MULTIPLICITIES Mel Hochster Math 615: Lecture of January 7, 2015 In TOPICS IN COMMUTATIVE ALGEBRA: MULTIPLICITIES Mel Hochster Math 615: Lecture of January 7, 2015 In these lectures, all rings are assumed to be commutative, associative, with multiplica- tive identity denoted 1, which may be subscripted with the letter denoting the ring if precision is needed. Ring homomorphisms R ! S are assumed to map 1R 2 R to 1S 2 S. Modules M over a ring R are assumed to be unital, i.e., 1 · u = u for all u 2 M.A local ring is a Noetherian ring with a unique maximal ideal. The statement that (R; m) is local means that R is a local ring with maximal ideal m. The statement that (R; m; K) is local means that R is local with maximal ideal m and residue class field K = R=m. We use N ⊆ Z ⊆ Q ⊆ R ⊆ C for the nonnegative integers, the integers, the rational numbers, the real numbers, and the complex numbers, respectively. We give an overview of some the material that will be covered near the beginning of this set of lectures. We will study various notions of multiplicity that are currently objects of study within commutative algebra and the relationships among them. These include the usual Hilbert- Samuel notion, intersection multiplicities in the sense of Serre, and Hilbert-Kunz multi- plicities. Consider a local ring (R; m; K) of Krull dimension d and an m-primary ideal I. The condition on I simply means that for some N, mN ⊆ I ⊆ m. The function `(R=In), where ` is length, is called the Hilbert function of I, and agrees with a polynomial in n of degree d for all n 0. The polynomial is called the Hilbert polynomial. Its leading term will have e d the form d! n where e is a positive integer. The integer e is called the multiplicity of I. Note that e can be obtained as a limit: `(R=In) e = d! lim : n!1 nd The multiplicity of m is called the multiplicity of R. Under mild assumptions, a local ring of multiplicity 1 is regular. (One can also study `(M=InM) for any finitely generated R- module M. This is gives the Hilbert function and Hilbert polynomial of M: one difference is that in the module case, the degree of the Hilbert polynomial is the dimension of M.) These multiplicities can be obtained in other ways. Given a sequence of elements x = x1; : : : ; xd of ring R, and an R-module M, we shall define a homology theory called Koszul homology: the Koszul homology modules are denoted Hi(x; M). (They vanish if i < 0 or if i > d.) We won't give the definition at this point. Koszul homology has many uses, including the proofs of the fundamental facts about behavior of cohomology of coherent 1 2 sheaves on projective space. The connection with the multiplicities defined in the preceding paragraph is this. If x1; : : : ; xd is a system of parameters for the local ring R, which simply means that d = dim (R) and I = (x1; : : : ; xd)R is m-primary, then the multiplicity of the Pd i ideal I is the same as i=0(−1) ` Hi(x; R) , the alternating sum of the lengths of the Koszul homology modules, which do turn out to have finite length in this situation. Recently, other asymptotic invariants have been studied intensively, including several that are defined in prime characteristic p > 0 using the Frobenious endomorphism. If R is a ring of prime characteristic p > 0 the Frobenius endomorphism F : R ! R is defined n by F (r) = rp. Thus, its n th iterate F n sends r 7! rp . If q := pn and I is an ideal of R, the expanded ideal ISn, where Sn = R is thought of as an R-algebra using the structural homomorphism F n : R ! R, is denoted I[q] when thought of as an ideal of R. Said differently, I[q] is the ideal of R generated by all q th powers of elements of I. (It does not consist only of the q th powers of elements of I: typically, that set is not closed under multiplication by elements of R.) I[q] is generated by the q th powers of any set of generators of I. If m is a maximal ideal of the Noetherian ring R, and I is m-primary, by analogy with the Hilbert-Samuel function one is led to study the Hilbert-Kunz function [pn] `(R=I ). (This does not change if we replace R by Rm. When R is an N-graded ring L1 such that R0 = K, a field, we take m to be the homogeneous maximal ideal i=1 Ri unless otherwise specified.) Monsky proved the first substantial results about this function. It is asymptotic to cqd, where d is the Krull dimension of R and c is a positive real constant. More precisely, it is the sum of cqd and a function bounded in absolute value by a positive constant times qd−1, i.e., it is cqd + O(qd−1). Thus, `(R=I[q]) c = lim : q!1 qd Early examples suggested that c is rational, but this turns out not to be true in general. It is now believed that c can even be transcendental. c is called the Hilbert-Kunz multi- plicity of R with respect to I. If I = m, it is called the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity of R, and denoted eHK(R). It is very hard to calculate. E.g., for n ≥ 3, it is not known what its value is if R is the ring K[Xij : 1 ≤ i; j ≤ d]m=(D) where the numerator is a polynomial ring over a field K of positive characteristic generated by the entries of an n×n matrix Xij of indeterminates, and the denominator is the principal ideal generated by the determinant D of that matrix. (The maximal ideal we use is generated by the images of the Xij.) Again, under mild conditions, R is regular if and only if eHK(R) = 1. We shall also discuss a notion of intersection multiplicity for two varieties intersecting in an isolated point (in the Zariski topology). The simplest situation of some interest is when 2 2 2 one intersects V (y) and V (x − y ) in the plane K = AK over an algebraically closed field, which we assume for simplicity has characteristic different from 2. The coordinate ring of the plane is K[x; y]. For the purpose of this example it is perfectly fine to take K = C. There are several points of view from which one wants to think of the point of intersection 3 at the origin as having multiplicity 2. Note that if one replaces y by y − (think of as \small" scalar) there really are two points of intersection unless = 0. Another point of view is that the the curves V (y) and V (y − x2) share more than a point of intersection at the origin: they have a common tangent. Yet another way to think about this is that, in the theory of schemes, the scheme-theoretic intersection of V (I) and V (J) corresponds to V (I + J). When I + J is not radical, taking the radical discards useful information. The nilpotents correspond, heuristically, to the fact that there is more to the intersection than one perceives when only thinking about the underlying sets. In the example above, K[x; y]=(I + J) =∼ K[x; y]=(y; y − x2) =∼ K[x]=(x2) =∼ K + Kx, a two-dimensional vector space over K. The dimension of this vector space gives the intersection multiplicity. To exclude other points of intersection, one may work with the local ring K[x; y]m, where m is the maximal ideal corresponding to the point of intersection. In this example, m = (x; y). Quite generally, if f, g are irreducible in K[x; y] and do not generate the same ideal (i.e., neither is a scalar multiple of the other), then the intersection multiplicity of V (f) and V (g) at an isolated point of intersection is the vector space dimension of K[x; y]m=(f; g). Note ∼ that if R = K[x; y]m, then R=(f; g) = R=fR ⊗R R=gR. That is, intersection corresponds to tensor product. This notion of intersection multiplicity at an isolated point in the affine plane also gives, 2 a notion for irreducible curves in the projective plane PK , since the isolated point will be 2 contained in an affine open set isomorphic with AK , and we may study the intersection there. In fact, as in the affine case, we wind up working in the local ring at the point of intersection. With this notion of intersection multiplicity one gets Bezout's theorem: the number of points of intersection of V (F ) and V (G), counting multiplicities, where F; G are homogeneous irreducible polynomials in three variables, so that V (F );V (G) are irreducible 2 curves in PK , is deg(F ) deg(G). In higher dimension, the dimension of the tensor product is not the right notion to use. One needs to take account of higher Tors, and we shall use this fact to provide motivation for the study of Tor. Thus, in developing the material on multiplicities we shall introduce and use a number of powerful homological techniques, including derived functors such as Tor and Ext, and the theory of spectral sequences. Spectral sequences take some getting used to, but often provide the right way to look at a problem.

