Totally reflexive modules and Poincaré series (Q1632470)

In the paper under review, the authors study Cohen-Macaulay non-Gorenstein local rings $(R, \mathfrak{m}, k)$ admitting certain totally reflexive modules. As one of the main result they give a description of the Poincaré series of $k$ by using the Poincaré series of a non-zero totally reflexive module with minimal multiplicity. As the second main result, from a quasi-Gorenstein ideal satisfying some conditions, they construct a family of non-isomorphic indecomposable totally reflexive modules having an arbitrarily large minimal number of generators.
