Graded cofinite rings of differential operators

Graded cofinite rings of differential operators

In this paper we study subalgebras A of the algebra D(X) of differential operators on a smooth variety X which are big in the following sense: using the order of a differential operator, the ring D(X) is equipped with a filtration. Its associated graded algebra D(X) is commutative and can be regarded as the set of regular functions on the cotangent bundle ofX . The subalgebra A inherits a filtr...

Differential operators on monomial rings

Rings of differential operators are notoriously difficult to compute. This paper computes the ring of differential operators on a Stanley-Reisner ring R. The D-module structure of R is determined. This yields a new proof that Nakai’s conjecture holds for Stanley-Reisner rings. An application to tight closure is described. @ 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Explicit Calculations in Rings of Differential Operators

— We use the notion of a standard basis to study algebras of linear differential operators and finite type modules over these algebras. We consider the polynomial and the holomorphic cases as well as the formal case. Our aim is to demonstrate how to calculate classical invariants of germs of coherent (left) modules over the sheaf D of linear differential operators over Cn. The main invariants w...

Finite generation of rings of differential operators of semigroup algebras

We prove that the ring of differential operators of any semigroup algebra is finitely generated. In contrast, we also show that the graded ring of the order filtration on the ring of differential operators of a semigroup algebra is finitely generated if and only if the semigroup is scored.  2004 Elsevier Inc.
