Semidualizing modules and the divisor class group (Q2382945): Difference between revisions

From author's abstract: Among the finitely generated modules over a noetherian ring \(R\), the semidualizing modules have been singled out due to their particularly nice duality properties. When \(R\) is a normal domain, we exhibit a natural inclusion of the set of isomorphism classes of semidualizing \(R\)-modules into the divisor class group of \(R\). After a description of the basic properties of this inclusion, it is employed to investigate the structure of the set of isomorphism classes of semidualizing \(R\)-modules. In particular, this set is described completely for determinantal rings over normal domains.
