Finite projective dimension under change of rings

Finite Flat and Projective Dimension

known as the left big finitistic projective dimension of A, is finite. Here pdM denotes the projective dimension of M . Unfortunately, this number is not known to be finite even if A is a finite dimensional algebra over a field, where, indeed, its finiteness is a celebrated conjecture. On the other hand, for such an algebra, finite flat certainly implies finite projective dimension, simply beca...

Self-orthogonal Modules of Finite Projective Dimension

Let R be a ring and R a self-orthogonal module. We introduce the notion of the right orthogonal dimension (relative to R ) of modules. We give a criterion for computing this relative right orthogonal dimension of modules. For a left coherent and semilocal ring R and a finitely presented self-orthogonal module R , we show that the projective dimension of R and the right orthogonal dimension (rel...

On Modules of Finite Projective Dimension

We address two aspects of finitely generated modules of finite projective dimension over local rings and their connection in between: embeddability and grade of order ideals of minimal generators of syzygies. We provide a solution of the embeddability problem and prove important reductions and special cases of the order ideal conjecture. In particular we derive that in any local ring R of mixed...

Modules of Finite Length and Finite Projective Dimension

Fitting Ideals and Finite Projective Dimension

Throughout we let (T,m, k) denote a commutative Noetherian local ring with maximal ideal m and residue field k. We let I ⊆ T be an ideal generated by a regular sequence of length c and set R := T/I. In the important paper [A], Avramov addresses the following question. Given a finitely generated R-module M , when does M have finite projective dimension over a ring of the form T/J , where J is ge...
