Let Λ be an Artinian algebra and F an additive subbifunctor of ExtΛ(−,−) having enough projectives and injectives. We prove that the dualizing subvarieties of mod Λ closed under F -extensions have F -almost split sequences. Let T be an F -cotilting module in mod Λ and S a cotilting module over Γ = End(T ). Then Hom(−, T ) induces a duality between F -almost split sequences in ⊥F T and almost sp...

In this paper, we study the problem when a finitely generated torsionless module is projective. Let Λ be an Artinian local algebra with radical square zero. Then a finitely generated torsionless Λ-module M is projective if Ext Λ (M,M) = 0. For a commutative Artinian ring Λ, a finitely generated torsionless Λ-module M is projective if the following conditions are satisfied: (1) Ext Λ (M,Λ) = 0 f...

The aim of this paper is to study integer rounding properties of various systems of linear inequalities to gain insight about the algebraic properties of Rees algebras of monomial ideals and monomial subrings. We study the normality and Gorenstein property—as well as the canonical module and the a-invariant—of Rees algebras and subrings arising from systems with the integer rounding property. W...

Let Λ be an Auslander’s 1-Gorenstein Artinian algebra with global dimension 2. If Λ admits a trivial maximal 1-orthogonal subcategory of modΛ, then for any indecomposable module M ∈ modΛ, we have that the projective dimension of M is equal to 1 if and only if so is its injective dimension and that M is injective if the projective dimension of M is equal to 2, which implies that Λ is almost here...

Following a construction of Stanley we consider toric face rings associated to rational pointed fans. This class of rings is a common generalization of the concepts of Stanley–Reisner and affine monoid algebras. The main goal of this article is to unify parts of the theories of Stanley–Reisnerand affine monoid algebras. We consider (nonpure) shellable fan’s and the Cohen–Macaulay property. More...

let r be a commutative ring with non-zero identity and m be a unital r-module. then the concept of quasi-secondary submodules of m is introduced and some results concerning this class of submodules is obtained

Inspired by recent work in the theory of central projections onto hyper-surfaces, we characterize self-linked perfect ideals of grade 2 as those with a Hilbert– Burch matrix that has a maximal symmetric subblock. We also prove that every Gorenstein perfect algebra of grade 1 can be presented, as a module, by a symmetric matrix. Both results are derived from the same elementary lemma about symme...

Let R be a local ring with maximal ideal m such that there exists a pair of elements a, b with (0 : a) = bR and (0 : b) = aR; we say that a pair a, b as above is an exact pair of zero divisors. We study minimal free resolutions of finitely generated R-modules M , with particular attention to the case when m = 0. Let e denote the minimal number of generators of m. If R is Gorenstein with m = 0 a...

Gross and Hopkins have proved that in chromatic stable homotopy, Spanier-Whitehead duality nearly coincides with Brown-Comenetz duality. Our goal is to give a conceptual interpretation for this phenomenon in terms of the Gorenstein condition for maps of ring spectra in the sense of [5] We describe a general notion of Brown-Comenetz dualizing module for a map of ring spectra and show that in thi...
