We introduce and investigate the notion of GC -projective modules over (possibly non-noetherian) commutative rings, where C is a semidualizing module. This extends Holm and Jørgensen’s notion of C-Gorenstein projective modules to the non-noetherian setting and generalizes projective and Gorenstein projective modules within this setting. We then study the resulting modules of finite GC-projectiv...

Let R <-* S be an embedding of associative noetherian rings such that 5 is finitely generated as a right Ä-module. There is a correspondence from the prime spectrum of S to the prime spectrum of R obtained by associating to a given prime ideal P of S the prime ideals of R minimal over P n R . The prime and primitive ideal theories for several specific noncommutative noetherian rings, including ...

Let R be an associative ring with identity. We study an elementary generalization of the classical Zariski topology, applied to the set of isomorphism classes of simple left Rmodules (or, more generally, simple objects in a complete abelian category). Under this topology the points are closed, and when R is left noetherian the corresponding topological space is noetherian. If R is commutative (...

Let R be an associative ring. A map σ : R → R is called a ring endomorphism if σ(x+y) = σ(x)+σ(y) and σ(xy) = σ(x)σ(y) for all elements a,b ∈ R. A ring R is said to be rigid if it has only the trivial ring endomorphisms, that is, identity idR and zero 0R . Rigid left Artinian rings were described by Maxson [9] and McLean [11]. Friger [4, 6] has constructed an example of a noncommutative rigid r...

For any separated map f : X → Y of quasi-compact quasiseparated schemes, Rf∗ : D + qc(X) → D (Y ) has a right adjoint f . If f is proper and pseudo-coherent (e.g., finitely-presented and flat) then Duality and tor-independent Base Change hold for f . Preface This is a research summary written early in 1991, concerning results obtained by the author during a stay at MSRI in Berkeley during 1989–...
