I-Cohen Macaulay modules

Abstract: A finitely generated module

M

over a commutative Noetherian ring

R

is called an

I

-Cohen Macaulay module, if [ grade(I,M) + dim(M/IM)= dim(M), ] where

I

is a proper ideal of

R

. The aim of this paper is to study the structure of this class of modules. It is discovered that

I

-Cohen Macaulay modules enjoy many interesting properties which are analogous to those of Cohen Macaulay modules. Also, various characterizations of

I

-Cohen Macaulay modules are presented here.
