On a class of Burch ideals and a conjecture of Huneke and Wiegand (Q2131119)

The authors introduce a new class of ideals and prove that each ideal from such class satisfies the torsion conclusion of the long-standing conjecture of Huneke and Wiegand. Such ideals are also Tor-rigid and can be used to test the finiteness of the projective dimension of modules via the vanishing of Tor. Moreover, they also study some relations between the class of Burch ideals and the such ideals, and construct several examples that corroborate their results.
