Abstract: We introduce classes of rings which are close to being Gorenstein. These rings arise naturally as specializations of rings of countable CM type. We study these rings in detail, and along the way generalize an old result of Teter which characterized Artinian rings which are Gorenstein rings modulo their socle.


Let \((R,m)\) be a Cohen-Macaulay ring and \(\{M_j\}_{j\in J}\) the complete list of isomorphism classes of indecomposable maximal Cohen-Macaulay \(R\)-modules. Let \(\Lambda\) be the set of annihilator ideals of modules of type \(\text{Ext}^i_R(M_j,M_k)\), for \(i\geq 1\). Suppose that \(J\) is countable. Let \(x\) be a system of parameters of \(R\) containing an element which is not in the union of the ideals of \(\Lambda\) others than \(m\). Then for any ideal \(I\subset R\) it holds \(m((x):((x):I))\subset (x,I)\). This is a condition of Gorenstein type, which is valid for local Cohen-Macaulay rings \((R,m,k)\) with \(k\) infinite and canonical module \(\omega\) such that \(m\subset \omega^*(\omega)=\{f(x):f\in \Hom(\omega,R), x\in \omega\}\), in particular for factors of Gorenstein local rings by their socles, which are described in some cases.
