$S/I$-freeness of $I/I^2$ vs $I/I^{(2)}$, where $I$ is a radical ideal of regular local ring $S$

Let $I$ be a radical ideal of a regular local ring $S$. Put $R:=S/I$. Let $I^{(n)}$ be the $n$-th symbolic power of $I$. It is well-known that $I^n \subseteq I^{(n)}$. Is it true that $I/I^2$ is $R$-...

$A \to B$ with $A$ regular imply that $B$ is CM

The answer to this question says the following: "The general statement is if $A \to B$ is finite and injective, and $A$ is noetherian and regular, then $B$ is CM if and only if $A \to B$ is flat. ...

On the definition of regular (non-noetherian, commutative) rings

All rings are commutative with unit. A ring $R$ is called regular if it satisfies (Reg) Every finitely generated ideal of $R$ has finite projective dimension. Clearly this gives the usual ...

A semigroup property related to von Neumann regularity

A very common and useful notion in rings is that of von Neumann regular elements: those elements $a\in R$ such that there exists $b\in R$ satisfying $aba=a$. As this is a property defined solely ...
