A Criterion for Dualizing Modules

On Matlis Dualizing Modules

We consider rings admitting a Matlis dualizing module E. We argue that if R admits two such dualizing modules, then a module is reflexive with respect to one if and only if it is reflexive with respect to the other. Using this fact we argue that the number (whether finite or infinite) of distinct dualizing modules equals the number of distinct invertible (R,R)-bimodules. We show by example that...

An Auslander-buchsbaum Identity for Semi- Dualizing Modules

A Criterion for Integral Dependence of Modules

Let R be a universally catenary locally equidimensional Noetherian ring. We give a multiplicity based criterion for an arbitrary finitely generated R-module to be integral over a submodule. Our proof is self-contained and implies the previously known numerical criteria for integral dependence of ideals and modules.

A Local Flatness Criterion for Complete Modules

We prove various extensions of the Local Flatness Criterion over a Noetherian local ring R with residue field k. For instance, if Ω is a complete R-module of finite projective dimension, then Ω is flat if and only if Torn (Ω, k) = 0 for all n = 1, . . . , depth(R). In low dimensions, we have the following criteria. If R is onedimensional and reduced, then Ω is flat if and only if Tor1 (Ω, k) = ...

Semi-dualizing Modules and Related Gorenstein Homological Dimensions

A semi-dualizing module over a commutative noetherian ringA is a finitely generated module C with RHomA(C,C) ≃ A in the derived category D(A). We show how each such module gives rise to three new homological dimensions which we call C–Gorenstein projective, C–Gorenstein injective, and C–Gorenstein flat dimension, and investigate the properties of these dimensions.