  • Reflexivity Revisited
    REFLEXIVITY REVISITED MOHSEN ASGHARZADEH ABSTRACT. We study some aspects of reflexive modules. For example, we search conditions for which reflexive modules are free or close to free modules. 1. INTRODUCTION In this note (R, m, k) is a commutative noetherian local ring and M is a finitely generated R- module, otherwise specializes. The notation stands for a general module. For simplicity, M the notation ∗ stands for HomR( , R). Then is called reflexive if the natural map ϕ : M M M M is bijection. Finitely generated projective modules are reflexive. In his seminal paper M→M∗∗ Kaplansky proved that projective modules (over local rings) are free. The local assumption is really important: there are a lot of interesting research papers (even books) on the freeness of projective modules over polynomial rings with coefficients from a field. In general, the class of reflexive modules is extremely big compared to the projective modules. As a generalization of Seshadri’s result, Serre observed over 2-dimensional regular local rings that finitely generated reflexive modules are free in 1958. This result has some applications: For instance, in the arithmetical property of Iwasawa algebras (see [45]). It seems freeness of reflexive modules is subtle even over very special rings. For example, in = k[X,Y] [29, Page 518] Lam says that the only obvious examples of reflexive modules over R : (X,Y)2 are the free modules Rn. Ramras posed the following: Problem 1.1. (See [19, Page 380]) When are finitely generated reflexive modules free? Over quasi-reduced rings, problem 1.1 was completely answered (see Proposition 4.22).

  • Integral Closures of Ideals and Rings Irena Swanson
    Integral closures of ideals and rings Irena Swanson ICTP, Trieste School on Local Rings and Local Study of Algebraic Varieties 31 May–4 June 2010 I assume some background from Atiyah–MacDonald [2] (especially the parts on Noetherian rings, primary decomposition of ideals, ring spectra, Hilbert’s Basis Theorem, completions). In the first lecture I will present the basics of integral closure with very few proofs; the proofs can be found either in Atiyah–MacDonald [2] or in Huneke–Swanson [13]. Much of the rest of the material can be found in Huneke–Swanson [13], but the lectures contain also more recent material. Table of contents: Section 1: Integral closure of rings and ideals 1 Section 2: Integral closure of rings 8 Section 3: Valuation rings, Krull rings, and Rees valuations 13 Section 4: Rees algebras and integral closure 19 Section 5: Computation of integral closure 24 Bibliography 28 1 Integral closure of rings and ideals (How it arises, monomial ideals and algebras) Integral closure of a ring in an overring is a generalization of the notion of the algebraic closure of a field in an overfield: Definition 1.1 Let R be a ring and S an R-algebra containing R. An element x S is ∈ said to be integral over R if there exists an integer n and elements r1,...,rn in R such that n n 1 x + r1x − + + rn 1x + rn =0. ··· − This equation is called an equation of integral dependence of x over R (of degree n). The set of all elements of S that are integral over R is called the integral closure of R in S.

