We show how to use the extension and torsion functors in order to compute the torsion submodule of a differential module associated with a multidimensional control system. In particular, we show that the concept of the weak primeness of matrices corresponds to the torsion-freeness of a certain module.

Let R be a subring of the rationals. We want to investigate self splitting R-modules G, that is, such that $Ex{t}_R(G,G)=0$. For simplicity we will call such modules splitters (see [10]). Also other names like stones are used (see a dictionary in Ringel’s paper [8]). Our investigation continues [5]. In [5] we answered an open problem by constructing a large class of splitters. Classical splitters are free modules and torsion-free, algebraically compact ones. In [5] we concentrated on splitters which are larger...

Let R be a unital commutative ring and A a unital R-algebra. We introduce the category of E(A,R)-modules which is a natural extension of the category of E-modules. The properties of E(A,R)-modules are studied; in particular we consider the subclass of E(R)-algebras. This subclass is of special interest since it coincides with the class of E-rings in the case R = ℤ. Assuming diamond ⋄, almost-free E(R)-algebras of cardinality κ are constructed for any regular non-weakly compact cardinal κ > ℵ...

Let R be a subring of the rational numbers ℚ. We recall from [3] that an R-module G is a splitter if $Ext{¹}_R(G,G)=0$. In this note we correct the statement of Main Theorem 1.5 in [3] and discuss the existence of non-free splitters of cardinality ℵ₁ under the negation of the special continuum hypothesis CH.

By analogy with the projective, injective and flat modules, in this paper we study some properties of $C$-Gorenstein projective, injective and flat modules and discuss some connections between $C$-Gorenstein injective and $C$-Gorenstein flat modules. We also investigate some connections between $C$-Gorenstein projective, injective and flat modules of change of rings.

We study the G-dimension over local ring homomorphisms with respect to a semi-dualizing complex. Some results that track the behavior of Gorenstein properties over local ring homomorphisms under composition and decomposition are given. As an application, we characterize a dualizing complex for $R$ in terms of the finiteness of the G-dimension over local ring homomorphisms with respect to a semi-dualizing complex.

Let $\Gamma$ be a ring extension of $R$. We show the left $\Gamma$-module $U=\Gamma {\otimes }_{R}C$ with the endmorphism ring End${}_{\Gamma }U=\Delta$ is a generalized tilting module when ${}_{R}C$ is a generalized tilting module under some conditions.

Let $(R,𝔪)$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring, $𝔞$ be an ideal of $R$ and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module such that $𝔞M\ne M$ and $\mathrm{cd}(𝔞,M)-\mathrm{grade}(𝔞,M)\le 1$, where $\mathrm{cd}(𝔞,M)$ is the cohomological dimension of $M$ with respect to $𝔞$ and $\mathrm{grade}(𝔞,M)$ is the $M$-grade of $𝔞$. Let $D(-):={\mathrm{Hom}}_R(-,E)$ be the Matlis dual functor, where $E:=E(R/𝔪)$ is the injective hull of the residue field $R/𝔪$. We show that there exists the following long exact sequence $$\begin{array}{cc}\hfill 0⟶& H_{𝔞}^{n-2}\left(D\left(H_{𝔞}^{n-1}\left(M\right)\right)\right)⟶H_{𝔞}^n\left(D\left(H_{𝔞}^n\left(M\right)\right)\right)⟶D\left(M\right)\\ \hfill ⟶& H_{𝔞}^{n-1}\left(D\left(H_{𝔞}^{n-1}\left(M\right)\right)\right)⟶H_{𝔞}^{n+1}\left(D\left(H_{𝔞}^n\left(M\right)\right)\right)\\ \hfill ⟶& H_{𝔞}^n\left(D\left(H_{(x_1,...,x_{n-1})}^{n-1}\left(M\right)\right)\right)⟶H_{𝔞}^n\left(D\left(H_{(}^{n-1}M\right)\right))⟶...,\end{array}$$ where $n:=\mathrm{cd}(𝔞,M)$ is a non-negative integer, $x_1,...,x_{n-1}$ is a regular sequence in $𝔞$ on $M$ and, for an $R$-module $L$, $H_{𝔞}^i\left(L\right)$ is the $i$th local cohomology module of $L$ with respect...

Let $(R,𝔪)$ be a complete local ring, $𝔞$ an ideal of $R$ and $N$ and $L$ two Matlis reflexive $R$-modules with $\mathrm{Supp}\left(L\right)\subseteq V\left(𝔞\right)$. We prove that if $M$ is a finitely generated $R$-module, then ${\mathrm{Ext}}_R^i(L,H_{𝔞}^j(M,N))$ is Matlis reflexive for all $i$ and $j$ in the following cases: (a) $\dim R/𝔞=1$; (b) $\mathrm{cd}\left(𝔞\right)=1$; where $\mathrm{cd}$ is the cohomological dimension of $𝔞$ in $R$; (c) $\dim R\le 2$. In these cases we also prove that the Bass numbers of $H_{𝔞}^j(M,N)$ are finite.

In this paper, we study the existence of the $n$-flat preenvelope and the $n$-FP-injective cover. We also characterize $n$-coherent rings in terms of the $n$-FP-injective and $n$-flat modules.

The dual of a Gorenstein module is called a co-Gorenstein module, defined by Lingguang Li. In this paper, we prove that if R is a local U-ring and M is an Artinian R-module, then M is a co-Gorenstein R-module if and only if the complex $Ho{m}_{R̂}((,R̂),M)$ is a minimal flat resolution for M when we choose a suitable triangular subset on R̂. Moreover we characterize the co-Gorenstein modules over a local U-ring and Cohen-Macaulay local U-ring.

Let $𝔞$ be an ideal of a commutative Noetherian ring $R$ and $t$ be a nonnegative integer. Let $M$ and $N$ be two finitely generated $R$-modules. In certain cases, we give some bounds under inclusion for the annihilators of ${\mathrm{Ext}}_R^t(M,N)$ and ${\mathrm{H}}_{𝔞}^t\left(M\right)$ in terms of minimal primary decomposition of the zero submodule of $M$, which are independent of the choice of minimal primary decomposition. Then, by using those bounds, we compute the annihilators of local cohomology and Ext modules in certain cases.

In this paper, we prove that any pure submodule of a strict Mittag-Leffler module is a locally split submodule. As applications, we discuss some relations between locally split monomorphisms and locally split epimorphisms and give a partial answer to the open problem whether Gorenstein projective modules are Ding projective.

We calculate the homology and the cycles in tensor products of algebras of symmetric function over ℤ2

This paper studies space curves $C$ of degree $d$ and arithmetic genus $g$, with homogeneous ideal $I$ and Rao module $M={\mathrm{H}}_{*}^1\left(\tilde{I}\right)$, whose main results deal with curves which satisfy ${}_0{\mathrm{Ext}}_R^2(M,M)=0$ (e.g. of diameter, $\mathrm{diam}M\le 2$). For such curves we find necessary and sufficient conditions for unobstructedness, and we compute the dimension of the Hilbert scheme, $\mathrm{H}(d,g)$, at $\left(C\right)$ under the sufficient conditions. In the diameter one case, the necessary and sufficient conditions coincide, and the unobstructedness of $C$ turns out to be equivalent to the...
