We study the coinduction functor on the category of FI-modules and its variants. Using the coinduction functor, we give new and simpler proofs of (generalizations of) various results on homological properties of FI-modules. We also prove that any finitely generated projective VI-module over a field of characteristic 0 is injective.

A semi-dualizing module over a commutative noetherian ringA is a finitely generated module C with RHomA(C,C) ≃ A in the derived category D(A). We show how each such module gives rise to three new homological dimensions which we call C–Gorenstein projective, C–Gorenstein injective, and C–Gorenstein flat dimension, and investigate the properties of these dimensions.

The so-called ’change-of-ring’ results are well-known expressions which present several connections between projective, injective and flat dimensions over the various base rings. In this note we extend these results to the Gorenstein dimensions over Cohen-Macaulay local rings.

For the Auslander algebras E of self-injective Nakayama algebras, the Δ-filtrations of the submodules of indecomposable projective Emodules are determined, a class of Δ-filtered E-modules without selfextensions are constructed, and the Ringel dual of E is described.

Several characterizations are given of (Zelmanowitz) regular modules among the torsionless modules, the locally projective modules, the nonsingular modules, and modules where certain submodules are pure. Along the way, a version of the unimodular row lemma for torsionless modules is given, and it is shown that a regular ring is left self-injective if and only if every nonsingular left module is...

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 special cases of a question of Takahashi and White. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000). 13C05, 13D05, 13H10.

A (right R-) module N is said to be a Whitehead test module for projectivity (shortly: a p-test module) provided for each module M , ExtR(M,N) = 0 implies M is projective. Dually, i-test modules are defined. For example, Z is a p-test abelian group iff each Whitehead group is free. Our first main result says that if R is a right hereditary non-right perfect ring, then the existence of p-test mo...

Given a complex projective algebraic variety, write H•(X,C) for its cohomology with complex coefficients and IH •(X,C) for its Intersection cohomology. We first show that under some fairly general conditions the canonical map H•(X,C) → IH •(X,C) is injective. Now let Gr := G((z))/G[[z]] be the loop Grassmannian for a complex semisimple group G, and let X be the closure of a G[[z]]-orbit in Gr. ...

In 1966, Auslander introduced the notion of the G-dimension of a finitely generated module over a Cohen-Macaulay noetherian ring and found the basic properties of these dimensions. His results were valid over a local Cohen-Macaulay ring admitting a dualizing module (also see Auslander and Bridger (Mem. Amer. Math. Soc., vol. 94, 1969)). Enochs and Jenda attempted to dualize the notion of G-dime...
