Hironaka decomposition over $\mathbb{Z}$?

Let $A=\bigoplus_{\ell\geq 0}A_\ell$ be a finitely generated graded $\mathbb{Z}$-algebra, with $A_0=\mathbb{Z}$, that is free as a $\mathbb{Z}$-module. If $k$ is a field, then $A\otimes k$ is a ...

Can the conductor of a local, unramified, Cohen-Macaulay domain ever be contained in a parameter ideal?

Let $(R, \mathfrak m)$ be a local Cohen-Macaulay domain which is analytically unramified (i.e. the $\mathfrak m$-adic completion of $R$ is reduced). Let $\bar R$ be the integral closure of $R$ in the ...

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-...

From exact triangles in the stable category of maximal Cohen--Macaulay modules to short exact sequences

Let $R$ be a local Gorenstein ring. Let $\underline{\text{CM}}(R)$ be the stable category of maximal Cohen--Macaulay modules, it is known to carry a triangulated structure. My question is: If $M\to N\...

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_{\...

When does a local Cohen–Macaulay ring admit a non-zero finitely generated maximal Cohen–Macaulay module of finite injective dimension?

Let $(R,\mathfrak m)$ be a local Cohen–Macaulay ring. Then, it is well- nown that there exists a non-zero finitely generated $R$-module of finite injective dimension; for instance $\operatorname{Hom}...

Upper bound for the minimum number of generators of the canonical module

Let $P=k[x_1...x_n]$ be a poly over a field. Suppose that $R=k[x_1...x_n]/I$. The canonical module of $R$ is $\omega_R=Ext^{n-dim(R)}_P(R,P)$. The question is that is there any upper bound for the ...
