We obtain some methods to construct a (strongly) proper resolution (resp. coproper coresolution) of one end term in a short exact sequence from that of the other two terms. By using this method, we prove that for a left and right Noetherian ring R, RR satisfies the Auslander condition if and only if so does every flat left R-module, if and only if the injective dimension of the ith term in a mi...

 Let $R=oplus_{nin Bbb N_0}R_n$ be a Noetherian homogeneous ring with local base ring $(R_0,frak{m}_0)$, $M$ and $N$ two finitely generated graded $R$-modules. Let $t$ be the least integer such that $H^t_{R_+}(M,N)$ is not minimax. We prove that $H^j_{frak{m}_0R}(H^t_{R_+}(M,N))$ is Artinian for $j=0,1$. Also, we show that if ${rm cd}(R_{+},M,N)=2$ and $tin Bbb N_0$, then $H^t_{frak{m}_0R}(H^2_...

We find a sufficient condition that H is not level based on a reduction number. In particular, we prove that a graded Artinian algebra of codimension 3 with Hilbert function H = (h0, h1, . . . , hd−1 > hd = hd+1) cannot be level if hd ≤ 2d + 3, and that there exists a level Osequence of codimension 3 of type H for hd ≥ 2d+k for k ≥ 4. Furthermore, we show that H is not level if β1,d+2(I ) = β2,...

For standard graded Artinian K-algebras defined by componentwise linear ideals and Gotzmann ideals, we give conditions for the weak Lefschetz property in terms of numerical invariants of the defining ideals.
