AbstractTensor products usually have nonzero torsion. This is a central theme of Auslander's 1961 paper; the theme continues in the work of Huneke and Wiegand in the 1990s. The main focus in this article is on tensor powers of a finitely generated module over a local ring. Also, we study torsion-free modules N with the property that M ⊗R N has nonzero torsion unless M is very special. An important example of such a module N is the Frobenius power peR over a complete intersection domain R of characteristic p > 0.

Any finitely generated module M over a local ring R is endowed with a complete intersection dimension CI-dim RM and a Gorenstein dimension G-dim RM. The Gorenstein dimension can be extended to all modules over the ring R. This paper presents a similar extension for the complete intersection dimension, and mentions the relation between this dimension and the Gorenstein flat dimension. In addition, we show that in the intersection theorem, the flat dimension can be replaced by the complete intersection flat dimension.

AbstractOver a Cohen–Macaulay (CM) local ring, we characterize those modules that can be obtained as a direct limit of finitely generated maximal CM modules. We point out two consequences of this characterization: (1) Every balanced big CM module, in the sense of Hochster, can be written as a direct limit of small CM modules. In analogy with Govorov and Lazard's characterization of flat modules as direct limits of finitely generated free modules, one can view this as a “structure theorem” for balanced big CM modules. (2) Every finitely generated module has a pre-envelope with respect to the class of finitely generated maximal CM modules. This result is, in some sense, dual to the existence of maximal CM approximations, which has been proved by Auslander and Buchweitz.

In 5, I provided a method whereby the study of an Artinian module A over a commutative ring R (throughout the paper, R will denote a commutative ring with identity) can, for some purposes at least, be reduced to the study of an Artinian module A' over a complete (Noetherian) local ring; in the latter situation, Matlis' duality 1 (alternatively, see 6, ch. 5) is available, and this means that the investigation can often be converted into a dual one about a finitely generated module over a complete (Noetherian) local ring.

We consider the question of how minimal acyclic complexes of finitely generated free modules arise over a commutative local ring. A standard construction gives that every totally reflexive module yields such a complex. We show that for certain rings this construction is essentially the only method of obtaining such complexes. We also give examples of rings which admit minimal acyclic complexes of finitely generated free modules which cannot be obtained by means of this construction.

We introduce a new homological dimension for finitely generated modules over a commutative local ring R R , which is based on a complex derived from a free resolution L L of the residue field of R R , and called L L -dimension. We prove several properties of L L -dimension, give some applications, and compare L L -dimension to complete intersection dimension.

AbstractLet (R,m) be a Noetherian local ring and UR=Spec(R)−{m} be the punctured spectrum of R. Gabber conjectured that if R is a complete intersection of dimension three, then the abelian group Pic(UR) is torsion-free. In this note we prove Gabber’s statement for the hypersurface case. We also point out certain connections between Gabber’s conjecture, Van den Bergh’s notion of non-commutative crepant resolutions and some well-studied questions in homological algebra over local rings.

Let M be a non-zero finitely generated module over a commutative Noetherian local ring (R, 𝔪). In this paper we consider when the local cohomology modules are finitely generated. It is shown that if t ≥ 0 is an integer and [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] is not 𝔭-cofinite. Then we obtain a partial answer to a question raised by Huneke. Namely, if R is a complete local ring, then [Formula: see text] is finitely generated if and only if 0 ≤ n ∉ W, where [Formula: see text]. Also, we show that if J ⊆ I are 1-dimensional ideals of R, then [Formula: see text] is J-cominimax, and [Formula: see text] is finitely generated (resp., minimax) if and only if [Formula: see text] is finitely generated for all [Formula: see text] (resp., [Formula: see text]). Moreover, the concept of the J-cofiniteness dimension [Formula: see text] of M relative to I is introduced, and we explore an interrelation between [Formula: see text] and the filter depth of M in I. Finally, we show that if R is complete and dim M/IM ≠ 0, then [Formula: see text].
