Homological dimensions of rigid modules (Q1797231)

Let \((R,\mathfrak{m}, k)\) be a commutative local Noetherian ring. In the paper under review the authors give the following characterization of Gorenstein rings and regular rings. (1) \(R\) is Gorenstein if the Gorenstein injective dimension of the maximal ideal \(\mathfrak{m}\) is finite. (2) \(R\) is regular if a single \(\mathrm{Ext}^n_R(I,J)\) vanishes for some integrally closed \(\mathfrak{m}\)-primary ideals \(I\) and \(J\) of \(R\) and for some positive integer \(n\).
