Let $(Q, \mathfrak{n})$ be a regular local ring and let $f_1, \ldots, f_c \in \mathfrak{n}^2$ be a $Q$-regular sequence. Set $(A, \mathfrak{m}) = (Q/(\mathbf{f}), \mathfrak{n}/(\mathbf{f}))$. Further assume that the initial forms $f_1^*, \ldots, f_c^*$ form a $G(Q) = \bigoplus_{n \geq 0}\mathfrak{n}^i/\mathfrak{n}^{i+1}$-regular sequence. Without loss of any generality assume $ord_Q(f_1) \geq ord_Q(f_2) \geq \cdots \geq ord_Q(f_c)$. Let $M$ be a finitely generated $A$-module and let $(\mathbb{F}, \partial)$ be a minimal free resolution of $M$. Then we prove that $ord(\partial_i) \leq ord_Q(f_1) - 1$ for all $i \gg 0$. We also construct an MCM $A$-module $M$ such that $ord(\partial_{2i+1}) = ord_Q(f_1) - 1$ for all $i \geq 0$. We also give a considerably simpler proof regarding the periodicity of ideals of minors of maps in a minimal free resolution of modules over arbitrary complete intersection rings (not necessarily strict)., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1109.5326

Let $K$ be a field and let $S = K[X_1, \ldots, X_n]$. Let $I$ be a graded ideal in $S$ and let $M$ be a finitely generated graded $S$-module. We give upper bounds on the regularity of Koszul homology modules $H_i(I, M)$ for several classes of $I$ and $M$.

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an excellent normal local ring of dimension $d \geq 2$ with infinite residue field. Let $I$ be an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal. Then the following assertions are equivalent: (i) The extended Rees algebra $A[It, t^{-1}]$ is $R_1$. (ii) The Rees algebra $A[It]$ is $R_1$. (iii) $Proj(A[It])$ is $R_1$. (iv) $(I^n)^* = (I^n)_1$ for all $n \geq 1$. Here $(I^n)^*$ is the integral closure of $I^n$ and $(I^n)_1$ is the first coefficient ideal of $I^n$.

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic 0 and $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_m]/I$ be an affine domain. Consider $R=S_P$ where $P\in Spec(S)$ such that $R$ is regular. In this paper we construct a field $F$ which is contained in $R$ such that (1) The residue field of $R$ is a finite extension of $F$. (2) $D_F(R)$, the ring of $F$-linear differential operators on $R$ is left and right Noetherian with finite global dimension. (3) The Bernstein class of $D_F(R)$ is closed under localization at one element of $R$. We also prove a similar result for $R^h$, the Henselization of $R$. As an application we prove that $\frac{D_F(R)}{D_F(R)P}\cong E(\kappa(P))$ where $E(\kappa(P))$ is the injective hull of the residue field of $R$., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1202.3597 by other authors

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an analytically un-ramified Noetherian local ring of dimension $d \geq 1$, $I$ a regular $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal of $A$ and let $\overline{I}$ be integral closure ideal of $I$. If $A$ is of characteristic $p > 0$ then let $I^*$ denote the tight closure of $I$. Let $G_I(A)=\bigoplus_{n\geq 0}I^n/I^{n+1}$ be the associated graded ring of $A$ with respect to $I$. Assume $G_I(A)$ is unmixed and equi-dimensional. We show that either the function $P_{\overline{I}} :\,n\mapsto \lambda(\overline{I^n}/I^n)$ is a polynomial type of degree $d-1$ or $\overline{I^n}=I^n$ for all $n\geq 1.$ We prove an analogus result for the tight closure filtration if $A$ is of characteristic $p > 0$. When $A$ is generalized Cohen-Macaulay and $I$ is generated by standard system of parameters we give bounds for the first Hilbert coefficients of the integral closure filtration of $I$ and the tight closure filtration of $I$.

