In this paper we prove that a rational surface singularity with divisor class group ℤ/(2) is a rational double point. This generalizes a result by Brieskorn: if the divisor class group of a rational singularity is trivial then it is the E8 singularity [3]. We also prove several inequalities involving the integers e, δ, mi, [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the fundamental cycle. The proof of this result uses ideas from Minkowski's theory of reduction of positive-definite quadratic forms. We also give some interesting counterexamples to some of the related questions in this context.

AbstractWe give sufficient conditions for a Frobenius category to be equivalent to the category of Gorenstein projective modules over an Iwanaga–Gorenstein ring. We then apply this result to the Frobenius category of special Cohen–Macaulay modules over a rational surface singularity, where we show that the associated stable category is triangle equivalent to the singularity category of a certain discrepant partial resolution of the given rational singularity. In particular, this produces uncountably many Iwanaga–Gorenstein rings of finite Gorenstein projective type. We also apply our method to representation theory, obtaining Auslander–Solberg and Kong type results.

AbstractWe consider the factorization properties of block monoids on $\mathbb{Z}_n$ determined by subsets of the form $S_a=\{\bar{1},\bar{a}\}$. We denote such a block monoid by $\mathcal{B}_a(n)$. In §2, we provide a method based on the division algorithm for determining the irreducible elements of $\mathcal{B}_a(n)$. Section 3 offers a method to determine the elasticity of $\mathcal{B}_a(n)$ based solely on the cross number. Section 4 applies the results of §3 to investigate the complete set of elasticities of Krull monoids with divisor class group $\mathbb{Z}_n$.AMS 2000 Mathematics subject classification: Primary 20M14; 20D60; 13F05

Abstract It is shown that for any local strongly $F$-regular ring there exists natural number $e_0$ so that if $M$ is any finitely generated maximal Cohen–Macaulay module, then the pushforward of $M$ under the $e_0$th iterate of the Frobenius endomorphism contains a free summand. Consequently, the torsion subgroup of the divisor class group of a local strongly $F$-regular ring is finite.
