Local cohomology in classical rings.

José Luis Bueso Montero, Pascual Jara Martínez (1992)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Similarity:

The aim of this paper is to establish the close connection between prime ideals and torsion theories in a non necessarily commutative noetherian ring. We introduce a new definition of support of a module and characterize some kinds of torsion theories in terms of prime ideals. Using the machinery introduced before, we prove a version of the Mayer-Vietoris Theorem for local cohomology and establish a relationship between the classical dimension and the vanishing of the groups of local...

Reidemeister Torsion and Analytic Torsion of Discs

T. de Melo, L. Hartmann, M. Spreafico (2009)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

We study the Reidemeister torsion and the analytic torsion of the m-dimensional disc in the Euclidean m-dimensional space, using the base for the homology defined by Ray and Singer in [10]. We prove that the Reidemeister torsion coincides with the square root of the volume of the disc. We study the additional terms arising in the analytic torsion due to the boundary, using generalizations of the Cheeger-Müller theorem. We use a formula proved by Brüning and Ma [1], that predicts a new...