Let $A$ be a Noetherian ring of dimension $d$ and let $\mathcal{D}^b(A)$ be the bounded derived category of $A$. Let $\mathcal{D}_i^b(A)$ denote the thick subcategory of $\mathcal{D}^b(A)$ consisting of complexes $\mathbf{X}_\bullet$ with $\dim H^n(\mathbf{X}_\bullet) \leq i$ for all $n$. Set $\mathcal{D}_{-1}^b(A) = 0$. Consider the Verdier quotients $\mathcal{C}_i(A) = \mathcal{D}_i^b(A)/\mathcal{D}_{i-1}^b(A)$. We show for $i = 0, \ldots, d$, $\mathcal{C}_i(A)$ is a Krull-Remak-Schmidt triangulated category with a bounded $t$-structure. We identify its heart. We also prove that if $A$ is regular then $\mathcal{C}_i(A)$ has AR-triangles. We also prove that $$ \mathcal{C}_i(A) \cong \bigoplus_{\stackrel{P}{\dim A/P = i}} \mathcal{D}_0^b(A_P). $$

Let $R$ be a commutative ring If $\mathcal{C}_1$ and $\mathcal{C}_2$ are $R$-linear triangulated categories then we can give an obvious triangulated structure on $\mathcal{C} = \mathcal{C}_1 \oplus \mathcal{C}_2$ where $Hom_\mathcal{C}(U, V) = 0$ if $U \in \mathcal{C}_i$ and $V \in \mathcal{C}_j$ with $i \neq j$. We say a $R$-linear triangulated category $\mathcal{C}$ is disconnected if $\mathcal{C} = \mathcal{C}_1 \oplus \mathcal{C}_2$ where $\mathcal{C}_i$ are non-zero triangulated subcategories of $\mathcal{C}$. Let $\mathcal{C}_i$ and $\mathcal{D}_j$ be connected triangulated $R$ categories with $i \in \Gamma$ and $j \in \Lambda$. Suppose there is an equivalence of triangulated $R$-categories \[ \Phi \colon \bigoplus_{i \in \Gamma}\mathcal{C}_i \xrightarrow{\cong} \bigoplus_{j \in \Lambda}\mathcal{D}_j \] Then we show that there is a bijective function $\pi \colon \Gamma \rightarrow \Lambda$ such that we have an equivalence $\mathcal{C}_i \cong \mathcal{D}_{\pi(i)} $ for all $i \in \Gamma$. We give several examples of connected triangulated categories and also of triangulated subcategories which decompose into utmost finitely many components.

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a hypersurface local ring of dimension $d \geq 1$ and let $I$ be an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal. We show that there is a non-negative integer $r_I$ (depending only on $I$) such that if $M$ is any non-free maximal Cohen-Macaulay $A$-module the function $n \rightarrow \ell(Tor^A_1(M, A/I^{n+1}))$ (which is of polynomial type) has degree $r_I$. Analogous results hold for Hilbert polynomials associated to Ext-functors. Surprisingly a key ingredient is the classification of thick subcategories of the stable category of MCM $A$-modules (obtained by Takahashi)., Comment: Two new results added. Some typos corrected

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an analytically unramified Cohen-Macaulay local ring of dimension $d \geq 3$ and let $\mathfrak{a}$ be an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal in $A$. If $I$ is an ideal in $A$ then let $I^*$ be the integral closure of $I$ in $A$. Let $G_{\mathfrak{a}}(A)^* = \bigoplus_{n\geq 0 }(\mathfrak{a}^n)^*/(\mathfrak{a}^{n+1})^*$ be the associated graded ring of the integral closure filtration of $\mathfrak{a}$. Itoh conjectured in 1992 that if third Hilbert coefficient of $G_{\mathfrak{a}}(A)^*$ , i.e., $e_3^{\mathfrak{a}^*}(A) = 0$ and $A$ is Gorenstein then $G_{\mathfrak{a}}(A)^*$ is Cohen-Macaulay. In this paper we prove Itoh's conjecture (more generally for analytically unramified Cohen-Macaulay local rings)., Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:2205.10615

Let $A$ be a Noetherian ring and let $I$ be an ideal in $A$. Let $\mathcal{F} = \{ J_n \}_{n \geq 0}$ be a multiplicative filtration of ideals in $A$ such that $\mathcal{R}(\mathcal{F}) = \bigoplus_{n \geq 0} J_n$ is a finitely generated $A$-algebra. Let $\mathcal{R} = A[It]$ and assume $I^n \subseteq J_n$ for all $n \geq 1$. We show the following two assertions are equivalent: (1) For all $i \geq 0$ we have $H^i_{\mathcal{R}_+}(\mathcal{R}(\mathcal{F}))_n = 0$ for all $n \gg 0$. (2) $J_n \subseteq \overline{I^n}$ for all $n \geq 1$. Here $\overline{I^n}$ is the integral closure of $I^n$.

