In studying Nakayama's 1958 conjecture on rings of infinite dominant dimension, Auslander and Reiten proposed the following generalization: Let Lambda be an Artin algebra and M a Lambda-generator such that Ext^i_Lambda(M,M)=0 for all i \geq 1; then M is projective. This conjecture makes sense for any ring. We establish Auslander and Reiten's conjecture for excellent Cohen--Macaulay normal domains containing the rational numbers, and slightly more generally.
The Nakayama conjecture is one of the most important conjectures in ring theory. The Auslander-Reiten conjecture is closely related to it. The purpose of this note is to show that if the Auslander-Reiten conjecture holds in codimension one for a commutative Gorenstein ring $R$, then it holds for $R$.
Motivated by a result of Araya, we extend the Auslander-Reiten duality theorem to Cohen-Macaulay local rings. We also study the Auslander-Reiten conjecture, which is rooted in Nakayama's work on finite dimensional algebras. One of our results detects a certain condition that forces the conjecture to hold over local rings of positive depth.
This paper extends Auslander-Reiten duality in two directions. As an application, we obtain various criteria for freeness of modules over local rings in terms of vanishing of Ext modules, which recover a lot of known results on the Auslander-Reiten conjecture.
The Auslander-Reiten conjecture is a notorious open problem about the vanishing of Ext modules. In a Cohen-Macaulay complete local ring $R$ with a parameter ideal $Q$, the Auslander-Reiten conjecture holds for $R$ if and only if it holds for the residue ring $R/Q$. In the former part of this paper, we study the Auslander-Reiten conjecture for the ring $R/Q^\ell$ in connection with that for $R$, and prove the equivalence of them for the case where $R$ is Gorenstein and $\ell\le \dim R$. In the latter part, we generalize the result of the minimal multiplicity by J. Sally. Due to these two of our…
We give a principle in derived categories, which lies behind the classical Auslander-Reiten duality and its generalized version by Iyama and Wemyss. We apply the principle to show the validity of the Auslander-Reiten conjecture over a Gorenstein ring in the case where the ring has dimension larger than two and the singular locus has at most one dimension.
A celebrated conjecture of Auslander and Reiten claims that a finitely generated module $M$ that has no extensions with $M\oplus Λ$ over an Artin algebra $Λ$ must be projective. This conjecture is widely open in general, even for modules over commutative Noetherian local rings. Over such rings, we prove that a large class of ideals satisfy the extension condition proposed in the aforementioned conjecture of Auslander and Reiten. Along the way we obtain a new characterization of regularity in terms of the injective dimensions of certain ideals.
We consider the converse of the Butler, Auslander-Reiten's Theorem which is on the relations for Grothendieck groups. We show that a Gorenstein ring is of finite representation type if the Auslander-Reiten sequences generate the relations for Grothendieck groups. This gives an affirmative answer of the conjecture due to Auslander.
We recall several results in Auslander-Reiten theory for finite-dimensional algebras over fields and orders over complete local rings. Then we introduce $n$-cluster tilting subcategories and higher theory of almost split sequences and Auslander algebras there. Several examples are explained.
Auslander-Reiten theory is fundamental to study categories which appear in representation theory, for example, modules over artin algebras, Cohen-Macaulay modules over Cohen-Macaulay rings, lattices over orders, and coherent sheaves on projective curves. In these Auslander-Reiten theories, the number `2' is quite symbolic. For one thing, almost split sequences give minimal projective resolutions of simple functors of projective dimension `2'. For another, Cohen-Macaulay rings of Krull-dimension `2' provide us with one of the most beautiful situation in representation theory, which is closely r…
In this paper we explore consequences of the vanishing of ${\rm Ext}$ for finitely generated modules over a quasi-fiber product ring $R$; that is, $R$ is a local ring such that $R/(\underline x)$ is a non-trivial fiber product ring, for some regular sequence $\underline x$ of $R$. Equivalently, the maximal ideal of $R/(\underline x)$ decomposes as a direct sum of two nonzero ideals. Gorenstein quasi-fiber product rings are AB-rings and are Ext-bounded. We show in Theorem 3.31 that quasi-fiber product rings satisfy a sharpened form of the Auslander-Reiten Conjecture. We also make some observati…
Let $R$ be a complete local Gorenstein ring of dimension one, with maximal ideal m. We show that if $M$ is a Cohen-Macaulay $R$-module which begins an AR-sequence, then this sequence is produced by a particular endomorphism of m corresponding to a minimal prime ideal. We apply this result to determining the shape of some components of Auslander-Reiten quivers.
