In this paper, we establish the global analogues of some dualities and equivalences in local algebra by developing the theory of relative Cohen-Macaulay modules. Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring (not necessarily local) with identity and a a proper ideal of R. The notions of a-relative dualizing modules and a-relative big Cohen-Macaulay modules are introduced. With the help of a-relative dualizing modules, we establish the global analogue of the duality on the subcategory of Cohen-Macaulay modules in local algebra. Lastly, we investigate the behavior of the subcategory of a-relative Cohen-Macaulay modules and a-relative generalized Cohen-Macaulay modules under Foxby equivalence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
