A module is called uniseriat if it has a unique composition series of finite length. A ring (always with 1) is called serial if its right and left free modules are direct sums of uniserial modules. Nakayama, who called these rings generalized uniserial rings, proved [21, Theorem 171 that every finitely generated module over a serial ring is a direct sum of uniserial modules. In section one we g...

Rings of invariants can have nice homological properties even if they do not have finite global dimension. Watanabe’s Theorem [W] gives conditions when the fixed subring of a commutative ring under the action of a finite group is a Gorenstein ring. The Gorenstein condition was extended to noncommutative rings by a condition explored by Idun Reiten in the 1970s, called k-Gorenstein in [FGR]. Thi...
