An alternative proof that Buchsbaum rings are generalized Cohen-Macaulay

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Noetherian local ring. $R$ is said to be Buchsbaum if, for each ideal $\mathfrak{q}$ generated by a full system of parameters, the number $\lambda_R(R/\mathfrak{q})-e_{\...

On Serre's condition and singular locus of determinantal rings

Let $R$ be a Commutative Noetherian ring. Let $\mathbf X:=[X_{ij}]_{1\le i \le r, 1 \le s \le t}$ be a matrix of indeterminates. Let $t>1$ be an integer, and $I_t(\mathbf X)$ denote the ideal in $...

Cohen-Macaulay coordinate rings defined by regular sequences

Consider the polynomial ring $R = k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ in $n$ indeterminates over an algebraically closed field $k$ (my relevant case is the complex numbers). Furthermore, consider an algebraic ...

Class group of hypersurfaces of finite representation type

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from $2,3$ and $5$, and let $R=k[[x,y,x_2,\dots,x_d]]/(f)$, where $f\in(x,y,x_2,\dots,x_d)^2$, $f\neq0$. By results of Buchweitz-...

On a reference for computing global spectrum of $A_n$-curve singularities, by H.Dao and E.Faber

This question is about chasing down a reference in a paper relating to non-commutative crepant resolutions and Cohen-Macaulay representation theory. Allow me to first give a minor introduction. Let $(...

Equivalence of definitions of Cohen-Macaulay type

I know that the Cohen-Macaulay type has these two definitions: Let $(R,\mathfrak{m},k)$ be a Cohen-Macaulay (noetherian) local ring and $M$ a finite $R$-module of depth $t$. The number $r(M) = \dim_k ...

Can one prove that toric varieties are Cohen-Macaulay by finding a regular sequence?

It's well-known that if $P$ is a finitely generated saturated submonoid of $\mathbb{Z}^n$, then the monoid algebra $k[P]$ is Cohen-Macaulay (at the maximal ideal $m = (P-0)k[P]$). However, all proofs ...

Base change of trace for Gorenstein or Cohen-Macaulay morphisms

This is basically a question of functoriality for base change of CM morphisms. EDIT: $\text{ }$ Brian Conrad sent me an email explaining the that this is indeed true, and follows from his book. I'...
