Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $M$ be a unitary $R$-module. An $R$-module $M$ is called a multiplication module if for every submodule $N$ of $M$ there exists an ideal $I$ of $R$ such that $N = IM$. It is shown that over a Noetherian domain $R$ with dim$(R)leq 1$, multiplication modules are precisely cyclic or isomorphic to an invertible ideal of $R$. Moreover, we give a charac...

the generalized principal ideal theorem is one of the cornerstones of dimension theory for noetherian rings. for an r-module m, we identify certain submodules of m that play a role analogous to that of prime ideals in the ring r. using this definition, we extend the generalized principal ideal theorem to modules.

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...

We define a notion of total acyclicity for complexes of flat quasi-coherent sheaves over a semi-separated noetherian scheme, generalising complete flat resolutions over a ring. By studying these complexes as objects of the pure derived category of flat sheaves we extend several results about totally acyclic complexes of projective modules to schemes; for example, we prove that a scheme is Goren...
