On semidualizing modules of ladder determinantal rings (Q2417020)

Over a commutative local ring, semidualizing modules provide a common generalization of a dualizing (canonical) module and a free module of rank one. These modules were introduced by \textit{H.-B. Foxby} [Math. Scand. 31, 267--284 (1973; Zbl 0272.13009)]. In the paper under review, the authors identify all semidualizing modules over certain classes of ladder determinantal rings over a field \(k\). Specifically, given a ladder of variables \(Y\), they show that the ring \(k[Y]/I_t(Y)\) has only trivial semidualizing modules up to isomorphism in the following cases: \begin{itemize} \item[(1)] \(Y\) is a one-sided ladder, and \item[(2)] \(Y\) is a two-sided ladder with \(t=2\) and no coincidental inside corners. \end{itemize}
