Let (R,m) be a commutative Noetherian local ring. Suppose that M and N are finitely generated modules over R such that M has finite projective dimension and such that TorRi (M,N) = 0 for all i > 0. The main result of this note gives a condition on M which is necessary and sufficient for the tensor product of M and N to be a Cohen–Macaulay module over R, provided N is itself a Cohen–Macaulay mod...

Let (R,m) be a local Cohen-Macaulay ring whose m-adic completion R̂ has an isolated singularity. We verify the following conjecture of F.-O. Schreyer: R has finite Cohen-Macaulay type if and only if R̂ has finite Cohen-Macaulay type. We show also that the hypersurface k[[x0, . . . , xd]]/(f) has finite Cohen-Macaulay type if and only if k [[x0, . . . , xd]]/(f) has finite Cohen-Macaulay type, whe...

The Stanley’s Conjecture on Cohen-Macaulay multigraded modules is studied especially in dimension 2. In codimension 2 similar results were obtained by Herzog, Soleyman-Jahan and Yassemi. As a consequence of our results Stanley’s Conjecture holds in 5 variables.

In this note we address the problem of determining the maximum number of points of intersection of two arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay curves in P. We give a sharp upper bound for the maximum number of points of intersection of two irreducible arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay curves Ct and Ct−r in P 3 defined by the maximal minors of a t× (t+ 1), resp. (t− r)× (t − r + 1), matrix with linear entries...

in this paper, we introduce a subclass of chordal graphs which contains $d$-trees and show that their complement are vertex decomposable and so is shellable and sequentially cohen-macaulay.

Let G be a simple undirected graph on n vertices, and let I(G) ⊆ R = k[x 1 ,. .. , x n ] denote its associated edge ideal. We show that all chordal graphs G are sequentially Cohen-Macaulay; our proof depends upon showing that the Alexander dual of I(G) is componentwise linear. Our result complements Faridi's theorem that the facet ideal of a simplicial tree is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay and im...

In this paper, we characterize the shellable complete $t$-partite graphs. We also show for these types of graphs the concepts vertex decomposable, shellable and sequentially Cohen-Macaulay are equivalent. Furthermore, we give a combinatorial condition for the Cohen-Macaulay complete $t$-partite graphs.

In recent decades, by exploiting the algebraic properties of the Frobenius in positive characteristic, many so-called homological conjectures and intersection conjectures have been established, culminating into the powerful theory of tight closure and big Cohen–Macaulay algebras. In the present article, I give a survey of how these methods also can be applied directly in characteristic zero by ...

We characterize unmixed and Cohen-Macaulay edge-weighted edge ideals of very well-covered graphs. also provide examples oriented graphs that have non-Cohen-Macaulay vertex-weighted ideals, while the ideal their underlying graph is Cohen-Macaulay. This disproves a conjecture posed by Pitones, Reyes, Toledo.