Let $\mathcal{O}$ be a complete discrete valuation ring, $\mathcal{K}$ its quotient field, and $A$ the symmetric Kronecker algebra over $\mathcal{O}$. We consider the full subcategory of the category of $A$-lattices whose objects are $A$-lattices $M$ such that $M\otimes_{\mathcal{O}}\mathcal{K}$ is projective $A\otimes_{\mathcal{O}}\mathcal{K}$-modules. In this paper, we study Heller lattices of indecomposable periodic modules over $A$. As a main result, we determine the shapes of stable Auslander--Reiten components containing Heller lattices of indecomposable periodic modules over $A$.
For a multidegree t in N^n, E.Miller has defined a category of positively t-determined modules over the polynomial ring S in n variables. We consider the Auslander-Reiten translate, Na_t, on the (derived) category of such modules. A monomial ideal I is positively t-determined if every generator x^a has a \leq t. We compute the multigraded cohomology- and betti spaces of Na_t^k(S/I) for every iterate k, and also the S-module structure of these cohomology modules. This comprehensively generalizes results of Hochster and Gräbe on local cohomology of Stanley-Reisner rings.
We establish new results on (co)homology vanishing and Ext-Tor dualities, and derive a number of freeness criteria for finite modules over Cohen-Macaulay local rings. In the main application, we settle the long-standing Auslander-Reiten conjecture for the class of Cohen-Macaulay Burch rings, among other results toward this and related problems, e.g., the Tachikawa and Huneke-Wiegand conjectures. We also derive results on further topics of interest such as Cohen-Macaulayness of tensor products and Tor-independence, and inspired by a paper of Huneke and Leuschke we obtain characterizations of wh…
Auslander conjectured that every Artin algebra satisfies a certain condition on vanishing of cohomology of finitely generated modules. The failure of this conjecture - by a 2003 counterexample due to Jorgensen and Sega - motivates the consideration of the class of rings that do satisfy Auslander's condition. We call them AC rings and show that an AC Artin algebra that is left-Gorenstein is also right-Gorenstein. Furthermore, the Auslander-Reiten Conjecture is proved for AC rings, and Auslander's G-dimension is shown to be functorial for AC rings that are commutative or have a dualizing complex…
We first generalize classical Auslander-Reiten duality for isolated singularities to cover singularities with a one-dimensional singular locus. We then define the notion of CT modules for non-isolated singularities and we show that these are intimately related to noncommutative crepant resolutions (NCCRs). When R has isolated singularities, CT modules recover the classical notion of cluster tilting modules but in general the two concepts differ. Then, wanting to generalize the notion of NCCRs to cover partial resolutions of Spec R, in the main body of this paper we introduce a theory of modify…
We study the converse of a theorem of Butler and Auslander-Reiten. We show that a Cohen-Macaulay local ring with an isolated singularity has only finitely many isomorphism classes of indecomposable summands of syzygies of Cohen-Macaulay modules if the Auslander-Reiten sequences generate the relation of the Grothendieck group of finitely generated modules. This extends a recent result of Hiramatsu, which gives an affirmative answer in the Gorenstein case to a conjecture of Auslander.
We introduce the finitistic extension degree of a ring and investigate rings for which it is finite. The Auslander-Reiten Conjecture is proved for rings of finite finitistic extension degree and these rings are also shown to have finite finitistic dimension. We apply these results to better understand a gen- eralized version of the Auslander-Reiten Condition for Gorenstein rings. We also record how the finitistic extension degree behaves with respect to many change of ring procedures that arise frequently in the commutative setting.
We study Auslander correspondence from the viewpoint of higher dimensional Auslander-Reiten theory on maximal orthogonal subcategories. We give homological characterizations of Auslander algebras, especially an answer to a question of M. Artin. They are also closely related to Auslander's representation dimension of artin algebras and Van den Bergh's non-commutative crepant resolutions of Gorenstein singularities.
We introduce syzygies for derived categories and study their properties. Using these, we prove the derived invariance of the following classes of artin algebras: (1) syzygy-finite algebras, (2) Igusa-Todorov algebras, (3) AC algebras, (4) algebras satisfying the finitistic Auslander conjecture, and (5) algebras satisfying the generalized Auslander-Reiten conjecture. In particular, Gorenstein CM-finite algebras are derived invariants.
