Homology Of Artinian Modules Over Commutative Noetherian Rings, Micah J. Leamer
Homology Of Artinian Modules Over Commutative Noetherian Rings, Micah J. Leamer
Department of Mathematics: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
This work is primarily concerned with the study of artinian modules over commutative noetherian rings.
We start by showing that many of the properties of noetherian modules that make homological methods work seamlessly have analogous properties for artinian modules. We prove many of these properties using Matlis duality and a recent characterization of Matlis reflexive modules. Since Matlis reflexive modules are extensions of noetherian and artinian modules many of the properties that hold for artinian and noetherian modules naturally follow for Matlis reflexive modules and more generally for mini-max modules.
In the last chapter we prove that if the Betti …

Fan Cohomology And Equivariant Chow Rings Of Toric Varieties, Mu-Wan Huang
Department of Mathematics: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Toric varieties are varieties equipped with a torus action and constructed from cones and fans. In the joint work with Suanne Au and Mark E. Walker, we prove that the equivariant K-theory of an affine toric variety constructed from a cone can be identified with a group ring determined by the cone. When a toric variety X(Δ) is smooth, we interpret equivariant K-groups as presheaves on the associated fan space Δ. Relating the sheaf cohomology groups to equivariant K-groups via a spectral sequence, we provide another proof of a theorem of Vezzosi and Vistoli: equivariant K …
Fan Cohomology And Its Application To Equivariant K-Theory Of Toric Varieties, Suanne Au
Fan Cohomology And Its Application To Equivariant K-Theory Of Toric Varieties, Suanne Au
Department of Mathematics: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Mu-Wan Huang, Mark Walker and I established an explicit formula for the equivariant K-groups of affine toric varieties. We also recovered a result due to Vezzosi and Vistoli, which expresses the equivariant K-groups of a smooth toric variety in terms of the K-groups of its maximal open affine toric subvarieties. This dissertation investigates the situation when the toric variety X is neither affine nor smooth. In many cases, we compute the Čech cohomology groups of the presheaf KqT on X endowed with a topology. Using these calculations and Walker's Localization Theorem for equivariant K-theory, we give explicit formulas …
