Retract rationality and Noether's problem

Abstract

Let K be any field and G be a finite group. We will prove that, if K is any field, p an odd prime number, and G is a non-abelian group of exponent p with |G|=p^3 or p^4 satisfying [K(ζ_p):K] <= 2, then K(G) is rational over K. We will also show that K(G) is retract rational if G belongs to a much larger class of p-groups. In particular, generic G-polynomials of G-Galois extensions exist for these groups.

Homological subsets of Spec

We recover some data of a module $M$ from the Ext-family $\{Ext^i_R(M,R)\}$. In this regard, we investigate homological subsets of $Spec(R)$, defined by the help of Ext-family. For example, we present a situation for which $\bigcup_{i=0}^\infty Ass(Ext^i_R(M,R))$ is infinite, thereby answering a question of Vasconcelos. We extend Grothendieck's calculation of $dim(Ext^g_R(M,R))$ and present some new situations to calculate $dim(Ext^\ast_R(M,R))$. Also, we compute support and the set of all associated prime ideals of the Ext-family in a serial of nontrivial cases.

On Stanley-Reisner Rings with Minimal Betti Numbers

We study simplicial complexes with a given number of vertices whose Stanley-Reisner ring has the minimal sum of Betti numbers. We prove that every full subcomplex of them is homotopy equivalent either to a point or to a sphere. Moreover, we prove that such kind of simplicial complexes coincide with those having minimal Taylor resolutions.

Local-Cohen-Macaulay DG-rings with unequal finitistic projective dimensions

For every pair of integers $d,n\geq1$, we construct a commutative noetherian local-Cohen-Macaulay DG-ring $A$ such that $\dim H^0(A)=d$, $\mathrm{amp}(A)=n$, $\mathrm{fpd}(A)=d-n$, and $\mathrm{FPD}(A)=d$. This gives a negative answer to the implication from local-Cohen-Macaulayness to equality of the two finitistic projective dimensions in a question of Bird, Shaul, Sridhar, and Williamson.
