Multiplicity of $Ext^{d-t}(M,\omega_R)$, ($d=\dim R, t=\dim M$)
Let $R=\bigoplus_{i \geq 0} R_i$ be a Cohen-Macaulay graded ring ($R_0$ is a field and $R$ is generated by $R_1$) of dimension $d$ with canonical module $\omega_R$, and $M$ a graded Cohen-Macaulay $R$-...

ideal of maximal minors is cohen-macaulay?
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field.
Let $A$ be an $m \times n$ matrix with linear forms $a_{ij} \in k[x_1, \ldots, x_p]_1$ as entries. Let $I$ be the ideal generated by the maximal minors of $A$....

Does projective duality preserve arithmetic-Cohen-Macaulay-ness?
Let $V$ be a vector space over $\mathbb{C}$.
Suppose $X\subset \mathbb{P} V$ is an algebraic variety, and consider its projective dual variety $X^\vee \subset \mathbb{P} V^*$. If the coordinate ring $\...

A doubt from the paper "The diagonal subring and the Cohen-Macaulay property of a multigraded ring"
I am currently reading the paper "The diagonal subring and the Cohen-Macaulay property of a multigraded ring" by Eero Hyry. I have a doubt about the first part of Theorem 2.5. In the proof $(1)\iff ...

Maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules of type one
Does anybody know an example of a Noetherian local ring $(R,m)$ which admits a maximal Cohen-Macaulay module of type one, but the ring $R$ itself is not CM?
If $C$ is a maximal CM module then the ...

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 ...

When is the reduced subscheme of a Cohen-Macaulay scheme also Cohen-Macaulay?
Let $X$ be a Cohen-Macaulay scheme (I will be interested in the case when this is ${\rm Spec}(A/I)$ where $A$ is a polynomial ring over a field and $I$ is a homogeneous ideal). I would like to know ...

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'...

A Module with $Ext^i(M,R) = 0$ for all $i > 0$
Let $M$ be a finitely generated module over a noetherian local ring $R$. We can take our ring to be Cohen-Macaulay. Suppose $M$ satisfies the condition $Ext^i(M,R) = 0$ for all $i > 0$. We want to ...

Simple proof of that $k[X]^G$ Cohen-Macaualy ($G$ finite)?
Let $X$ be a (EDIT: non-singular, or even $\mathbf A^n$) algebraic variety over a field $k$ (alg. closed). Suppose $G$ is a finite group acting on $X$, $|G|\neq 0$ in $k$. Then $k[X]^G$ is Cohen-...

CM for primary ideal
Let $R$ be a regular local ring, $I$ a prime ideal and $J$ an $I$-primary ideal in $R$. Is it true that if $R/I$ is CM then also $R/J$ is CM?
This question is in some way the inverse of this one.

Normal Macaulayfications
Given any reduced excellent scheme $X$, there exists a Macaulayfication $\pi : Y \to X$. In other words, there exists a proper birational map $\pi$ from a Cohen-Macaulay scheme $Y$ to $X$. These ...

CM module is height-unmixed?
$A$ a Cohen-Macaulay ring (not necessarily local), $M$ a Cohen-Macaulay $A$-module. Then does it necessarily follow that $\mbox{ann}(M)$ is height-unmixed?

Maximal Cohen Macaulay modules over regular factor rings.
Hi,
my question is simple. Let (R,m) be a commutative regular local noetherian ring. Is it true that for every prime p \in Spec(R), the factor ring R/p has maximal cohen-macaulay R/p-module?
Best ...

Are schematic fixed-points of a Cohen-Macaulay scheme Cohen-Macaulay?
I'm not sure how long this iterative questions can go on, but let me try again. Let's say $X$ is a Cohen-Macaulay scheme with an action of $\mathbb{G}_m$ (i.e. if $X$ is affine, a grading on the ...

Irreducible components of quotients of Cohen-Macaulay rings of the "correct" dimension
Suppose $R$ is a Cohen-Macaulay ring. It is well known that if $I$ is an ideal of $R$ generated by $n$ elements, and $I$ has codimension $n$, then $R/I$ is also Cohen-Macaulay.
Now suppose that $I$ ...
