Quadratic forms over rings of dimension 1.
Using quantum sections of filtered rings and the associated Rees rings one can lift the scheme structure on Proj of the associated graded ring to the Proj of the Rees ring. The algebras of interest here are positively filtered rings having a non-commutative regular quadratic algebra for the associated graded ring; these are the so-called gauge algebras obtaining their name from special examples appearing in E. Witten's gauge theories. The paper surveys basic definitions and properties but concentrates...
Let Φ be a system of ideals on a commutative Noetherian ring R, and let S be a multiplicatively closed subset of R. The first result shows that the topologies defined by and are equivalent if and only if S is disjoint from the quintasymptotic primes of Φ. Also, by using the generalized Lichtenbaum-Hartshorne vanishing theorem we show that, if (R,) is a d-dimensional local quasi-unmixed ring, then , the dth local cohomology module of R with respect to Φ, vanishes if and only if there exists...
