Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring. We prove that  over a local ring $R$ every finitely generated $R$-module $M$ of finite Gorenstein projective dimension has a Gorenstein projective cover$varphi:C rightarrow M$ such that $C$ is finitely generated and the projective dimension of $Kervarphi$ is finite and $varphi$ is surjective.

Gorenstein homological dimensions are refinements of the classical homological dimensions, and finiteness singles out modules with amenable properties reflecting those of modules over Gorenstein rings. As opposed to their classical counterparts, these dimensions rarely come with practical and robust criteria for finiteness, even over commutative noetherian local rings. Indeed, over such a ring ...

An artin algebra A is said to be CM-finite if there are only finitely many, up to isomorphisms, indecomposable finitely generated Gorenstein-projective A-modules. We prove that for a Gorenstein artin algebra, it is CM-finite if and only if every its Gorenstein-projective module is a direct sum of finitely generated Gorenstein-projective modules. This is an analogue of Auslander’s theorem on alg...

We show that the Ehrhart h-vector of an integer Gorenstein polytope with a unimodular triangulation satisfies McMullen’s g-theorem; in particular it is unimodal. This result generalizes a recent theorem of Athanasiadis (conjectured by Stanley) for compressed polytopes. It is derived from a more general theorem on Gorenstein affine normal monoids M: one can factor K[M] (K a field) by a “long” re...

This work builds on [6] and [7] where Keisler measures over NIP theories are studied. We discuss two constructions for obtaining generically stable measures in this context. First, we show how to symmetrize an arbitrary invariant measure to obtain a generically stable one from it. Next, we show that suitable sigma-additive probability measures give rise to generically stable Keisler measures. A...

Let ∆ ⊂ H be the germ of a non-normal surface along a proper curve with smooth components such that the high index points of H are semilog-terminal and the Gorenstein singular points are semi-log-canonical. We describe the sheaf T 1 qG(H) of Q-Gorenstein deformations of H, we show that T 1 qG(H)/(torsion) is a line bundle L on ∆ and we calculate the degree of the restriction of L on every irred...
