How to construct a ring with global dimension m and weak dimension n?

If $R$ is Noetherian then they are equal. For $n=0$ one can use the fact that any Boolean ring has weak dimension $0$ (any module is flat), but a free Boolean ring on $\aleph_n$ generators have global …

Why depth, dimension, etc?

A problem with the first question is that the definition of grade function in McAdam involves some ring-theoretic concepts. For example, I do not see how to express condition (iii) of Theorem 2.4 (abo …

In what degrees does Ext(S/(f),S) vanish?

It is not true, $Ext^1(S/(f), S)\neq 0$ as Ben pointed out. However, to prove what you want $Ext^m(S/I,S)\cong Ext^m(S/fI,S)(deg(f))$ for $m\geq 2$, just note that $$Ext^m(S/I,S) = Ext^{m-1}(I,S) $$ …

Differential graded structures on free resolution?

It is true if the projective dimension of $M$ over $A$ is at most $3$, and counter examples exist when the projective dimension is $4$. The first counter example was given in Lucho Avramov's paper " …

Extensions of torsion modules

Actually, it would be easier to look at the other end of the exact sequence. Namely, your map $f^*$ is trivial implies the map $g^*: Hom_S(T,Q) \to Hom_S(M,Q)$ is an isomorphism. Now, since $M$ is p …

Are any finitely generated reflexive module a 2nd syzygy?

Over a normal domain (in fact, you only need Gorenstein in codimension 1, being second syzygy and reflexive are equivalent). This is Theorem 3.6 of Evans-Griffith "Syzygies" book.

Betti sequence of finite dimensional commutative algebras

I will first show that the general answer is no (in fact one should expect the opposite even in the graded case) by the Pigeonhole principle. Then we shall construct some concrete examples via an old …

Commutative algebras with modules of small complexity

There are no other examples. This property is equivalent to $A$ being a hypersurface (see Avramov's note "Infinite Free Resolutions"). By Cohen Structure Theorem, an Artinian local hypersurface (which …

When are MCM ideals principal?

On question 1, for what rings all MCM ideals are principal, we can say quite a bit more if one knows that $R$ is parafactorial (that is, the Picard group of the punctured spectrum $Spec^o(R):=Spec(R)- …

Modules over a Gorenstein ring

Here is a proof which may not be the best but demonstrates some standard techniques: Since $R$ has finite inj. dim. one can replace $M$ by a high syzygy, so one can assume $M$ has full depth. Thus on …

Tor and projective dimension

Since your question is really about projective dimension of flat modules, it is worth noting the following result (see Raynaud-Gruson MR0308104, Cor 3.3.2 or Jensen MR0407091, Thm 5.8) which compleme …

When can one localize Ext?

Let $R\to S$ be a ring map such that $S$ is projective over $R$ (I am willing to assume $S=R[X_1,...,X_n]$). Let $M,N$ be finite $S$-modules. Let $P\in Spec R$ such that $M_P$ is $R_P$-flat. Under wha …

Serre's theorem about regularity and homological dimension

ADDED: There is an account written by Buchsbaum (see page 1 and 2 of number 23 here) which described in more details what they wrote in [1]. So the localization problem for regular rings was definitel …

Projective resolution of modules over rings which are regular in codimension n

Dear Liu, I like your updated question a lot. To make things easier to discuss, let me define the following properties for a Noetherian local ring $R$ and $n>0$: ($A_n$) every ideal with height le …

Generalizing miracle flatness (Matsumura 23.1) via finite Tor-dimension

Hi Bryden, I agree with Graham that it would be hard to have a generalization in the sense you want. As Graham pointed out you already have finite Tor-dimension if $A$ is regular. In general, finite …
