When localization commutes with arbitrary intersection of ideals

For a commutative ring with identity we know that in general localization does not commute with arbitrary intersection of ideals. I am looking for a paper that considers equivalent condition(s) for ...

On "minimal presentation" of local rings essentially of finite type over a field

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $0$. Let $(R,\mathfrak m)$ be a local ring essentially of finite type over $k$ (https://stacks.math.columbia.edu/tag/07DR). Then, $R$ is the homomorphic image of ...

When is it possible to localize a scheme along a closed subscheme?

If we have $Z\subset X$ a closed irreducible subscheme of an integral scheme $X$ (which you can take to have various further niceness properties if you want), one can take its generic point $\eta_Z$ ...

Some relative GW calculations

I have a question about the $\psi$ class in the following paper of Graber and Vakil: https://arxiv.org/abs/math/0309227 For $k,d\geq 2$, and a partition $d=d_1+\cdots+d_k$ of $d$ into positive ...

Different ways to construct the isogeny category of abelian varieties

Let $k$ be a field and let $\mathbf{AV}_{/k}$ be the category of abelian varieties over $k$. I'm interested in different definitions of the isogeny category of $\mathbf{AV}_{/k}$. Of course, the ...

Geometric meaning of localization at $(1+I)$?

Let $I\vartriangleleft A$ be an ideal of a commutative ring. Consider the submonoid $1+I\subset A$. What is the geometric interpretation of localization at this submonoid? How does it relate to the ...

Ample divisors on $T$-varieties

Question: how does one use a torus action to help decide whether a divisor or line bundle is ample? In more detail: I have a (normal, but usually rather singular) $T$-variety $X$, where $T$ is an ...

Abelian localisation for K theory?

Let $X$ be a scheme acted upon by $\mathbf{G}_m$ and $K(X)=K_0(\text{Perf}X)$ the Thomason-Trobaugh K theory. Is there a localisation theorem in this context? By this I mean something like $$\text{id}...

Geometric meaning of colocalization of modules?

Let $A$ be a commutative ring and $S\subset A$ a subset. A localization of $A$ at $S$ is defined as a ring morphsim $A\to A[S^{-1}]$ which is initial with respect to inverting $S$. Similarly, a ...

Commutative ring $R$ with no nontrivial idempotents, with a localization $R_r$ with infinitely many idempotents

I am looking for a commutative ring $R$ with $1$ such that $R$ has no idempotents and there exists $r\in R$ such that the localization ring $R_r$ has infinitely many idempotents.

Grothendieck Riemann Roch is abelian localisation on loop spaces

Abelian localisation says approximately that for a proper equivaraint map $f:X\to Y$ between schemes with a $\mathbf{G}_m$ action, the pushforward on cohomology $f_*\omega$ can be computed by the ...

Localization and containment in commutative ring

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $x, y $ be fixed elements of $R$ such that for each maximal ideal $m$ of $R$ we have $\langle \frac{x}{1_m}\rangle\subseteq\langle \frac{y}{1_m}\rangle$ ...

Special submodules over almost Dedekind domains

An integral domain $R$ is an almost Dedekind domain if for each maximal ideal $m$ of $R$, the ring $R_m$ is a Dedekind domain, where $R_m$ is the localization of $R$ at $m$. Question: Let $M$ ...

Localization of the pushforward in equivariant cohomology

I am reading Nekrasov's paper and in page 2 he considers the $G \times T^2$ equivariant cohomology of the (compactified) moduli space $\tilde{M_k}$ of $U(N)$ instantons on $\mathbb{C}^2$. Here $G$ ...

Analytic spread of localization of an ideal

Let $J$ be an ideal in a Noetherian local ring $(R,m)$. It is well known that for any prime ideal $p\in Spec(R)$, $l(J_p)\leq l(J)$, where $l(J)$ is the analytic spread of $J$. Q) Are there ...

Local cohomology commuting with fiber

Let $A$ be a nice commutative ring (say, $A=k[t_1,\ldots , t_n]$, ring of polynomials over an algebraically closed field $k$). Let $M$ be an $A[x]$-module, which is finitely generated as an $A$-...
