Minimal injective resolutions of algebras with multiplicative bases (Q1125880)

A Noetherian ring \(A\) is called Gorenstein if \(_AA\) and \(A_A\) both have finite injective dimension in which case they are equal and their common value is denoted by \(\text{id}(A)\). If \(\text{id}(A)=n\), let \(0\to{}_AA\to E^0\to E^1\to\dots\to E^n\to 0\) be a minimal injective resolution for \(_AA\), where \(A\) is a Gorenstein ring, and call \(A\) Auslander-Gorenstein in case the flat dimension \(\text{fd}_A(E^i)\leq i\) for all \(0\leq i\leq n\). The purpose of this paper is to provide a new class of Auslander-Gorenstein rings \(A\) for which minimal injective resolutions of \(_AA\) can be described. The author considers certain finite semigroups which he calls Kupisch semigroups. Let \(S\) be a Kupisch semigroup, let \(R\) be a local PID with unique maximal ideal \(J\) and field of fractions \(F\) and let \(K\) be the residue field \(R/J\) of \(R\). Let \(\Lambda\), \(\Gamma\) and \(\Delta\) denote the semigroup rings \(R[S]\), \(F[S]\) and \(K[S]\), respectively. It is proved that \(\Lambda\) is Gorenstein if and only if both \(\Gamma\) and \(\Delta\) are Gorenstein, and in this case \(\text{id}(\Gamma)\leq\text{id}(\Delta)=\text{id}(\Lambda)-1\). Moreover, \(\Lambda\) is Auslander-Gorenstein if and only if both \(\Gamma\) and \(\Delta\) are Auslander-Gorenstein. The author also discusses the global dimension of these rings and shows that \(\text{gl.dim }\Lambda=\text{gl.dim }\Lambda+1\) and \(\text{gl.dim }\Gamma\leq\text{gl.dim }\Delta\). Piled modules play an important role. The last section contains examples of Kupisch semigroups and corresponding Auslander-Gorenstein rings \(\Lambda\).
