In this paper we consider when the local cohomology modules are finitely generated. It is shown that if t ≥ 0 is an integer and [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] is not 𝔭-cofinite. Then we obtain a partial answer to a question raised by Huneke. Namely, if R is a complete local ring, then [Formula: see text] is finitely generated if and only if 0 ≤ n ∉ W, where [Formula: see text]. Also, we show that if J ⊆ I are 1-dimensional ideals of R, then [Formula: see text] is J-cominimax, and [Formula: see text] is finitely generated (resp., minimax) if and only if [Formula: see text] is finitely generated for all [Formula: see text] (resp., [Formula: see text]). Moreover, the concept of the J-cofiniteness dimension [Formula: see text] of M relative to I is introduced, and we explore an interrelation between [Formula: see text] and the filter depth of M in I. Finally, we show that if R is complete and dim M/IM ≠ 0, then [Formula: see text].

EXISTENCE OF ALMOST SPLIT SEQUENCES VIA REGULAR SEQUENCES

Let $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ be a Cohen–Macaulay complete local ring. We will apply an inductive argument to show that for every nonprojective locally projective maximal Cohen–Macaulay object $ \mathcal{X} $ of the morphism category of $R$ with local endomorphism ring, there exists an almost split sequence ending in $ \mathcal{X} $. Regular sequences are exploited to reduce the Krull dimension of $R$ on which the inductive argument is established. Moreover, the Auslander–Reiten translate of certain objects is described.

Hilbert-Kunz Multiplicity of Three-Dimensional Local Rings

In this paper, we investigate the lower bound sHK(p, d) of Hilbert-Kunz multiplicities for non-regular unmixed local rings of Krull dimension d containing a field of characteristic p > 0. Especially, we focus on three-dimensional local rings. In fact, as a main result, we will prove that sHK (p, 3) = 4/3 and that a three-dimensional complete local ring of Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity 4/3 is isomorphic to the non-degenerate quadric hypersurface k[[X, Y, Z,W]]/(X2 + Y2 + Z2 + W2) under mild conditions.Furthermore, we pose a generalization of the main theorem to the case of dim A ≥ 4 as a conjecture, and show that it is also true in case dim A = 4 using the similar method as in the proof of the main theorem.

The natural topology of Matlis reflexive modules

For a complete local ring R with maximal ideal m, we define a linear topology on a Matlis reflexive R-module M which coincides with the m-adic topology on M in case M is finitely generated. We show that a Matlis reflexive module is complete in this topology.
