Abstract

We show that any $d$-dimensional local ring $A$ with a dualizing complex, $\mathrm{depth} A=d-1$, and cyclic deficiency module $K^{d-1}(A)$ admits a maximal Cohen--Macaulay module. It is constructed as the unique nonzero cohomology module of the cone of the derived morphism induced by a surjection $A\to K^{d-1}(A)$. When $A$ is quasi-Gorenstein, this module is identified with the first syzygy of the canonical module $\omega_{A/xA}$, for any $x\in\operatorname{ann}_A K^{d-1}(A)$ that is regular on $A$. This recovers a theorem of Tavanfar and Shimomoto in the $3$-dimensional quasi-Gorenstein case with $K^2(A)\cong k$. We also give examples of section rings satisfying the hypotheses of our theorem.

A proof of the Freiman-Lev conjecture

Let $A=\{a_{0}, a_{1}, \ldots, a_{k-1}\}$ be a set of $k>7$ integers such that $0=a_{0}<a_1<\cdots<a_{k-1}$ and $\gcd(A)=1$. The set $2^{\wedge}A=\{a+b: a, b\in A, a\neq b\}$ is called the restricted sumsets of $A$. Freiman-Lev conjecture is a well-known conjecture which related to restricted sumsets [V.F. Lev, Restric...

A $k$-Dimensional Version of the Largest Intersection Problem

Suppose we have $r$ linearly independent hypersurfaces of degree $d$ in $\mathbb{P}^m$ (or $\mathbb{A}^m$) defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, whose intersection is at most $k$-dimensional. What is the largest possible number of $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational points in the intersection? We conjecture an exact formula...

Bounds on the second Hilbert coefficient and the depth of the associated graded ring

Let $(R, \mathfrak m)$ be a Noetherian local ring of dimension $d \geq 1$ with $\mathrm{depth} R \geq d-1,$ and let $I$ be an $\mathfrak m$-primary ideal. In this paper, we study bounds on the second Hilbert coefficient of $I$, denoted by $e_{2}(I)$. Under the assumption that the associated graded ring $G(I)$ has depth...

An approach to curves in abelian surfaces using Fourier--Mukai and quadratic forms

It was proven by Yoshioka that given a complex abelian surface $A$ of Picard rank $1$ whose primitive polarization is non-principal of type $(1,d)$, there is an isomorphism $\Psi:\mathrm{Hilb}^d_A\times\hat{A}\to M_{\hat{A}}(0,\hat{l},-1)$ where $\mathrm{Hilb}^d_A$ is the Hilbert scheme of lenth-$d$ subschemes of $A$ a...

Finite-coefficient Gersten injectivity fails in ramified mixed characteristic

Let $V$ be a complete discrete valuation ring of mixed characteristic $(0,3)$ in which $3$ is a uniformizer, and put $A=V[[x,y]]/(3+x^2-y^3)$. We construct a nonzero class $a\in K_2(A;\mathbf Z/3)$ whose restriction to the fraction field of $A$ is zero. Thus Gersten injectivity for algebraic $K$-theory with $\mathbf Z/...

Projectivity and flatness over the endomorphism ring of a finitely generated comodule.

Let $k$ be a commutative ring, $H$ a bialgebra over $k$, $A$ an $H$-algebra and $\mathcal C$ an $(H,A)$-coring, i.e a left $(H,A)$-bimodule which is an $A$-coring in a compatible way. Left $(H,A)$-bimodules and their deformations play a fundamental role in the study of the differential geometry of noncommutative manifo...
