AbstractWe address two aspects of finitely generated modules of finite projective dimension over local rings and their connection in between: embeddability and grade of order ideals of minimal generators of syzygies. We provide a solution of the embeddability problem and prove important reductions and special cases of the order ideal conjecture. In particular, we derive that, in any local ring R of mixed characteristic p > 0, where p is a nonzero divisor, if I is an ideal of finite projective dimension over R and p 𝜖 I or p is a nonzero divisor on R/I, then every minimal generator of I is a nonzero divisor. Hence, if P is a prime ideal of finite projective dimension in a local ring R, then every minimal generator of P is a nonzero divisor in R.

In [2, Section 1.6] Peskine and Szpiro prove a theorem on adic approximations of finite free resolutions over local rings which, together with M. Artin’s Approximation Theorem [1], allows them to “descend” modules of finite projective dimension over the completions of certain local rings to modules of finite projective dimension over finite étale extensions of those rings. In this note we will prove a more general result, which deals with the change in homology under an adic approximation of any complex of finitely generated modules over a noetherian ring, and which allows one to descend not only modules of finite projective dimension, but also the Euler characteristic or intersection multiplicity of two such modules.

We extend Auslander and Buchsbaum's Euler characteristic from the category of finitely generated modules of finite projective dimension to the category of modules of finite G-dimension using Avramov and Martsinkovsky's notion of relative Betti numbers. We prove analogues of some properties of the classical invariant and provide examples showing that other properties do not translate to the new context. One unexpected property is in the characterization of the extremal behavior of this invariant: the vanishing of the Euler characteristic of a module $M$ of finite G-dimension implies the finiteness of the projective dimension of $M$. We include two applications of the Euler characteristic as well as several explicit calculations.

AbstractThe new intersection theorem states that, over a Noetherian local ring R, for any non-exact complex concentrated in degrees n,…,0 in the category P(length) of bounded complexes of finitely generated projective modules with finite-length homology, we must have n ≥ d = dim R.One of the results in this paper is that the Grothendieck group of P(length) in fact is generated by complexes concentrated in the minimal number of degrees: if Pd(length) denotes the full subcategory of P(length) consisting of complexes concentrated in degrees d,…0, the inclusion Pd(length) → P(length) induces an isomorphism of Grothendieck groups. When R is Cohen–Macaulay, the Grothendieck groups of Pd(length) and P(length) are naturally isomorphic to the Grothendieck group of the category M(length) of finitely generated modules of finite length and finite projective dimension. This and a family of similar results are established in this paper.

Let (R, 𝔪) be a Noetherian local ring. Denote by N-dim RA the Noetherian dimension of an Artinian R-module A. In this paper, we give some characterizations for the ring R to satisfy N-dim RA = dim (R/ Ann RA) for certain Artinian R-modules A. Then the existence of a co-localization compatible with Artinian R-modules is studied and it is shown that if it is compatible with local cohomologies of finitely generated modules, then the base ring is universally catenary and all of its formal fibers are Cohen-Macaulay.

Let M be a finitely generated module on a local ring R and [Formula: see text] a filtration of submodules of M such that do < d1 < ⋯ < dt = d, where di = dim Mi. This paper is concerned with a non-negative integer [Formula: see text] which is defined as the least degree of all polynomials in n1, …, nd bounding above the function [Formula: see text] We prove that [Formula: see text] is independent of the choice of good systems of parameters [Formula: see text]. When [Formula: see text] is the dimension filtration of M, we can use the polynomial type of Mi/Mi-1 and the dimension of the non-sequentially Cohen–Macaulay locus of M to compute [Formula: see text], and also to study the behavior of it under local flat homomorphisms.

We study finitely generated modules $M$ over a ring $R$, noetherian on both sides. If $M$ has finite Gorenstein dimension $\mbox{G-dim}_RM$ in the sense of Auslander and Bridger, then it determines two other cohomology theories besides the one given by the absolute cohomology functors ${\rm Ext}^n_R(M,\ )$. Relative cohomology functors ${\rm Ext}^n_{\mathcal G}(M,\ )$ are defined for all non-negative integers $n$; they treat the modules of Gorenstein dimension $0$ as projectives and vanish for $n > \mbox{G-dim}_RM$. Tate cohomology functors $\widehat{\rm Ext}^n_R(M,\ )$ are defined for all integers $n$; all groups $\widehat{\rm Ext}^n_R(M,N)$ vanish if $M$ or $N$ has finite projective dimension. Comparison morphisms $\varepsilon_{\mathcal G}^n \colon {\rm Ext}^n_{\mathcal G}(M,\ ) \to {\rm Ext}^n_R(M,\ )$ and $\varepsilon_R^n \colon {\rm Ext}^n_R(M,\ ) \to \widehat{\rm Ext}^n_R(M,\ )$ link these functors. We give a self-contained treatment of modules of finite G-dimension, establish basic properties of relative and Tate cohomology, and embed the comparison morphisms into a canonical long exact sequence $0 \to {\rm Ext}^1_{\mathcal G}(M,\ ) \to \cdots \to {\rm Ext}^n_{\mathcal G}(M,\ ) \to {\rm Ext}^n_R(M,\ ) \to \widehat{\rm Ext}^n_R(M,\ ) \to {\rm Ext}^{n+1}_{\mathcal G}(M,\ ) \to \cdots$. We show that these results provide efficient tools for computing old and new numerical invariants of modules over commutative local rings. 2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: 16E05, 13H10, 18G25.

All rings that occur in this note will be assumed to be commutative with unity and all modules will be finitely generated and unitary.The grade of a module M over a noetherian local ring R is defined to be the length of a maximal R-sequence contained in the annihilator of M. If M has finite projective dimension it is well-known that grade M ≤ proj. dim M. We can say more when R is a regular local ring.

Let (R,𝔪) be a Noetherian local ring, 𝔞 a proper ideal of R, and M, N two finitely generated R-modules of finite projective dimension m and of finite dimension n, respectively. It is shown that if n ≤ 2, then the generalized local cohomology module [Formula: see text] is a co-Cohen-Macaulay module. Additionally, we show that [Formula: see text] for all i > m+s and [Formula: see text], where s is the cohomological dimension of N with respect to 𝔞.
