We obtain, in a simple way, an estimate for the Noether exponent of an ideal I without embedded components (i.e. we estimate the smallest number μ such that ${\left(radI\right)}^{\mu }\subset I$).

Let $K$ be a field and $S=K[x_1,...,x_m,y_1,...,y_n]$ be the standard bigraded polynomial ring over $K$. In this paper, we explicitly describe the structure of finitely generated bigraded “sequentially Cohen-Macaulay” $S$-modules with respect to $Q=(y_1,...,y_n)$. Next, we give a characterization of sequentially Cohen-Macaulay modules with respect to $Q$ in terms of local cohomology modules. Cohen-Macaulay modules that are sequentially Cohen-Macaulay with respect to $Q$ are considered.

In this note we give a description of a morphism related to the structure of the canonical model of the Rees algebra R(I) of an ideal I in a local ring. As an application we obtain Ikeda's criteria for the Gorensteinness of R(I) and a result of Herzog-Simis-Vasconcelos characterizing when the canonical module of R(I) has the expected form.

We consider the representation theory for a class of log-canonical surface singularities in the sense of reflexive (or equivalently maximal Cohen-Macaulay) modules and in the sense of finite dimensional representations of the local fundamental group. A detailed classification and enumeration of the indecomposable reflexive modules is given, and we prove that any reflexive module admits an integrable connection and hence is induced from a finite dimensional representation of the local fundamental...

Let $R$ and $S$ be commutative rings with identity, $J$ be an ideal of $S$, $f:R\to S$ be a ring homomorphism, $M$ be an $R$-module, $N$ be an $S$-module, and let $\varphi :M\to N$ be an $R$-homomorphism. The amalgamation of $R$ with $S$ along $J$ with respect to $f$ denoted by $R{\bowtie }^{f}J$ was introduced by M. D’Anna et al. (2010). Recently, R. El Khalfaoui et al. (2021) introduced a special kind of $\left(R{\bowtie }^{f}J\right)$-module called the amalgamation of $M$ and $N$ along $J$ with respect to $\varphi$, and denoted by $M{\bowtie }^{\varphi }JN$. We study some homological properties of the $\left(R{\bowtie }^{f}J\right)$-module $M{\bowtie }^{\varphi }JN$. Among other results,...

We define nice partitions of the multicomplex associated with a Stanley ideal. As the main result we show that if the monomial ideal $I$ is a CM Stanley ideal, then $I^p$ is a Stanley ideal as well, where $I^p$ is the polarization of $I$.

Let X be a quotient surface singularity, and define $G^{def}(X,r)$ as the directed graph of maximal Cohen-Macaulay (MCM) modules with edges corresponding to deformation incidences. We conjecture that the number of connected components of $G^{def}(X,r)$ is equal to the order of the divisor class group of X, and when X is a rational double point (RDP), we observe that this follows from a result of A. Ishii. We view this as an enrichment of the McKay correspondence. For a general quotient singularity X, we prove the conjecture...

Let $A=K[x_1,\cdots ,x_m]$ be a polynomial ring in $m$ variables and let $\mathbf{d}=(d_0\<\cdots \<d_m)$ be a strictly increasing sequence of $m+1$ integers. Boij and Söderberg conjectured the existence of graded $A$-modules $M$ of finite length having pure free resolution of type $\mathbf{d}$ in the sense that for $i=0,\cdots ,m$ the $i$-th syzygy module of $M$ has generators only in degree $d_i$.This paper provides a construction, in characteristic zero, of modules with this property that are also $GL\left(m\right)$-equivariant. Moreover, the construction works over rings of the form $A{\otimes }_{K}B$ where $A$ is a polynomial...
