Associated primes and syzygies of linked modules (Q2011274)

As the authors mentioned in the abstract, they show that over a Gorenstein local ring \(R\), if a Cohen-Macaulay \(R\)-module \(M\) of grade \(g\) is linked to an \(R\)-module \(N\) by a Gorenstein ideal \({\mathfrak c}\) (\textit{ i.e.} \(R/{\mathfrak c}\) is a Gorenstein ring) such that \(\mathrm{Ass}_RM\) and \(\mathrm{Ass}_RN\) are disjoint, then \(M\otimes_RN\) is isomorphic to direct sum of copies of \(R/{\mathfrak a}\), where \(\mathfrak{a}\) is a Gorenstein ideal of grade \(g+1\). They also give a criterion for the depth of a local ring \((R,{\mathfrak m},k)\) in terms of the homological dimensions of the modules linked to the syzygies of the residue field \(k\). And as a result they charactrize a local ring \((R,{\mathfrak m},k)\) in terms of the homological dimensions of the modules linked to the syzygies of \(k\).
