Abstract

Let \(R\) be a commutative ring and \(M\) an \(R\)-module. We develop a localization and local-global theory for \(C4\)-modules, \(C4^{\ast}\)-modules, strongly \(C4^{\ast}\)-modules, \(C4\)-hulls, and pseudo-continuous hulls over commutative rings. The problem is structural: these notions are defined through decompositions, summand conditions, and minimal extensions, while localization changes decomposition data, support, and hull minimality. We prove forward localization theorems for the \(C4\), \(C4^{\ast}\), and strongly \(C4^{\ast}\) conditions under exact lifting hypotheses formulated through decomposition lifting, morphism lifting, and submodule lifting. We also prove converse local-global theorems under descent and patching hypotheses, showing when primewise or maximal-local \(C4^{\ast}\) behavior implies global \(C4^{\ast}\) behavior. In addition, we establish obstruction results showing that no unrestricted local-global principle can hold. We compare the localization of a global \(C4\)-hull or pseudo-continuous hull with the hull formed after localization. We show that hull commutation requires both localization stability of the hull class and envelope-type axioms for hull minimality and uniqueness, and we prove conditional patching theorems for reconstructing global hulls from compatible local hulls. Our method is purely algebraic and support-theoretic, based on summand descent, patching of local witnesses, support control, and dimension-stratified transfer on \(\operatorname{Spec} R\). As applications, we show that for commutative artinian rings these properties are detected exactly on the local factors, and that for finitely generated torsion modules over a Dedekind domain they are detected exactly on the primary components, equivalently on the localizations at maximal ideals in the support.

Maximal tails,character fibres and induced modules for pullback Kumjian-Pask algebras

Let $f:\N^{k}\to\N^{\ell}$ be a surjective monoid homomorphism and let $Γ$ be a row-finite $\ell$-graph with no sources and finitely many vertices. We give an explicit graded isomorphism from the Kumjian--Pask algebra of the pullback $f^{*}Γ$ onto the tensor product of $\KP_{\K}(Γ)$ and the group algebra of the kernel of the group completion of $f$. When $Γ$ is strongly aperiodic, but need not be cofinal, every maximal tail $T$ and every maximal ideal $\mathfrak m$ of the kernel group algebra determine an explicit primitive ideal and primitive quotient. If, in addition, $\K$ is uncountable and algebraically closed, these ideals exhaust the primitive spectrum. We prove that the resulting parametrisation is a homeomorphism for the product of the maximal-tail and Zariski topologies. Each primitive ideal is realised as the annihilator of a simple module induced from the isotropy of a path which is cofinal in $T$, and the character fibres are algebraic tori. Two examples exhibit, respectively, a single character fibre and the non-Hausdorff gluing of two such fibres.

A classification of group gradings on incidence algebras over commutative rings

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with 1, $P$ a locally finite partially ordered set, and $G$ a group. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for an $R$-algebra isomorphism between the incidence algebra $I(P,R)$ and the group algebra $RG$. Then, for an indecomposable ring $R$, a finite poset $P$ and an arbitrary group $G$, we classify the $G$-gradings of $I(P,R)$ up to graded isomorphism. The classification rests on a complete set of primitive orthogonal homogeneous idempotents. The corner algebras are split group algebras of finite abelian subgroups of $G$, and the off-diagonal Peirce blocks are multiplicity-free sums of bimodules induced from characters of double coset stabilizers. Graded isomorphisms are shown to have a rigid form, and a grading is determined up to graded isomorphism by the poset of idempotents, the corner groups, the types of the atomic bimodules and the structure constants of their multiplication. The data which occur are characterized by polynomial conditions, and over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero only finitely many graded isomorphism classes share given partial invariants. An example shows that the structure constants cannot be omitted. Some previous results are extended and enhanced, while providing alternative proofs for some known facts.
