let $r$ be a commutative noetherian ring with non-zero identity and $fa$ an ideal of $r$. let $m$ be a finite $r$--module of finite projective dimension and $n$ an arbitrary finite $r$--module. we characterize the membership of the generalized local cohomology modules $lc^{i}_{fa}(m,n)$ in certain serre subcategories of the category of modules from upper bounds. we define and study the properti...

For every prime integer p, M. Hochster conjectured the existence of certain p-torsion elements in a local cohomology module over a regular ring of mixed characteristic. We show that Hochster’s conjecture is false. We next construct an example where a local cohomology module over a hypersurface has p-torsion elements for every prime integer p, and consequently has infinitely many associated prim...

We give in this paper which is the second in a series of five a theory of covariant derivatives of multivector and extensor fields based on the geometric calculus of an arbitrary smooth manifold M, and the notion of a connection extensor field defining a parallelism structure on M. Also we give a novel and intrinsic presentation (i.e., one that does not depend on a chosen orthonormal moving fra...

We complete a classification of the groups of endotrivial modules for the modular group algebras of symmetric groups and alternating groups. We show that, for n p2, the torsion subgroup of the group of endotrivial modules for the symmetric groups is generated by the sign representation. The torsion subgroup is trivial for the alternating groups. The torsion-free part of the group is free abelia...

let $r$ be a commutative ring with identity and $m$ be a finitely generated unital $r$-module. in this paper, first we give necessary and sufficient conditions that a finitely generated module to be a multiplication module. moreover, we investigate some conditions which imply that the module $m$ is the direct sum of some cyclic modules and free modules. then some properties of fitting ideals of...
