The Betti numbers βn(k) of the residue class field k = R/m of a commutative local ring (R, m) have been studied for about 20 years, primarily as the coefficients of the Poincaré series of E . Several authors have obtained results about the growth of the sequence {βn(k)}.For example, Gulliksen [3] showed that when R is non-regular, the sequence is non-decreasing. More recently, Avramov [1] studied asymptotic properties of {βn(k)} and found that under certain conditions the growth is exponential, i.e., there is a natural number p such that for all n, βpn(k) ≧ 2n.In this paper, we examine the sequence {βn(M)} for arbitrary finitely generated non-free modules M over any commutative local artin ring R. We establish the following bounds:123where l(X) is the length of X.

Let R0 be a Noetherian local ring and R a standard graded R0-algebra with maximal ideal 𝔪 and residue class field 𝕂 = R/𝔪. For a graded ideal I in R we show that for k ≫ 0: (1) the Artin-Rees number of the syzygy modules of Ik as submodules of the free modules from a free resolution is constant, and thereby the Artin-Rees number can be presented as a proper replacement of regularity in the local situation; and (2) R is a polynomial ring over the regular R0, the ring R/Ik is Golod, its Poincaré-Betti series is rational and the Betti numbers of the free resolution of 𝕂 over R/Ik are polynomials in k of a specific degree. The first result is an extension of the work by Swanson on the regularity of Ik for k ≫ 0 from the graded situation to the local situation. The polynomiality consequence of the second result is an analog of the work by Kodiyalam on the behaviour of Betti numbers of the minimal free resolution of R/Ik over R.

Let k be a local field; that is, a complete discrete-valued field having a perfect residue class field. If L is a finite Galois extension of k then L is also a local field. Let G denote the Galois group GL|k. Then the nth ramification group Gn is defined bywhere OL, denotes the ring of integers of L, and PL is the prime ideal of OL. The ramification groups form a descending chain of invariant subgroups of G:1In this paper, an attempt is made to characterize (in terms of the arithmetic of k) the ramification filters (1) obtained from abelian extensions L\k.

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.

1. Let k denote a local field, that is, a complete discrete-valued field with perfect residue class field . Let G denote the Galois group of the maximal separable algebraic extension M of k, and let g denote the corresponding object over . For a given prime integer p, let G(p) denote the Galois group of the maximal p-extension of k. The dimensions of the cohomology groupsconsidered as vector spaces over the prime field Z/pZ, are equal, respectively, to the rank and the relation rank of the pro-p-group G(p); see [4; 9]. These dimensions are well known in many cases, especially when k is finite [6; 3; (Hoechsmann) 2, pp. 297-304], but also when k has characteristic p, or when k contains a primitive pth root of unity [4, p. 205].

Throughout this note, let R be a discrete valuation ring with prime element π, residue class field , and quotient field K. Let Λ be an R-order in a finite dimensional K-algebra A. A Λ-lattice is an R-free finitely generated left Λ-module. For k > 0, we setwhere M is any Λ-lattice. Obviously, for Λ-lattices M and N,Maranda [1] and D. G. Higman [3] considered the reverse implication, and ProvedTHEOREM. Let Λ be an R-order in a separable K-algebra A. Then there exists a positive integer k (which depends on Λ) with the following property: for each pair of Λ-lattices M and N,Indeed,m it suffices to choose k so thatMaranda proved this result for the special case where Λ is the integral group ring RG of a finite group G.

AbstractWe give model theoretic criteria for the existence of ∃∀ and ∀∃- formulas in the ring language to define uniformly the valuation rings ${\cal O}$ of models $\left( {K,\,{\cal O}} \right)$ of an elementary theory Σ of henselian valued fields. As one of the applications we obtain the existence of an ∃∀-formula defining uniformly the valuation rings ${\cal O}$ of valued henselian fields $\left( {K,\,{\cal O}} \right)$ whose residue class field k is finite, pseudofinite, or hilbertian. We also obtain ∀∃-formulas φ2 and φ4 such that φ2 defines uniformly k[[t]] in k(t) whenever k is finite or the function field of a real or complex curve, and φ4 replaces φ2 if k is any number field.

AbstractLet R be a commutative Noetherian local ring. This paper deals with the problem asking whether R is Gorenstein if the nth syzygy module of the residue class field of R has a non-trivial direct summand of finite G-dimension for some n. It is proved that if n is at most two then it is true, and moreover, the structure of the ring R is determined essentially uniquely.

A ring with involution ∗ is called ∗-clean if each of its elements is the sum of a unit and a projection (∗-invariant idempotent). In this paper, we consider the group algebras of the dihedral groups [Formula: see text], and the generalized quaternion groups [Formula: see text] with standard involution ∗. For the non-semisimple group algebra case, we characterize the ∗-cleanness of [Formula: see text] with a prime [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a commutative local ring. For the semisimple group algebra case, we investigate when [Formula: see text] is ∗-clean, where [Formula: see text] is the field of rational numbers [Formula: see text] or a finite field [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text].

Letbe a function holomorphic in the disk, wherep is a natural number andIfthen then f(z) assumes every complex value infinitely often in every sector.The purpose of this note is to prove the above result. To do this, we first observe that from the condition a<∞, we can easily show that the derivative f′(z) satisfying

AbstractLet $${\mathcal {M}}$$ M denote the maximal ideal of the ring of integers of a non-Archimedean field K with residue class field k whose invertible elements, we denote $$k^{\times }$$ k × , and a uniformizer we denote $$\pi $$ π . In this paper, we consider the map $$T_{v}: {\mathcal {M}} \rightarrow {\mathcal {M}}$$ T v : M → M defined by $$\begin{aligned} T_v(x) = \frac{\pi ^{v(x)}}{x} - b(x), \end{aligned}$$ T v ( x ) = π v ( x ) x - b ( x ) , where b(x) denotes the equivalence class to which $$\frac{\pi ^{v(x)}}{x}$$ π v ( x ) x belongs in $$k^{\times }$$ k × . We show that $$T_v$$ T v preserves Haar measure $$\mu $$ μ on the compact abelian topological group $${\mathcal {M}}$$ M . Let $${\mathcal {B}}$$ B denote the Haar $$\sigma $$ σ -algebra on $${\mathcal {M}}$$ M . We show the natural extension of the dynamical system $$({\mathcal {M}}, {\mathcal {B}}, \mu , T_v)$$ ( M , B , μ , T v ) is Bernoulli and has entropy $$\frac{\#( k)}{\#( k^{\times })}\log (\#( k))$$ # ( k ) # ( k × ) log ( # ( k ) ) . The first of these two properties is used to study the average behaviour of the convergents arising from $$T_v$$ T v . Here for a finite set A its cardinality has been denoted by $$\# (A)$$ # ( A ) . In the case $$K = {\mathbb {Q}}_p$$ K = Q p , i.e. the field of p-adic numbers, the map $$T_v$$ T v reduces to the well-studied continued fraction map due to Schneider.
