EHP: Review and Rededication

-When thioguanine-resistant V79 cells are introduced into spinner flasks containing V79 multicell spheroids, the mutant cells attach to the surface of the spheroids. The composite spheroids thus formed consist of external, thioguanineresistant (TGr) and internal, thioguanine-sensitive cells. Cell sorting with a Becton Dickinson FACS II was used to determine the relative position of TGr cells an...

Decency and Rigidity over Hypersurfaces

We study two properties of modules over an equicharacteristic or unramified local hypersurface R: decency and rigidity. We show that the vanishing of Hochster’s function θ(M,N), known to imply decent intersection, also implies rigidity. We investigate the vanishing of θ(M,N) to obtain new results about decency and rigidity over hypersurfaces. We employ a mixture of techniques from Commutative A...
