Projective dimension

Is it true that if a module has a free resolution of length $d$ then any of its submodule has a free resolution of length $\leq d$?

Modules over a Gorenstein ring

I found this proof in Kaplansky's Commutative Rings: Induction on $\mbox{dim }A$. $\mbox{dim }A =0 \ $: Suppose $M\neq 0$. $\mbox{id}(M)=\mbox{depth}(A)=0$ so $M$ is injective, and hence is a direc …

Modules over a Gorenstein ring

$A$ a Gorenstein ring, $M\neq 0$ a finite $A$-module with finite injective dimension. According to Bruns, this implies that $M$ has finite projective dimension. How do I see that?

Does Ext commute with direct limit?

Is it true that if $\mbox{Ext}^{1}(P,M)=0$ for every finitely generated module $M$ then $P$ is projective? Or that if $\mbox{Ext}^{1}(M,Q)=0$ for every finitely generated module $M$ then $Q$ is inject …

Tor and projective dimension

Is it possible that $\mbox{Tor }^{r+1}(M,N)=0 \ \ \forall N$ yet $\mbox{proj. dim }M>r$? What I do know is that if $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ is Noetherian local and $M$ is finitely generated over $A$ then $ …

Are maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules supported everywhere?

Let $A$ be a local CM ring, and $M$ a maximal CM $A$-module. Is it true that $\operatorname{Supp}M=\operatorname{Spec}A$ ? This suspicion stems from such statements as: If $\omega$ is a canonical mo …

Why are canonical modules supported everywhere?

Let $A$ be a local CM ring, and $\omega$ a canonical module of $A$. Here are two properties of $\omega$ from Bruns & Herzog: $\omega_{\mathfrak{p}}$ is a canonical module of $A_{\mathfrak{p}}$ for e …

Free resolution dimension?

Is there a notion of a dimension associated to free resolutions like projective and injective dimensions associated to projective and injective resolutions? My guess is that it coincides with projecti …

Finite generatation of Ext

If $A$ is a Noetherian ring and $M$, $N$ are finitely generated modules over $A$, it is easy to see that $\mbox{Ext}_{A}(M,N)$ is finitely generated by taking a finitely generated projective resolutio …

Homological dimensions of module

$(A,\mathfrak{m})$ a Noetherian local ring, $M\neq 0$ a finitely generated $A$-module. As I understand, $\mbox{Ext }^{j}(A/\mathfrak{m}, M) = 0$ for $j<\mbox{depth }(M)$ and for $j>\mbox{inj. dim }(M) …

Depth and dimension

$A$ a Noetherian local ring, $M\neq 0$ a finite $A$-module. Then is it true that $\mbox{depth }M\le\mbox{depth }A$ just like $\mbox{dim }M\le\mbox{dim }A$? I don't see any relation between an $M$-sequ …

Projective & injective dimensions

$A$ a Noetherian local ring, $M\neq 0$ a finite $A$-module. I'm not quite sure about the relation between finiteness of projective and injective dimensions of $M$. Does the finiteness (or infiniteness …
