In this paper, we establish, as a generalization of a result on the classical homological dimensions of commutative rings, an upper bound on the Gorenstein global dimension of commutative rings using the global cotorsion dimension of rings. We use this result to compute the Gorenstein global dimension of some particular cases of trivial extensions of rings and of group rings.

Fix integers r, k, g with r > k > 0 and g ≥ 2. Let X be an integral projective curve with g := pa(X) and E a rank r torsion free sheaf on X which is a flat limit of a family of locally free sheaves on X. Here we prove the existence of a rank k subsheaf A of E such that r(deg(A)) ≥ k(deg(E)) − k(r − k)g. We show that for every g ≥ 9 there is an integral projective curve X,X not Gorenstein, and a...

We characterize the cd-indices of Gorenstein* posets of rank 5, equivalently the flag f -vectors of Gorenstein* order complexes of dimension 3. As a corollary, we characterize the f -vectors of Gorenstein* order complexes in dimensions 3 and 4. This characterization rise a speculated intimate connection between the f -vectors of flag homology spheres and the f -vectors of Gorenstein* order comp...

Let X be a projective minimal Gorenstein 3-fold of general type with canonical singularities. We prove that the 5canonical map is birational onto its image.

In this paper, we classify projective toric birational morphisms from Gorenstein toric 3-folds onto the 3-dimensional affine space with relatively ample anti-canonical divisors.

We characterize the cd-indices of Gorenstein* posets of rank 5, equivalently the flag f -vectors of Gorenstein* order complexes of dimension 3. As a corollary, we characterize the f -vectors of Gorenstein* order complexes in dimensions 3 and 4. This characterization rise a speculated intimate connection between the f -vectors of flag homology spheres and the f -vectors of Gorenstein* order comp...

In terms of the duality property of injective preenvelopes and flat precovers, we get an equivalent characterization of left Noetherian rings. For a left and right Noetherian ring R, we prove that the flat dimension of the injective envelope of any (Gorenstein) flat left R-module is at most the flat dimension of the injective envelope of RR. Then we get that the injective envelope of RR is (Gor...

Let (R,m, k) be a noetherian local ring. It is well-known that R is regular if and only if the injective dimension of k is finite. In this paper it is shown that R is Gorenstein if and only if the Gorenstein injective dimension of k is finite. On the other hand a generalized version of the so-called Bass formula is proved for finitely generated modules of finite Gorenstein injective dimension. ...
