Dec 26, 2019 at 15:51 comment added Mohan If $M$ is not reflexive, this is false. As an example, take $M=A\oplus I$ where $A=k[x,y]$, $I=(x,y)$.
Dec 22, 2019 at 10:12 comment added Andrea Marino Eheheh as you guess, I found a flaw while I was writing the proof down. Hope I will manage to correct it!
Dec 17, 2019 at 22:27 comment added Kapil THe previous comment by me is missing a term. The first term of the complex should include $\{g\in\mathrm{Hom}(F_1,F_1)| d\circ g=9\}$. So it does not lead to a proof.
Dec 17, 2019 at 16:31 comment added Kapil Using a two-term free resolution $F_1\to F_0\to M$, we can write $\mathrm{End}_A(M)$ as the (middle) cohomology of a complex $\mathrm{Hom}(F_0,F_1)\to\mathrm{Hom}(F_0,F_0)\oplus\mathrm{Hom}(F_1,F_1)\to\mathrm{Hom}(F_1,F_0)$. This should lead to a proof since we know what the dual of this complex is.
Dec 16, 2019 at 16:00 comment added user149914 oh that would be wonderful...i think we have to define some sort of Trace map and show that it is non-degenerate
Dec 16, 2019 at 7:48 comment added Andrea Marino I think I found that generally finitely generated torsion free modules over a domain are self dual - which would imply the statement here. I'll post a proof later!
Dec 15, 2019 at 16:28 comment added user149914 I see ..so you are saying that every sheaf which is not locally free sheaf should work as a counterexample.
Dec 15, 2019 at 14:44 comment added Andrea Marino I found that if $M$ is dualisable, which turns to be equivalent to be finitely presented and projective, then you have that $Hom(M,N) \simeq M^* \otimes N$. this case, the dual of $End(M)\simeq M^* \otimes M $ is $M^{**} \otimes M \simeq M \otimes M^* \simeq End(M)$, still because of dualisability. In case of gorentein rings, in particular they are noetherian, so that if I remember correctly finitely generate implies finitely presented. So I think that to find a counterexample you should search for a fgen which is torsion free but not projective (not flat is enough).

Dec 14, 2019 at 20:16 comment added Jeremy Rickard You clearly don't mean "=", since the two sides of the equality are sets of functions with different domains and codomains. Could you clarify what you do mean?
Dec 14, 2019 at 20:15 comment added user149914 If M is free then this is true ..so i was wondering under what condition this is true for other modules?
Dec 14, 2019 at 20:11 comment added Andrea Marino What's the intuition behind this you suggest? What makes you suspect this?