  • The Depth Theory of Hopf Algebras and Smash Products
    The Depth Theory of Hopf Algebras and Smash Products Christopher J. Young Supervised by Dr. Lars Kadison November 25, 2016 To all my loved ones. Abstract The work done during this doctoral thesis involved advancing the theory of algebraic depth. Subfactor depth is a concept which had already existed for decades, but research papers discovered a purely algebraic analogue to the concept. The main uses of algebraic depth, which applies to a ring and subring pair, have been in Hopf-Galois theory, Hopf algebra actions and to some extent group theory. In this thesis we consider the application of algebraic depth to finite dimensional Hopf algebras, and smash products. This eventually leads to a striking discovery, a concept of module depth. Before explaining this work the thesis will go through many know results of depth up to this point historically. The most important result of the thesis: we discover a strong connection between the algebraic depth of a smash product A#H and the module depth of an H-module algebra A. In separate work L. Kadison discovered a connection between algebraic depth R ⊆ H for Hopf algebras and the module depth of V ∗, another important H-module algebra. The three concepts are related. Another important achievement of the work herein, we are able to calculate for the first time depth values of polynomial algebras, Taft algebras with certain subgroups and specific smash products of the Taft algebras. We also give a bound for the depth of R=I ⊆ H=I, which is extremely useful in general. Contents Background iii Contribution iii 1 The Depth Theory of a Ring Extension 1 1.1 Tensor Products .

  • On Graded Weakly Primary Ideals 1. Introduction
    Quasigroups and Related Systems 13 (2005), 185 − 191 On graded weakly primary ideals Shahabaddin Ebrahimi Atani Abstract Let G be an arbitrary monoid with identity e. Weakly prime ideals in a commutative ring with non-zero identity have been introduced and studied in [1]. Here we study the graded weakly primary ideals of a G-graded commutative ring. Various properties of graded weakly primary ideals are considered. For example, we show that an intersection of a family of graded weakly primary ideals such that their homogeneous components are not primary is graded weakly primary. 1. Introduction Weakly prime ideals in a commutative ring with non-zero identity have been introduced and studied by D. D. Anderson and E. Smith in [1]. Also, weakly primary ideals in a commutative ring with non-zero identity have been introduced and studied in [2]. Here we study the graded weakly pri- mary ideals of a G-graded commutative ring. In this paper we introduce the concepts of graded weakly primary ideals and the structures of their homogeneous components. A number of results concerning graded weakly primary ideals are given. In section 2, we introduce the concepts primary and weakly primary subgroups (resp. submodules) of homogeneous compo- nents of a G-graded commutative ring. Also, we rst show that if P is a graded weakly primary ideal of a G-graded commutative ring, then for each , either is a primary subgroup of or 2 . Next, we show that g ∈ G Pg Rg Pg = 0 if P and Q are graded weakly primary ideals such that Pg and Qh are not primary for all g, h ∈ G respectively, then Grad(P ) = Grad(Q) = Grad(0) and P + Q is a graded weakly primary ideal of G(R).

  • Weak Singularity in Graded Rings -.:: Natural Sciences Publishing
    Math. Sci. Lett. 4, No. 1, 51-53 (2015) 51 Mathematical Sciences Letters An International Journal http://dx.doi.org/10.12785/msl/040111 Weak Singularity in Graded Rings Gayatri Das and Helen K. Saikia∗ Department of Mathematics, Gauhati University, Guwahati, 781014 India Received: 27 Jun. 2014, Revised: 27 Sep. 2014, Accepted: 18 Oct. 2014 Published online: 1 Jan. 2015 Abstract: In this paper we introduce the notion of graded weak singular ideals of a graded ring R. It is shown that every graded weak singular ideal of R is graded singular. A graded weakly nil ring is graded weak singular. If R is a graded weak non-singular ring then R is graded semiprime. Every graded strongly prime ring R is graded weak non-singular and the same holds for every reduced graded ring. Keywords: Graded Ring, Graded Ideals, Graded Singular Ideals, Graded Semiprime Ring. 1 Introduction We now present the following definitions that are needed in the sequel. The notion of singularity plays a very important role in the study of algebraic structures. It was remarked by Definition 2.1: The graded singular ideal of R, denoted Miguel Ferrero and Edmund R. Puczylowski in [3] that by Z(R) is defined as studying properties of rings one can usually say more Z(R)= {x ∈ R|annR(x) ∩ H = 0 for every nonzero graded assuming that the considered rings are either singular or ideal H of R} = {x ∈ h(R)|xK = 0 for some graded nonsingular. Therefore, in the studies of rings, the essential ideal K} importance of the concept of singularity is remarkable.