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a regular local ring of dimension $d \geq 1$. Let $\mathcal{D}^2_{fg}(A)$ denote the derived category of $2$-periodic complexes with finitely generated cohomology modules. Let $\mathcal{K}^2(\proj A) $ denote the homotopy category of $2$-periodic complexes of finitely generated free $A$-modules. We show the natural map $\mathcal{K}^2(\ proj \ A) \longrightarrow \mathcal{D}^2(A)$ is an equivalence of categories. When $A$ is complete we show that $\mathcal{K}^2_f(\ proj \ A)$ ($2$-periodic complexes with finite length cohomology) is Krull-Schmidt with Auslander-Reiten (AR) triangles. We also compute the AR-quiver of $\mathcal{K}^2_f(\ proj \ A)$ when $\ dim \ A = 1$.

In this paper we give bountiful examples of Gorenstein local rings $A$ and $B$ such that there is a triangle equivalence between the stable categories \underline{CM}($A$), \underline{CM}($B$).

Let $A$ be the ring of integers of global field $K$. Let $G \subseteq GL_2(A)$ be a finite group. Let $G$ act linearly on $R = A[X,Y]$ (fixing $A$). Let $R^G$ be the ring of invariants. In the equi-characteristic case we prove $R^G$ is Cohen-Macaulay. In mixed characteristic case we prove that if for all primes $p$ dividing $|G|$ the Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$ has exponent $p$ then $R^G$ is Cohen-Macaulay. We prove a similar case if for all primes $p$ dividing $|G|$ the prime $p$ is un-ramified in $K$.

Let $A$ be a Noetherian ring and let $\mathcal{R} = \bigoplus_{n \geq 0}\mathcal{R}_n$ be a standard graded ring with $\mathcal{R}_0 = A$. We define a category $\mathfrak{A}(\mathcal{R})$ of graded $\mathcal{R}$-modules (not necessarily finitely generated) with the following properties: if $X = \bigoplus_{n \in \mathbb{Z}} X_n \in \mathfrak{A}(\mathcal{R}) $ then (1) $X_i$ is finitely generated $A$-module for all $i \in \mathbb{Z}$ and $X_i = 0$ for $i \ll 0$. (2) There exists $n_0$ such that $\text{Ass}_A X_n = \text{Ass}_A X_{n_0}$ for all $n \geq n_0$. (3) If $X_n$ has finite length as an $A$-module for all $n$ then there exists $P_X(z) \in \mathbb{Q}[z]$ such that $P_X(n) = \ell_A(X_n)$ for all $n \gg 0$. (4) If $F$ is a coherent functor on the category of finitely generated $A$-modules then $F(X) = \bigoplus_{n \in \mathbb{Z}} F(X_n) \in \mathfrak{A}(\mathcal{R})$. (5) For an ideal $J$ in $A$, there exists $c_J^X$ such that $\text{grade}(J, X_n) = \text{grade}(J, X_{c_J^X})$ for all $n \geq c_J^X$. We give a unified proof of several results in theory of associate primes and related areas.

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a regular local ring of dimension $d \geq 1$, $I$ an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal. Let $N$ be a non-zero finitely generated $A$-module. Consider the functions \[ t^I(N, n) = \sum_{i = 0}^{ d}\ell(\text{Tor}^A_i(N, A/I^n)) \ \text{and}\ e^I(N, n) = \sum_{i = 0}^{ d}\ell(\text{Ext}_A^i(N, A/I^n)) \] of polynomial type and let their degrees be $t^I(N) $ and $e^I(N)$. We prove that $t^I(N) = e^I(N) = \max\{ \dim N, d -1 \}$.

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an excellent equi-charateristic Gorenstein isolated singularity of dimension $d \geq 2$. Assume the residue field of $A$ is perfect. Let $I$ be any $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal. Let $G_I(A) = \bigoplus_{n \geq 0}I^n/I^{n+1}$ be the associated graded ring of $A$ with respect to $I$ and let $\mathcal{R}_I(A) = \bigoplus_{n \in \mathbb{Z}}I^n$ be the extended Rees algebra of $A$ with respect to $I$. Let $M$ be a finitely generated $A$-module. Let $G_I(M) = \bigoplus_{n \geq 0}I^nM/I^{n+1}M$ be the associated graded ring of $M$ with respect to $I$ (considered as a $G_I(A)$-module). Let $BH^i(G_I(M))$ be the $i^{th}$-Bockstein cohomology of $G_I(M)$ with respect to $\mathcal{R}_I(A)_+$-torsion functor. We show there exists $a \geq 1$ depending only on $A$ such that if $I$ is any $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal with $I \subseteq \mathfrak{m}^a$ and $G_I(A) $ generalized Cohen-Macaulay then the Bockstein cohomology $BH^i(G_I(M))$ has finite length for $i = 0, \ldots, d-1$ for any maximal Cohen-Macaulay $A$-module $M$.

