1.1 Projective spaces and spreads. A projective space is a geometry consisting of a set of points and a set of lines, where each line is a subset of the point set, such that the following axioms hold: • Any two points are on exactly one line. • Let A, B, C, D be four distinct points no three of which are collinear. If the lines AB and CD intersect each other, then the lines AD and BC also inter...

For an ideal I in a polynomial ring over a field, a monomial support of I is the set of monomials that appear as terms in a set of minimal generators of I. Craig Huneke asked whether the size of a monomial support is a bound for the projective dimension of the ideal. We construct an example to show that, if the number of variables and the degrees of the generators are unspecified, the projectiv...

manuscripta mathematica manuscript No. Abstract. The core of a projective dimension one module is computed explicitly in terms of Fitting ideals. In particular, our formula recovers previous work by R. Mohan on integrally closed torsionfree modules over a two-dimensional regular local ring.

The finitistic dimension conjecture says that the projective dimension of finitely generated modules over an Artin algebra is bounded when finite. The conjecture is known for algebras of representation dimension 3, for modules of Loevey length 2 and for stratifying systems with at most 2 indecomposable modules of infinite projective dimension (Huard, Lanzilotta, Mendoza [4]). We would like to i...

We prove versions of results of Foxby and Holm about modules of finite (Gorenstein) injective dimension and finite (Gorenstein) projective dimension with respect to a semidualizing module. We also verify two special cases of a question of Takahashi and White.

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...

In this brief note, we will investigate the number of points of bounded height in a projective variety defined over a function field, where the function field comes from a projective variety of dimension greater than or equal to 2. A first step in this investigation is to understand the p-adic analytic properties of the height zeta function. In particular, we will show that for a large class of...

Two conjectures relating the Kodaira dimension of a smooth projective variety and existence of number of nowhere vanishing 1-forms on the variety are proposed and verified in dimension 3. §

In this paper we prove that the dimension of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth quasi-projective curve is equal to one. We also discuss dimension spectrums of these categories. 2000 Math. Subj. Class. 18E30, 14F05.
