Abstract

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring of dimension $d$ and residue field $k$. Let $M$ be a maximal Cohen-Macaulay $A$-module. Let $e(M)$ be the multiplicity of $M$ and let $\mu(M)$ denote the number of its minimal generators. (1) Assume $A$ is not a complete intersection. If $\text{curv}(M)<\text{curv}(k)$ then we prove that under mild conditions, $e(M) \geq \mu(M)(1 + \text{curv}(k))$. (2) Assume $A$ is a complete intersection. If $\text{cx}(M)<\text{cx}(k)$ then we prove that $e(M) \geq 2\mu(M)$. In both cases we give examples which shows our results are sharp.

Bounds on Hilbert coefficients of Cohen-Macaulay modules having finite projective dimension

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Gorenstein local ring with $G(A)$ Cohen-Macaulay, and let $M$ be a Cohen-Macaulay $A$-module of finite projective dimension. In \cite{Quasipure}, the authors proved that $e_1(M)\geq \binom{c+1}{2}$, where $c=\operatorname{reg}G(A)$ and $e_i(M)$ is the $i$th Hilbert coefficient of $M$. We fir...

On the Stable category of maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over Gorenstein rings-II

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m}), (B,\mathfrak{n}) $ be Gorenstein local rings and let $\underline{CM}(A)$ be its stable category of finitely generated maximal Cohen-Macaulay $A$-modules. Suppose we have an equivalence $\Phi \colon\underline{CM}(A) \rightarrow \underline{CM}(A)$ as triangulated categories. We show (1) If $A, B$ a...

Derived functors and Hilbert polynomials over dominant Cohen-Macaulay rings

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring of dimension $d$, residue field $k$ and let $I$ be an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal. Assume $k$ is infinite. Let $N$ be a perfect $A$-module of dimension $t \geq 1$. Let $M$ be a MCM $A$-module. The function $n \rightarrow \ell(\text{Tor}^A_j(M, N/I^{n+1}N))$ is of p...

A linear bound for Fujita's freeness conjecture

Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective variety of dimension $n$, and let $L$ be an ample Cartier divisor. We prove that $K_X+mL$ is globally generated for every integer $m\geq\lceil C_0n\rceil$, where $C_0=1.77629\ldots$ is an explicit constant. In particular, $K_X+2nL$ is globally generated. We also prove that if $Z$...

Conductor-Discriminant Inequality for Tamely Ramified Cyclic Covers II

Let $K$ be a Henselian discretely valued field with excellent ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$ and algebraically closed residue field $k$. Let $X\to\mathbb{P}^1_K$ be a cyclic cover of degree $n$ prime to the characteristic of $k$. In joint work with Obus and Srinivasan (arXiv:2609.20553), we define an integer called t...

Skolem-Mahler-Lech in rings of positive characteristic: a shorter proof and a multi-dimensional generalization

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $f(a_1, \ldots, a_n) = \sum_{i=1}^k r_{i1}^{a_1} \cdots r_{in}^{a_n} m_i$ be a linear-exponential map over an $R$-module $M$. Dong and Shafrir (2026) showed that, when $\ell M = 0$ for some $\ell \in \mathbb{N}_{>0}$, the zero set of $f$ is the intersection of effectively computable $p...
