Surjective-Buchsbaum modules over Cohen-Macaulay local rings (Q1346343)

In 1987 Goto proved that over regular local rings, there exist only finitely many isomorphism classes of indecomposable maximal Buchsbaum modules. In this paper we shall establish a structure theorem for maximal surjective Buchsbaum modules of finite injective dimension over Cohen- Macaulay local rings, that naturally improves Goto's result. The assumption on the injective dimension is crucial; it cannot be replaced with the finiteness of projective dimension. We shall construct, over certain Cohen-Macaulay local rings, infinitely many non-isomorphic indecomposable maximal surjective Buchsbaum modules of finite projective dimension.
