Generalized Gorenstein Arf rings

In this paper we study generalized Gorenstein Arf rings; a class of one-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local Arf rings that is strictly contained in the class of Gorenstein rings. We obtain new characterizations and examples of Arf rings, and give applications of our argument to numerical semigroup rings and certain idealizations. In particular, we generalize a beautiful result of Barucci and Fr\"oberg concerning Arf numerical semigroup rings.Comment: 15 page

On a generalization of Ulrich modules and its applications

We study a modified version of the classical Ulrich modules, which we call $c$-Ulrich. Unlike the traditional setting, $c$-Ulrich modules always exist. We prove that these modules retain many of the essential properties and applications observed in the literature. Additionally, we reveal their significance as obstructions to Cohen-Macaulay properties of tensor products. Leveraging this insight, we show the utility of these modules in testing the finiteness of homological dimensions across various scenarios.Comment: 22 page

Semidualizing Modules over Numerical Semigroup Rings

A semidualizing module is a generalization of Grothendieck's dualizing module. For a local Cohen-Macaulay ring $R$, the ring itself and its canonical module are always realized as (trivial) semidualizing modules. Reasonably, one might ponder the question; when do nontrivial examples exist? In this paper, we study this question in the realm of numerical semigroup rings and completely classify which of these rings with multiplicity at most 9 possess a nontrivial semidualizing module. Using this classification, we construct numerical semigroup rings in any multiplicity at least 9 possesses a nontrivial semidualizing module.Comment: 22 pages, comments welcom

SPINOR STRUCTURES ON FREE RESOLUTIONS OF CODIMENSION FOUR GORENSTEIN IDEALS

We analyze the structure of spinor coordinates on resolutions of Gorenstein ideals of codimension four. As an application we produce a family of such ideals with seven generators which are not specializations of the Kustin-Miller model

Associated graded rings and connected sums

summary:In 2012, Ananthnarayan, Avramov and Moore gave a new construction of Gorenstein rings from two Gorenstein local rings, called their connected sum. In this article, we investigate conditions on the associated graded ring of a Gorenstein Artin local ring $Q$, which force it to be a connected sum over its residue field. In particular, we recover some results regarding short, and stretched, Gorenstein Artin rings. Finally, using these decompositions, we obtain results about the rationality of the Poincaré series of $Q$

Weakly Arf rings

In this paper, we introduce and develop the theory of weakly Arf rings, which is a generalization of Arf rings, initially defined by J. Lipman in 1971. We provide characterizations of weakly Arf rings and study the relation between these rings, the Arf rings, and the strict closedness of rings. Furthermore, we give various examples of weakly Arf rings that come from idealizations, fiber products, determinantal rings, and invariant subrings.Comment: 57 page
