The Module Structure of a Group Action on a Polynomial Ring: a Finiteness Theorem

چکیده
We consider a polynomial ring S in n variables over a finite field k of characteristic p and an action of a finite group G on S by homogeneous linear substitutions. This is equivalent to taking the symmetric powers of an n-dimensional kG-module. We want to understand S as a kG-module in a manner as explicit as possible. The ideal solution would be to give a decomposition into indecomposable summands. We are primarily interested in the modular case, when p divides the order of G, so the problem is much harder than that of determining the composition factors. The case of two variables was studied by Glover [13] and Alperin and Kovacs [2] and the case of three variables by the authors in [11]. This paper generalizes the results of [11] to any number of variables, and we prove a strong finiteness property as a consequence.

FINITENESS PROPERTIES OF LOCALE COHOMOLOGY MODULES FOR (I;J)- MINIMAX MODULES
ABSTRACT. Let R be a commutative noetherian ring, I and J are two ideals of R. Inthis paper we introduce the concept of (I;J)- minimax R- module, and it is shown thatif M is an (I;J)- minimax R- module and t a non-negative integer such that HiI;J(M) is(I;J)- minimax for all i

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring with non-zero identity and $fa$ an ideal of $R$. Let $M$ be a finite $R$--module of finite projective dimension and $N$ an arbitrary finite $R$--module. We characterize the membership of the generalized local cohomology modules $lc^{i}_{fa}(M,N)$ in certain Serre subcategories of the category of modules from upper bounds. We define and study the properti...
متن کاملFinite Gröbner Bases in Infinite Dimensional Polynomial Rings and Applications
We introduce the theory of monoidal Gröbner bases, a concept which generalizes the familiar notion in a polynomial ring and allows for a description of Gröbner bases of ideals that are stable under the action of a monoid. The main motivation for developing this theory is to prove finiteness results in commutative algebra and applications. A basic theorem of this type is that ideals in infinitel...
متن کاملSome Results on Baer's Theorem
Baer has shown that, for a group G, finiteness of G=Zi(G) implies finiteness of ɣi+1(G). In this paper we will show that the converse is true provided that G=Zi(G) is finitely generated. In particular, when G is a finite nilpotent group we show that |G=Zi(G)| divides |ɣi+1(G)|d′ i(G), where d′i(G) =(d( G /Zi(G)))i.

Let $alpha$ be an endomorphism and $delta$ an $alpha$-derivationof a ring $R$. In this paper we study the relationship between an$R$-module $M_R$ and the general polynomial module $M[x]$ over theskew polynomial ring $R[x;alpha,delta]$. We introduce the notionsof skew-Armendariz modules and skew quasi-Armendariz modules whichare generalizations of $alpha$-Armendariz modules and extend thecla...
