$\DeclareMathOperator\Im{Im}\DeclareMathOperator\Ker{Ker}$Let $A$ be a discrete valuation ring with uniformizer $p$. Let $X, Y\in M_n(A)$ be square matrices such that $XY=YX$, and let $X^T$, $Y^T$ be ...

Let $R$ be a (commutative, associative, unital) ring, consider a homomorphism of some (finitely generated) free $R$-modules $E\stackrel{A}{\rightarrow}F$. Say $rank(F)=m$. The basic invariants of $A$ ...

Let $L$ be a locally free and finitely presented sheaf over a Noetherian scheme $X$ and $$ E\overset{\varphi}\to F \to L \to 0$$ a free presentation of $L$, where $E$ and $F$ have finite ranks $n$ and ...

(A somewhat technical question, but maybe it is well known.) Consider matrices over the ring $k[[x_1,\dots,x_n]]$, whose entries vanish at the origin (i.e. belong to the maximal ideal $\mathfrak{m}$...

Let $M$ be a module over a local ring $(R,m)$, everything is finitely generated/presented. The fitting ideals, $I_j(M)$ carry a lot of information about the module. When do they actually determine the ...