In this paper we give several classes of Non-Gorenstein local rings $A$ which satisfy the property that $\text{Ext}^i_A(M, A) = 0$ for $i \gg 0$ then $\text{projdim}_A M$ is finite. We also show that if $\text{injdim}_A M = \infty$ then over such rings the bass-numbers of $M$ (with respect to $\mathfrak{m}$) are unbounded. When $A$ is a hypersurface ring we give an alternate proof of a result due to Takahashi regarding thick subcategories of the stable category of maximal Cohen-Macaulay $A$-modules. This result of Takahashi implies some results due to Avramov, Buchweitez, Huneke and Wiegand. The technique used to prove our results is that the minimal resolution of the relevant rings have an appropriate DG-algebra structure (philosophically this technique is due to Nasseh, Ono, and Yoshino).

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Gorenstein local ring and let $M$ be a finitely generated Cohen Macaulay $A$ module. Let $G(A)=\bigoplus_{n\geq 0}\mathfrak{m}^n/\mathfrak{m}^{n+1}$ be the associated graded ring of $A$ and $G(M)=\bigoplus_{n\geq 0}\mathfrak{m}^nM/\mathfrak{m}^{n+1}M$ be the associated graded module of $M$. If $A$ is regular and if $G(M)$ has a quasi-pure resolution then we show that $G(M)$ is Cohen-Macaulay. If $G(A)$ is Cohen-Macaulay and if $M$ has finite projective dimension then we give lower bounds on $e_0(M)$ and $e_1(M)$. Finally let $A = Q/(f_1, \ldots, f_c)$ be a strict complete intersection with $\text{ord}(f_i) = s$ for all $i$. Let $M$ be an Cohen-Macaulay module with $\text{cx}_A(M) = r < c$. We give lower bounds on $e_0(M)$ and $e_1(M)$.

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a short Artin local ring (i.e., $\mathfrak{m}^3 = 0$ and $\mathfrak{m}^2 \neq 0$). Assume $A$ is not a hypersurface ring. We show there exists $c_A \geq 2$ such that if $M$ is any finitely generated module with bounded betti-numbers then $c_A $ divides $\ell(M)$, the length of $M$. If $A$ is not a complete intersection then there exists $b_A \geq 2$ such that if $M$ is any module with $curv(M) < \ curv(k)$ then $b_A$ divides $\ell(\Omega^i_A(M))$ for all $i \geq 1$ (here $\Omega^i_A(M)$ denotes the $i^{th}$-syzygy of $M$).

Let $k$ be an infinite field of characteristic $p > 0$ and let $R = k[Y_1,\ldots, Y_d]$ (or $R = k[[Y_1,\ldots, Y_d]]$). Let $F \colon \text{Mod}(R) \rightarrow \text{Mod}(R)$ be the Frobenius functor and let $\mathcal{M}$ be a $F_R$-finite module (in the sense of Lyubeznik \cite{Lyu-2}). We show that if $r \geq 1$ then the Koszul homology modules $H_i(Y_1,\ldots, Y_r; \mathcal{M})$ are $F_{\overline{R}}$-finite modules where $\overline{R} = R/(Y_1,\ldots, Y_r)$ for $i = 0, \ldots, r$. As an application if $A$ is a regular ring containing a field of characteristic $p > 0$ and $S = A[X_1,\ldots, X_m]$ is standard graded and $I$ is an arbitrary graded ideal in $S$ then we give a comprehensive study of graded components of local cohomology modules $H^i_I(S)$. This extends in positive characteristic results we proved in \cite{P}. We study $H^i_I(S) $ when $A$ is local and prove that if $S/I$ is equidimensional and $Proj(S/I)$ is Cohen-Macaulay then $H^i_I(S)_n = 0$ for all $n \geq 0$ and for all $i > \ height \ I$. If $B$ is a equicharacteristic local Noetherian ring with infinite residue field and with a surjective map $\pi \colon T \rightarrow B$ where $(T,\mathfrak{n})$ is regular local then we show that the Koszul cohomology modules $H^j(\mathfrak{n}, H^{\dim T - i}_{\ker \pi }(T))$ depend only on $A, i, j$ and not on $T$ and $\pi$., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1701.01270

