In this paper, we consider a finite, torsion-free module E over Gorenstein local ring. We provide sufficient conditions for to be of linear type and the Rees algebra R ( ) Cohen-Macaulay. Our results are obtained by constructing generic Bourbaki ideal I exploiting properties residual intersections .

In the winter of 1999 I gave a series of lectures at Queen’s university about some recent results concerning the Cohen-Macaulay property of invariants of Hopf algebras. Tony Geramita asked me to write up my notes for the Queen’s Papers, and I happily took up his suggestion. Although this article focuses on the proof of one main theorem (Theorem 2.11 on page 12), it has some of the character of ...

This paper shows that Cohen-Macaulay algebras can be algebraically approximated in such a way their Cohen-Macaulayness and minimal Betti numbers are preserved. is achieved by showing finitely generated modules over power series rings manner preserves diagrams of initial exponents numbers. These results also applied to obtain an approximation result for flat homomorphisms from algebras.

We prove a structure theorem for triangulated Calabi-Yau categories: An algebraic 2-Calabi-Yau triangulated category over an algebraically closed field is a cluster category iff it contains a cluster tilting subcategory whose quiver has no oriented cycles. We prove a similar characterization for higher cluster categories. As an application to commutative algebra, we show that the stable categor...
