The Canonical Module of GT-Varieties and the Normal Bundle of RL-Varieties

In this paper, we study the geometry of GT-varieties $$X_{d}$$ X d with group a finite cyclic group $$\Gamma \subset {{\,\mathrm{GL}\,}}(n+1,\mathbb {K})$$ Γ ⊂ GL ( n + 1 , K ) of order d. We prove that the homogeneous ideal $${{\,\mathrm{I}\,}}(X_{d})$$ I ( X d ) of $$X_{d}$$ X d is generated by binomials of degree at most 3 and we provide examples reaching this bound. We give a combinatorial description of the canonical module of the homogeneous coordinate ring of $$X_{d}$$ X d and we show that it is generated by monomial invariants of $$\Gamma $$ Γ of degree d and 2d. This allows us to characterize the Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity of the homogeneous coordinate ring of $$X_d$$ X d . Finally, we compute the cohomology table of the normal bundle of the so-called RL-varieties. They are projections of the Veronese variety $$\nu _{d}(\mathbb {P}^{n}) \subset \mathbb {P}^{\left( {\begin{array}{c}n+d\\ n\end{array}}\right) -1}$$ ν d ( P n ) ⊂ P n + d n - 1 which naturally arise from level GT-varieties.

Some criteria for regular and Gorenstein local rings via syzygy modules

Let [Formula: see text] be a Cohen–Macaulay local ring. We prove that the [Formula: see text]th syzygy module of a maximal Cohen–Macaulay [Formula: see text]-module cannot have a semidualizing direct summand for every [Formula: see text]. In particular, it follows that [Formula: see text] is Gorenstein if and only if some syzygy of a canonical module of [Formula: see text] has a nonzero free direct summand. We also give a number of necessary and sufficient conditions for a Cohen–Macaulay local ring of minimal multiplicity to be regular or Gorenstein. These criteria are based on vanishing of certain Exts or Tors involving syzygy modules of the residue field.

CANONICAL AND -CANONICAL MODULES OF A NOETHERIAN ALGEBRA

We define canonical and $n$-canonical modules of a module-finite algebra over a Noether commutative ring and study their basic properties. Using $n$-canonical modules, we generalize a theorem on $(n,C)$-syzygy by Araya and Iima which generalize a well-known theorem on syzygies by Evans and Griffith. Among others, we prove a noncommutative version of Aoyama’s theorem which states that a canonical module descends with respect to a flat local homomorphism.

Some loci related to Cohen–Macaulayness

Let (R, 𝔪) be a Noetherian local ring and M a finitely generated R-module. The pseudo Cohen–Macaulayness (respectively, generalized Cohen–Macaulayness) was introduced by Cuong–Nhan [Pseudo Cohen–Macaulay and pseudo generalized Cohen–Macaulay modules, J. Algebra267 (2003) 156–177] as an extension of the Cohen–Macaulayness (respectively, generalized Cohen–Macaulayness). In this paper, we describe the pseudo Cohen–Macaulay (pseudo CM) locus and pseudo generalized Cohen–Macaulay (pseudo generalized CM) locus of M. We also study the non-Cohen–Macaulay locus and the non-generalized Cohen–Macaulay locus of the canonical module K(M) of M in case where R is a quotient of a Gorenstein local ring.

Divisor class groups and graded canonical modules of multisection rings

We describe the divisor class group and the graded canonical module of the multisection ringT(X;D1,…,Ds) for a normal projective varietyXand Weil divisorsD1,…,DsonXunder a mild condition. In the proof, we use the theory of Krull domain and the equivariant twisted inverse functor.