Let $A$ be a commutative Noetherian ring of characteristic zero and $R=A[X_1, \ldots, X_d]$ be a polynomial ring over $A$ with the standard $\mathbb{N}^d$-grading. Let $I\subseteq R$ be an ideal which can be generated by elements of the form $aU$ where $a \in A$ (possibly nonunit) and $U$ is a monomial in $X_i$'s. We call such an ideal as a `$\mathfrak{C}$-monomial ideal'. Local cohomology modules supported on monomial ideals gain a great deal of interest due to their applications in the context of toric varieties. It was observed that for $\underline{u} \in \mathbb{Z}^d$, their $\underline{u}^{th}$ components depend only on which coordinates of $\underline{u}$ are negative. In this article, we show that this statement holds true in our general setting, even for certain invariants of the components. We mainly focus on the Bass numbers, injective dimensions, dimensions, associated primes, Bernstein-type dimensions, and multiplicities of the components. Under the extra assumption that $A$ is regular, we describe the finiteness of Bass numbers of each component and bound its injective dimension by the dimension of its support. Finally, we present a structure theorem for the components when $A$ is the ring of formal power series in one variable over a characteristic zero field.

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a \CM\ local ring, then notion of $T$-split sequence was introduced in part-1 of this paper for $\mathfrak{m}$-adic filtration with the help of numerical function $e^T_A$. We have explored the relation between AR-sequences and $T$-split sequences. For a Gorenstein ring $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ we define a Hom-finite Krull-Remak-Schmidt category $\mathcal{D}_A$ as a quotient of the stable category $\CMS(A)$. This category preserves isomorphism, i.e. $M\cong N$ in $\mathcal{D}_A$ if and only if $M\cong N$ in $\CMS(A)$.This article has two objectives; first objective is to extend the notion of $T$-split sequence, and second objective is to explore function $e^T_A$ and $T$-split sequence. When $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an \anram\ \CM\ local ring and $I$ be an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal then we extend the techniques in part-1 of this paper to the integral closure filtration with respect to $I$ and prove a version of Brauer-Thrall-II for a class of such rings.

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Gorenstein local ring of dimension $d \geq 1$. Suppose there exists be a non-zero $A$ module $M$ of finite length and finite projective dimension such that $\ell\ell(M)$, the Lowey length of $M$, is equal to $\lambda(M)$, the length of $M$. Then we show that necessarily $A$ is at worst a hypersurface singularity. We also characterize Gorenstein local rings having a non-zero module $M$ of finite length and finite projective dimension with $\ell\ell(M) = \lambda(M)-1$.

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an excellent normal domain of dimension two containing a field $k \cong A/\mathfrak{m}$. An $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal $I$ to be a $p_g$-ideal if the Rees algebra $A[It]$ is a Cohen-Macaulay normal domain. If $k$ is algebraically closed then Okuma, Watanabe and Yoshida proved that $A$ has $p_g$-ideals and furthermore product of two $p_g$-ideals is a $p_g$ ideal. In a previous paper we showed that if $k$ has characteristic zero then $A$ has $p_g$-ideals. In this paper we prove that if $k$ is perfect field of positive characteristic then also $A$ has $p_g$ ideals., Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1808.09130

If $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ is a hypersurface ring of dimension $d$ with $e(A)=3$.

The aim of this article is to consider the spectral sequences induced by tensor-hom adjunction, and provide a number of new results. Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring of dimension $d$. In the 1st part, it is proved that $R$ is Gorenstein if and only if it admits a nonzero CM (Cohen-Macaulay) module $M$ of finite Gorenstein dimension $g$ such that ${\rm type}(M) \le \mu( {\rm Ext}_R^g(M,R) )$ (e.g., ${\rm type}(M)=1$). This considerably strengthens a result of Takahashi. Moreover, we show that if there is a nonzero $R$-module $M$ of depth $\ge d - 1$ such that the injective dimensions of $M$, ${\rm Hom}_R(M,M)$ and ${\rm Ext}_R^1(M,M)$ are finite, then $M$ has finite projective dimension and $R$ is Gorenstein. In the 2nd part, we assume that $R$ is CM with a canonical module $\omega$. For CM $R$-modules $M$ and $N$, we show that the vanishing of one of the following implies the same for others: ${\rm Ext}_R^{\gg 0}(M,N^{+})$, ${\rm Ext}_R^{\gg 0}(N,M^{+})$ and ${\rm Tor}_{\gg 0}^R(M,N)$, where $M^{+}$ denotes ${\rm Ext}_R^{d-\dim(M)}(M,\omega)$. This strengthens a result of Huneke and Jorgensen. Furthermore, we prove a similar result for Tate cohomologies under the additional condition that $R$ is Gorenstein., Comment: 15 pages, reviewed version, Journal: Algebras and Representation Theory

