The Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity reg(M) is one of the most important invariants of a finitely generated graded module M over a polynomial ring R. For instance, it measures the amount of computational resources that working with M requires. In general one knows that the regularity of a module can be doubly exponential in the degrees of the minimal generators and in the number of the variables. On the other hand, in many situations one has or one conjectures a much better behavior. One may ask,...

We extend Rouquier’s categorification of the braid groups by complexes of Soergel bimodules to the virtual braid groups.

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $𝒞$ a semidualizing $R$-module. We investigate the relations between $𝒞$-flat modules and $𝒞$-FP-injective modules and use these modules and their character modules to characterize some rings, including artinian, noetherian and coherent rings.

Let $(R,𝔪)$ be a commutative Noetherian regular local ring of dimension $d$ and $I$ be a proper ideal of $R$ such that ${\mathrm{mAss}}_R(R/I)={\mathrm{Assh}}_R\left(I\right)$. It is shown that the $R$-module $H_I^{\mathrm{ht}\left(I\right)}\left(R\right)$ is $I$-cofinite if and only if $\mathrm{cd}(I,R)=\mathrm{ht}\left(I\right)$. Also we present a sufficient condition under which this condition the $R$-module $H_I^i\left(R\right)$ is finitely generated if and only if it vanishes.

Let denote an ideal of a commutative Noetherian ring R, and M and N two finitely generated R-modules with pd M < ∞. It is shown that if either is principal, or R is complete local and is a prime ideal with dim R/ = 1, then the generalized local cohomology module $H_{}^i(M,N)$ is -cofinite for all i ≥ 0. This provides an affirmative answer to a question proposed in [13].

Let R be a Noetherian ring and I an ideal of R. Let M be an I-cofinite and N a finitely generated R-module. It is shown that the R-modules $To{r}_i^R(N,M)$ are I-cofinite for all i ≥ 0 whenever dim Supp(M) ≤ 1 or dim Supp(N) ≤ 2. This immediately implies that if I has dimension one (i.e., dim R/I = 1) then the R-modules $To{r}_i^R(N,H_I^j\left(M\right))$ are I-cofinite for all i,j ≥ 0. Also, we prove that if R is local, then the R-modules $To{r}_i^R(N,M)$ are I-weakly cofinite for all i ≥ 0 whenever dim Supp(M) ≤ 2 or dim Supp(N) ≤ 3. Finally, it is shown that...

We study when the modifications of the Cohen-Macaulay vertex cover ideal of a graph are Cohen-Macaulay.

Let denote an ideal in a Noetherian ring R, and M a finitely generated R-module. We introduce the concept of the cohomological dimension filtration $={M_i}_{i=0}^c$, where c = cd(,M) and $M_i$ denotes the largest submodule of M such that $cd(,M_i)\le i$. Some properties of this filtration are investigated. In particular, if (R,) is local and c = dim M, we are able to determine the annihilator of the top local cohomology module $H_{}^c\left(M\right)$, namely $An{n}_R\left(H_{}^c\left(M\right)\right)=An{n}_R(M/M_{c-1})$. As a consequence, there exists an ideal of R such that $An{n}_R\left(H_{}^c\left(M\right)\right)=An{n}_R(M/H{⁰}_{}\left(M\right))$. This generalizes the main results...
