On top local cohomology modules, Matlis duality and tensor products

Let [Formula: see text] be an ideal of a local ring [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] the cohomological dimension of [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text]. In the case that [Formula: see text], we first give a bound for [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is complete. Later, [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are examined. In the case [Formula: see text], the set [Formula: see text] is considered.

Gorenstein homological dimensions and some duality results

Let [Formula: see text] be a local ring and [Formula: see text] denote the Matlis duality functor. Assume that [Formula: see text] possesses a normalized dualizing complex [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are two homologically bounded complexes of [Formula: see text]-modules with finitely generated homology modules. We will show that if G-dimension of [Formula: see text] and injective dimension of [Formula: see text] are finite, then [Formula: see text] Also, we prove that if Gorenstein injective dimension of [Formula: see text] and projective dimension of [Formula: see text] are finite, then [Formula: see text] These results provide some generalizations of Suzuki’s Duality Theorem and the Herzog–Zamani Duality Theorem.

On the de Rham homology and cohomology of a complete local ring in equicharacteristic zero

Let $A$ be a complete local ring with a coefficient field $k$ of characteristic zero, and let $Y$ be its spectrum. The de Rham homology and cohomology of $Y$ have been defined by R. Hartshorne using a choice of surjection $R\rightarrow A$ where $R$ is a complete regular local $k$-algebra: the resulting objects are independent of the chosen surjection. We prove that the Hodge–de Rham spectral sequences abutting to the de Rham homology and cohomology of $Y$, beginning with their $E_{2}$-terms, are independent of the chosen surjection (up to a degree shift in the homology case) and consist of finite-dimensional $k$-spaces. These $E_{2}$-terms therefore provide invariants of $A$ analogous to the Lyubeznik numbers. As part of our proofs we develop a theory of Matlis duality in relation to ${\mathcal{D}}$-modules that is of independent interest. Some of the highlights of this theory are that if $R$ is a complete regular local ring containing $k$ and ${\mathcal{D}}={\mathcal{D}}(R,k)$ is the ring of $k$-linear differential operators on $R$, then the Matlis dual $D(M)$ of any left ${\mathcal{D}}$-module $M$ can again be given a structure of left ${\mathcal{D}}$-module, and if $M$ is a holonomic ${\mathcal{D}}$-module, then the de Rham cohomology spaces of $D(M)$ are $k$-dual to those of $M$.

Grothendieck–Neeman duality and the Wirthmüller isomorphism

We clarify the relationship between Grothendieck duality à la Neeman and the Wirthmüller isomorphism à la Fausk–Hu–May. We exhibit an interesting pattern of symmetry in the existence of adjoint functors between compactly generated tensor-triangulated categories, which leads to a surprising trichotomy: there exist either exactly three adjoints, exactly five, or infinitely many. We highlight the importance of so-called relative dualizing objects and explain how they give rise to dualities on canonical subcategories. This yields a duality theory rich enough to capture the main features of Grothendieck duality in algebraic geometry, of generalized Pontryagin–Matlis duality à la Dwyer–Greenless–Iyengar in the theory of ring spectra, and of Brown–Comenetz duality à la Neeman in stable homotopy theory.

Right and left modules over the Frobenius skew polynomial ring in theF-finite case

The main purposes of this paper are to establish and exploit the result that, over a complete (Noetherian) local ringRof prime characteristic for which the Frobenius homomorphismfis finite, the appropriate restrictions of the Matlis-duality functor provide an equivalence between the category of left modules over the Frobenius skew polynomial ringR[x,f] that are Artinian asR-modules and the category of rightR[x,f]-modules that are Noetherian asR-modules.
