Let R be a hypersurface in an equicharacteristic or unramified regular local ring. For a pair of modules (M, N) over R we study applications of rigidity of Tor(M, N), based on ideas by Huneke, Wiegand and Jorgensen. We then focus on the hypersurfaces with isolated singularity and even dimension, and show that modules over such rings behave very much like those over regular local rings. Connecti...

we introduce the notion ofstrongly $alpha$-reversible rings which is a strong version of$alpha$-reversible rings, and investigate its properties. we firstgive an example to show that strongly reversible rings need not bestrongly $alpha$-reversible. we next argue about the strong$alpha$-reversibility of some kinds of extensions. a number ofproperties of this version are established. it is shown ...