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an excellent Henselian Cohen-Macaulay local ring of finite representation type. If the AR-quiver of $A$ is known then by a result of Auslander and Reiten one can explicity compute $G(A)$ the Grothendieck group of finitely generated $A$-modules. If the AR-quiver is not known then in this paper we give estimates of $G(A)_\mathbb{Q} = G(A)\otimes_\mathbb{Z} \mathbb{Q}$ when $k = A/\mathfrak{m}$ is perfect. As an application we prove that if $A$ is an excellent equi-characteristic Henselian Gornstein local ring of positive even dimension with $\text{char} \ A/\mathfrak{m} \neq 2,3,5$ (and $A/\mathfrak{m}$ perfect) then $G(A)_\mathbb{Q} \cong \mathbb{Q}$.

We show that every integrally closed $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal $I$ in a commutative Noetherian local ring $(R,\mathfrak{m},k)$ has maximal complexity and curvature, i.e., $ {\rm cx}_R(I) = {\rm cx}_R(k) $ and $ {\rm curv}_R(I) = {\rm curv}_R(k) $. As a consequence, we characterize complete intersection local rings in terms of complexity, curvature and complete intersection dimension of such ideals. The analogous results on projective, injective and Gorenstein dimensions are known. However, we provide short proofs of these results as well., Comment: 7 pages, after revisions

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring of dimension $d \geq 2$ with infinite residue field and let $I$ be an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal. For $0 \leq i \leq d$ let $I_i$ be the $i^{th}$-coefficient ideal of $I$. Also let $\widetilde{I} = I_d$ denote the Ratliff-Rush closure of $A$. Let $G = G_I(A)$ be the associated graded ring of $I$. We show that if $\dim H^j_{G_+}(G)^\vee \leq j -1$ for $1 \leq j \leq i \leq d-1$ then $(I^n)_{d-i} = \widetilde{I^n}$ for all $n \geq 1$. In particular if $G$ is generalized Cohen-Macaulay then $(I^n)_1 = \widetilde{I^n}$ for all $n \geq 1$. As a consequence we get that if $A$ is an analytically unramified domain with $G$ generalized Cohen-Macaulay, then the $S_2$-ification of the Rees algebra $ A[It]$ is $\bigoplus_{n \geq 0} \widetilde{I^n}$.

In this paper we extend two results of Happel to commutative rings. Let $(A, \mathfrak{m})$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring. Let $D^b_f(mod \ A)$ be the bounded derived category of complexes of finitely generated modules over $A$ with finite length cohomology. We show $D^b_f( mod \ A)$ has Auslander-Reiten(AR)-triangles if and only if $A$ is regular. Let $K^b_f(proj \ A)$ be the homotopy category of finite complexes of finitely generated free $A$-modules with finite length cohomology. We show that if $A$ is complete and if $A$ is Gorenstein then $K^b_f( proj \ A)$ has AR triangles. Conversely we show that if $K^b_f(proj \ A)$ has AR triangles and if $A$ is Cohen-Macaulay or if $\dim A = 1$ then $A$ is Gorenstein.

Let $A=Q/(f)$ where $(Q,\mathfrak{n})$ be a complete regular local ring of dimension $d+1$, $f\in \mathfrak{n}^i\setminus\mathfrak{n}^{i+1}$ for some $i\geq 2$ and $M$ an MCM $A-$module with $e(M)=\mu(M)i(M)+1$ then we prove that depth $G(M)\geq d-1$. If $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ is a complete hypersurface ring of dimension $d$ with infinite residue field and $e(A)=3$, let $M$ be an MCM $A$-module with $\mu(M)=2$ or $3$ then we prove that depth $G(M)\geq d-\mu(M)+1$. Our paper is the first systematic study of depth of associated graded modules of MCM modules over hypersurface rings., Comment: This paper consists of part of our paper arXiv:2106.13758.

