Some homological properties of amalgamated duplication of a ring along an ideal (Q378433)

Let \(R\) be a Noetherian ring and \(I\) an ideal of \(R\). The amalgamated duplication of \(R\) along \(I\) was introduced by \textit{M. D'Anna} and \textit{M. Fontana} [J. Algebra Appl. 6, No. 3, 443--459 (2007; Zbl 1126.13002)] as \(R\bowtie I:=\{(r,r+i)| r\in R , i\in I\}\subseteq R\times R\). In the paper under review the authors study the transfer of some homological properties from a ring \(R\) to the ring \(R\bowtie I\). They show that \(R\bowtie I\) is a von Neumann regular ring (resp., a perfect ring) if and only if so is \(R\). Also, they prove that \(\mathrm{gldim}(R\bowtie I) = 1\) if \(R\) is a domain and \(I\) is a principal ideal of \(R\).
