<p>I was reading Auslander's talk at the 1962 ICM (beginning of Section 2 on this <a href="http://mathunion.org/ICM/ICM1962.1/" rel="nofollow">page</a>). At the end, the reference began:</p> <blockquote> <p>[1] M. Auslander, Modules over unramified regular local rings, Illinois. J. Math. 5 (1961), pp. 631–647. </p> <p>[2] M. Auslander, Modules over unramified regular local rings II, Illinois. J. Math. (To appear). </p> </blockquote> <p>The trouble is, I can not find [2] on MathSciNet or Google. I also looked at his Selected works without luck. Of course, there are many papers that are <a href="http://mathoverflow.net/questions/48477/never-appeared-forthcoming-papers" rel="nofollow">forthcoming but never materialized</a>, but this one even has the journal name attached to it! So</p> <blockquote> <p>What happened to Auslander paper [2] above? </p> </blockquote> <p>Note that [1] is an influential paper (still being quoted very recently). I enjoyed it a lot, and would really like to read [2].</p> <p>UPDATE: both Professor Buchsbaum and Professor Reiten have graciously replied to my query about this missing paper. Unfortunately, neither of them know what happened. </p>

<p>His "Selected Works" (AMS: <a href="http://www.ams.org/bookstore-getitem/item=CWORKS-10" rel="nofollow">http://www.ams.org/bookstore-getitem/item=CWORKS-10</a>) lists on Chapter II, two articles with the same title "Modules over unramified regular local rings"</p>