Let $A$ be a Dedekind domain of characteristic zero such that its localization at every maximal ideal has mixed characteristic with finite residue field. Let $R=A[X_1,\ldots, X_n]$ be a polynomial ring and $I=(a_1U_1, \ldots, a_c U_c)\subseteq R$ an ideal, where $a_j \in A$ (not necessarily units) and $U_j$'s are monomials in $X_1, \ldots, X_n$. We call such an ideal $I$ as a $\mathfrak{C}$-monomial ideal. Consider the standard multigrading on $R$. We produce a structure theorem for the multigraded components of the local cohomology modules $H^i_I(R)$ for $i \geq 0$. We further analyze the torsion part and the torsion-free part of these components. We show that if $A$ is a PID then each component can be written as a direct sum of its torsion part and torsion-free part. As a consequence, we obtain that their Bass numbers are finite., Comment: 20 pages

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an analytically unramified Cohen-Macaulay local ring and let $\mathfrak{a}$ be an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal in $A$. If $I$ is an ideal in $A$ then let $I^*$ be the integral closure of $I$ in $A$. Let $G_{\mathfrak{a}}(A)^* = \bigoplus_{n\geq 0 }(\mathfrak{a}^n)^*/(\mathfrak{a}^{n+1})^*$ be the associated graded ring of the integral closure filtration of $\mathfrak{a}$. Itoh conjectured that if $e_3^{\mathfrak{a}^*}(A) = 0$ and $A$ is Gorenstein then $G_{\mathfrak{a}}(A)^* $ is Cohen-Macaulay. In this paper we prove an important case of Itoh's conjecture: we show that if $A$ is Cohen-Macaulay and if $\mathfrak{a}$ is normal (i.e., $\mathfrak{a}^n$ is integrally closed for all $n \geq 1$) with $e_3^\mathfrak{a}(A) = 0$ then $G_\mathfrak{a}(A)$ is Cohen-Macaulay., Comment: This paper consists of part of the author's paper arXiv:0807.0471 . This was done due to advice of some of my colleagues. The other parts of arXiv:0807.0471 will be published later in a separate paper. In the revised version of this paper we have quite a few details and clarified a few points (especially with shifts of a graded module)

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a complete intersection with $k = A/\mathfrak{m}$ algebraically closed. Let CMS(A) be the stable category of maximal CM $A$-modules. For a large class of thick subcategories $\mathcal{S}$ of CMS(A) we show that there is a theory of support varieties for the Verdier quotient $\mathcal{T} = $ CMS(A)$/\mathcal{S}$. As an application we show that the analogous version of Auslander-Reiten conjecture, Murthys result, Avramov-Buchweitz result on symmetry of vanishing of cohomology holds for $\mathcal{T}$.

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Gorenstein local ring and let $CMS(A)$ be its stable category of maximal CM $A$-modules. Suppose $CMS(A) \cong CMS(B)$ as triangulated categories. Then we show (1) If $A$ is a complete intersection of codimension $c$ then so is $B$. (2) If $A, B$ are Henselian and not hypersurfaces then $\dim A = \dim B$. (3) If $A, B$ are Henselian and $A$ is an isolated singularity then so is $B$. We also give some applications of our results. It should be remarked that if $R,S$ are complete CM but not necessarily Gorenstein and if there is an triangle isomorphism between the singularity categories of $R$ and $S$ then it is possible that $\dim R - \dim S$ is odd, see M.~Kalck; Adv.

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a hypersurface ring with dimension $d$, and $M$ a MCM $A-$module with red$(M)\leq 2$ and $\mu(M)=2$ or $3$ then we have proved that depth $G(M)\geq d-\mu(M)+1$. If $e(A)=3$ and $\mu(M)=4$ then in this case we have proved that depth$G(M)\geq d-3$. Next we consider the case when $e(M)=\mu(M)i(M)+1$ and prove that depth $G(M)\geq d-1$. When $A = Q/(f)$ where $Q = k[[X_1,\cdots, X_{d+1}]]$ then we give estimates for $\depth G(M)$ in terms of a minimal presentation of $M$. Our paper is the first systematic study of depth of associated graded modules of MCM modules over hypersurface rings., Comment: Many typographical errors corrected and many details added

