Let (R,m,k) be an excellent local ring of positive prime characteristic. We show that if Tor_1^R(R^+,k) = 0 then R is regular. This improves a result of Schoutens, in which the additional hypothesis that R was an isolated singularity was required for the proof.
We consider vanishing of Ext and Tor, especially over Artinian rings. In particular, we prove the Auslander-Reiten conjecture for all commutative local rings in which the cube of the maximal ideal is zero.
In this paper we exploit properties of Dao's eta-pairing as well as techniques of Huneke, Jorgensen, and Wiegand to study the vanishing of Tor_i(M,N) of finitely generated modules M, N over complete intersections. We prove vanishing of Tor_i(M, N) for all positive integers i under depth conditions on M, N, and their tensor product. Our arguments improve a result of Dao and establish a new connection between the vanishing of Tor and the depth of tensor products.
Let $(S,\mathfrak{m},k)$ and $(T,\mathfrak{n},k)$ be local rings, and let $R$ denote their fiber product over their common residue field $k$. Inspired by work of Naseh and Sather-Wagstaff, we explore consequences of vanishing of ${\rm Tor}^R_m(M,N)$ for various values of $m$, where $M$ and $N$ are finitely generated $R$-modules.
给定局部环$R$上有限生成模$M$和$N$,张量积$M\otimes_RN$通常具有非零挠率。实际上,张量积无挠的假设影响了所有$i\geq 1$的模$\Tor^R_i(M,N)$的结构和消失。进而,$\Tor^R_i(M,N)$的消失对模块$M$和$N$的深度属性施加限制。这些联系首次出现在Auslander的1961年论文“Modules over unramified正则局部环“中。我们将调查这些主题的文献,重点是在过去二十年的进展。
The long-standing Auslander and Reiten Conjecture states that a finitely generated module over a finite-dimensional algebra is projective if certain Ext-groups vanish. Several authors, including Avramov, Buchweitz, Iyengar, Jorgensen, Nasseh, Sather-Wagstaff, and Şega, have studied a possible counterpart of the conjecture, or question, for commutative rings in terms of vanishing of Tor. This has led to the notion of Tor-persistent rings. Our main result shows that the class of Tor-persistent local rings is closed under a number of standard procedures in ring theory.
Consider a non-trivial fiber product $R=S\times_kT$ of local rings $S$, $T$ with common residue field $k$. Given two finitely generate $R$-modules $M$ and $N$, we show that if $\operatorname{Tor}^R_i(M,N)=0=\operatorname{Tor}^R_{i+1}(M,N)$ for some $i\geq 5$, then $\operatorname{pd}_R(M)\leq 1$ or $\operatorname{pd}_R(N)\leq 1$. From this, we deduce several consequence, for instance, that $R$ satisfies the Auslander-Reiten Conjecture.
For finitely generated modules $M$ and $N$ over a Gorenstein local ring $R$, one has $depth M + depth N= depth(M\otimes N) +depth R$, i.e., the depth formula holds, if $M$ and $N$ are Tor-independent and Tate homology $\hat{Tor}_{i}^{R}(M,N)$ vanishes for all $i\in\mathbb{Z}$. We establish the same conclusion under weaker hypotheses: if $M$ and $N$ are $\mathcal{G}$-relative Tor-independent, then the vanishing of $\hat{Tor}_{i}^{R}(M,N)$ for all $i\le 0$ is enough for the depth formula to hold. We also analyze the depth of tensor products of modules and obtain a necessary condition for the dep…
We say an excellent local domain $(S,n)$ satisfies the vanishing conditions for maps of Tor, if for every $A\to R\to S$ with $A$ regular and $A\to R$ module-finite torsion-free extension, and every $A$-module $M$, the map $Tor^A_i(M, R)\to Tor_i^A(M, S)$ vanishes for every $i\geq 1$. Hochster-Huneke's conjecture (theorem in equal characteristic) thus states that regular rings satisfy such vanishing conditions. The main theorem of this paper shows that, in equal characteristic, rings that satisfy the vanishing conditions for maps of Tor are exactly derived splinters in the sense of Bhatt. In pa…
Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring which contains a regular sequence $ \underline{x} = x_1,\ldots,x_d \in \mathfrak{m} \smallsetminus \mathfrak{m}^2 $ such that $ \mathfrak{m}^3 \subseteq (\underline{x}) $. Let $ M $ be a finite $ R $-module with maximal complexity or curvature, e.g., $ M $ can be a nonzero direct summand of some syzygy module of the residue field $ R/\mathfrak{m} $. It is shown that the following are equivalent: (1) $R$ is Gorenstein, (2) $\mathrm{Ext}_R^{\gg 0}(M,R)=0$, and (3) $\mathrm{Tor}_{\gg 0}^R(M,ω) = 0$, where $ω$ denotes a canonical module…
We prove that each positive power of the maximal ideal of a commutative Noetherian local ring is Tor-rigid, and strongly-rigid. This gives new characterizations of regularity and, in particular, shows that such ideals satisfy the torsion condition of a long-standing conjecture of Huneke and Wiegand.
We prove a version of weakly functorial big Cohen-Macaulay algebras that suffices to establish Hochster-Huneke's vanishing conjecture for maps of Tor in mixed characteristic. As a corollary, we prove an analog of Boutot's theorem that direct summands of regular rings are pseudo-rational in mixed characteristic. Our proof uses perfectoid spaces and is inspired by the recent breakthroughs on the direct summand conjecture by André and Bhatt.
Huneke and Wiegand conjectured that, if $M$ is a finitely generated, non-free, torsion-free module with rank over a one-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local ring $R$, then the tensor product of $M$ with its algebraic dual has torsion. This conjecture, if $R$ is Gorenstein, is a special case of a celebrated conjecture of Auslander and Reiten on the vanishing of self extensions that stems from the representation theory of finite-dimensional algebras. If $R$ is a one-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay ring such that $R=S/(f)$ for some local ring $(S, \mathfrak{n})$, and a non zero-divisor $f \in \mathfrak{n}…
We show that a ring $R$ is regular if $Tor_{i}^{R}(R^{+},k) = 0$ for some $i\geq 1$ assuming further that $R$ is a $\mathbb{N}$-graded ring of dimension $2$ finitely generated over an equi-characteristic zero field $k$. This answers a question of Bhatt, Iyengar, and Ma. We use almost mathematics over $R^{+}$ to deduce properties of the noetherian ring $R$ and rational surface singularities. Moreover we show that $R^{+}$ in equi-characteristic zero is $m$-adically ideal(wise) separated, a condition which appears in the proof of local criterion for flatness. In dimension $2$ it is Ohm-Rush and i…
For finitely generated modules M and N over a complete intersection R, the vanishing of Tor_i^R(M,N) for all i> 0 gives a tight relationship among depth properties of M, N and their tensor product. Here we concentrate on the converse and show, under mild conditions, that the tensor product of M and N being torsion-free (or satisfying higher Serre conditions) forces vanishing of Tor. Special attention is paid to the case of tensor powers of a single module.
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…
