We examine some recent work of Phillip Griffith on étale covers and fibered products from the point of view of tight closure theory. While it is known that cyclic covers of Gorenstein rings with rational singularities are Cohen-Macaulay, we show this is not true in general in the absence of the Gorenstein hypothesis. Specifically, we show that the canonical cover of a Q-Gorenstein ring with rat...

We introduce the notion of relative singularity category with respect to any self-orthogonal subcategory ω of an abelian category. We introduce the Frobenius category of ω-Cohen-Macaulay objects, and under some reasonable conditions, we show that the stable category of ω-Cohen-Macaulay objects is triangle-equivalent to the relative singularity category. As applications, we relate the stable cat...

Let $R$ be the Ehrhart ring of stable set polytope a cycle graph which is not Gorenstein. We describe non-Gorenstein locus $\operatorname{Spec}R$. Further, we show that almost Moreover, conjecture Hibi and Tsuchiya true.

In this paper, we investigate the change of rings theorems for the Gorenstein dimensions over arbitrary rings. Namely, by the use of the notion of strongly Gorenstein modules, we extend the well-known first, second, and third change of rings theorems for the classical projective and injective dimensions to the Gorenstein projective and injective dimensions, respectively. Each of the results est...

We show that any quasi-Gorenstein deformation of a 3-dimensional Buchsbaum local ring with I-invariant 1 admits maximal Cohen-Macaulay module, provided it is quotient Gorenstein ring. Such class rings includes two instances unique factorization domains constructed by Marcel-Schenzel and Imtiaz-Schenzel, respectively. Apart from this result, motivated the small conjecture in prime characteristic...

Let I be an m-primary ideal in a Gorenstein local ring (A,m) with dimA = d, and assume that I contains a parameter ideal Q in A as a reduction. We say that I is a good ideal in A if G = ∑ n≥0 I n/In+1 is a Gorenstein ring with a(G) = 1−d. The associated graded ring G of I is a Gorenstein ring with a(G) = −d if and only if I = Q. Hence good ideals in our sense are good ones next to the parameter...

In terms of the duality property of injective preenvelopes and flat precovers, we get an equivalent characterization of left Noetherian rings. For a left and right Noetherian ring R, we prove that the flat dimension of the injective envelope of any (Gorenstein) flat left R-module is at most the flat dimension of the injective envelope of RR. Then we get that the injective envelope of RR is (Gor...

This paper applies G. Lyubeznik’s notion of F -finite modules to describe in a very down-to-earth manner certain annihilator submodules of some top local cohomology modules over Gorenstein rings. As a consequence we obtain an explicit description of the test ideal of Gorenstein rings in terms of ideals in a regular ring.

In this paper, we show the existence of copure injective preenvelopes over noetherian rings and copure flat preenvelopes over commutative artinian rings. We use this to characterize n-Gorenstein rings. As a consequence, if the full subcategory of strongly copure injective (respectively flat) modules over a left and right noetherian ring R has cokernels (respectively kernels), then R is 2-Gorens...

Let R be a local Noetherian commutative ring. We prove that is an Artinian Gorenstein ring if and only every ideal in trace ideal. discuss when the of module coincides with its double annihilator.