In this paper we study Cohen-Macaulay local rings of dimension $d$, multiplicity $e$ and second Hilbert coefficient $e_2$ in the case $e_2 = e_1 - e + 1$. Let $h = \mu(\mathfrak{m}) - d$. If $e_2 \neq 0$ then in our case we can prove that type $A \geq e - h -1$. If type $A = e - h -1$ then we show that the associated graded ring $G(A)$ is Cohen-Macaulay. In the next case when type $A = e - h$ we determine all possible Hilbert series of $A$. In this case we show that the Hilbert Series of $A$ completely determines depth $G(A)$., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1907.11502

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an abstract complete intersection and let $P$ be a prime ideal of $A$. In [1] Avramov proved that $A_P$ is an abstract complete intersection. In this paper we give an elementary proof of this result.

Let $(A, \m, k)$ be a Gorenstein local ring of dimension $ d\geq 1.$ Let $I$ be an ideal of $A$ with $\htt(I) \geq d-1.$ We prove that the numerical function \[ n \mapsto \ell(\ext_A^i(k, A/I^{n+1}))\] is given by a polynomial of degree $d-1 $ in the case when $ i \geq d+1 $ and $\curv(I^n) > 1$ for all $n \geq 1.$ We prove a similar result for the numerical function \[ n \mapsto \ell(\Tor_i^A(k, A/I^{n+1}))\] under the assumption that $A$ is a \CM ~ local ring. \noindent We note that there are many examples of ideals satisfying the condition $\curv(I^n) > 1,$ for all $ n \geq 1.$ We also consider more general functions $n \mapsto \ell(\Tor_i^A(M, A/I_n)$ for a filtration $\{I_n \}$ of ideals in $A.$ We prove similar results in the case when $M$ is a maximal \CM ~ $A$-module and $\{I_n=\overline{I^n} \}$ is the integral closure filtration, $I$ an $\m$-primary ideal in $A.$

Let $A = K[X_1,\ldots, X_d]$ and let $I$, $J$ be monomial ideals in $A$. Let $I_n(J) = (I^n \colon J^\infty)$ be the $n^{th}$ symbolic power of $I$ \wrt \ $J$. It is easy to see that the function $f^I_J(n) = e_0(I_n(J)/I^n)$ is of quasi-polynomial type, say of period $g$ and degree $c$. For $n \gg 0$ say \[ f^I_J(n) = a_c(n)n^c + a_{c-1}(n)n^{c-1} + \text{lower terms}, \] where for $i = 0, \ldots, c$, $a_i \colon \mathbb{N} \rt \mathbb{Z}$ are periodic functions of period $g$ and $a_c \neq 0$. In an earlier paper we (together with Herzog and Verma) proved that $\dim I_n(J)/I^n$ is constant for $n \gg 0$ and $a_c(-)$ is a constant. In this paper we prove that if $I$ is generated by some elements of the same degree and height $I \geq 2$ then $a_{c-1}(-)$ is also a constant.

In this paper we determine the possible Hilbert functions of a Cohen-Macaulay local ring of dimension $d$, multiplicity $e$ and first Hilbert coefficient $e_1$ in the case $e_1 = e + 2$.

Let $R=K[X_1,\ldots, X_n]$ where $K$ is a field of characteristic zero, and let $A_n(K)$ be the $n^{th}$ Weyl algebra over $K$. We give standard grading on $R$ and $A_n(K)$. Let $I$, $J$ be homogeneous ideals of $R$. Let $M = H^i_I(R)$ and $N = H^j_J(R)$ for some $i, j$. We show that $\Ext_{A_n(K)}^{\nu}(M,N)$ is concentrated in degree zero for all $\nu \geq 0$, i.e., $\Ext_{A_n(K)}^{\nu}(M,N)_l=0$ for $l \neq0$. This proves a conjecture stated in part I of this paper.

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an excellent normal domain of dimension two. We define an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal $I$ to be a $p_g$-ideal if the Rees algebra $A[It]$ is a Cohen-Macaulay normal domain. When $A$ contains an algebraically closed field $k \cong A/\mathfrak{m}$ then Okuma, Watanabe and Yoshida proved that $A$ has $p_g$-ideals and furthermore product of two $p_g$-ideals is a $p_g$ ideal. In this article we show that if $A$ is an excellent normal domain of dimension two containing a field $k \cong A/\mathfrak{m}$ of characteristic zero then also $A$ has $p_g$-ideals. Furthermore product of two $p_g$-ideals is $p_g$.
