We prove a Cohen-Macaulay version of result by Avramov-Golod and Frankild-J{\o}rgensen about Gorenstein rings, showing that if noetherian ring $A$ is Cohen-Macaulay, $a_1,\dots,a_n$ any sequence elements in $A$, then the Koszul complex $K(A;a_1,\dots,a_n)$ DG-ring. further generalize this result, it also holds for commutative DG-rings. In process proving this, we develop new technique to study ...

The aim of this paper is to investigate properties of the local cohomology of rings of mixed characteristic that are analogous to Segre products of rings de ned over a eld. The main question is whether the local cohomology can be almost killed in a nite extension (we de ne what this means below). There are two reasons for considering this type of ring. First, there are special properties of the...

In the winter of 1999 I gave a series of lectures at Queen’s university about some recent results concerning the Cohen-Macaulay property of invariants of Hopf algebras. Tony Geramita asked me to write up my notes for the Queen’s Papers, and I happily took up his suggestion. Although this article focuses on the proof of one main theorem (Theorem 2.11 on page 12), it has some of the character of ...
