Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring. In this article, we provide some new criteria for a semidualizing module to be dualizing in terms of special homological properties of module categories. The purpose of this article is twofold: first, it aims at improving Christensen's and Takahashi et al.'s characterizations of dualizing modules; secondly, while applying these criteria to the ring itself, we not only recover some results of Jenda and Xu, respectively, but also obtain a new characterization of Gorenstein rings.

We give several characterizations of Zimmermann's uniform chain condition on matrix subgroups. In particular, we prove that a family of modules satisfies it precisely when the direct sum of their pure injective envelopes splits in their direct product. We also prove that a weaker non-uniform version of this condition is equivalent to Σ-algebraic compactness of reduced products. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Let X ⊂ (H0(L)) be a smooth projective variety embedded by the complete linear system associated to a very ample line bundle L on X. We call [image omitted] the section module of L. It has been known that the syzygies of RL as R = Sym(H0(L))-module play important roles in understanding geometric properties of X [2, 3, 5, 9, 10] even if X is not projectively normal. Generalizing the case of N2, p [2, 10], we prove some uniform theorems on higher normality and syzygies of a given linearly normal variety X and general inner projections when RL satisfies property N3, p (Theorems 1.1, 1.2, and Proposition 3.1). In particular, our uniform bounds are sharp as hyperelliptic curves and elementary transforms of elliptic ruled surfaces show. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work examines the possible projectivity of 2-modular block parts of nonprojective Lefschetz characters over 2-local geometries of several sporadic groups. Previously known results on M12, J2, and HS are mentioned for completeness. The main new results are on the sporadic groups Suz, Co3, Ru, O'N, and He. For each group, the Lefschetz character is calculated, and its 2-modular block parts are examined for projectivity. In each case it is confirmed that a nonprincipal block part contains a nonprojective summand. The case of O'N is additionally found to have a nonprojective summand in its principal block part. Nineteen of the sporadic groups (including many previously known cases) are categorized into three classes based on projectivity properties of their Lefschetz characters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, and let A = k[x, y]/(f) be a quasi-homogeneous plane curve. We show that for any graded torsion free A-module M, there exists a natural graded integrable connection, i.e., a graded A-linear homomorphism ∇: Derk(A) → Endk(M), that satisfies the derivation property and preserves the Lie product. In particular, a torsion free module N over the complete local ring [image omitted] admits a natural integrable connection if A is a simple curve singularity, or if A is irreducible and N is a gradable module.

Recently Jain, López-Permouth and Syed classified indecomposable non-local right continuous right π-rings. In the present article we describe the structure of right continuous right π-rings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
