Affine semigroups and Cohen-Macaulay rings generated by monomials

Abstract: ABSTRACT. We give a criterion for an arbitrary ring generated by monomials to be Cohen-Macaulay in terms of certain numerical and topological properties of the additive semigroup generated by the exponents of the monomials. As a consequence, the Cohen-Macaulayness of such a ring is dependent upon the characteristic of the ground field.

“…In particular, we will show that for every simplicial complex Δ there exists a seminormal affine monoid M such that the only obstruction to the Cohen-Macaulay property of K[M] is exactly the simplicial homology of Δ. Choosing Δ as a triangulation of the real projective plane we obtain an example whose Cohen-Macaulay property depends on K. A similar result was proved by Trung and Hoa [18]. Our construction has the advantage of yielding a seminormal monoid M, and is geometrically very transparent.…”

“…In the first part of this article we consider the S 2 -fication and give some general results on the Cohen-Macaulayness of the canonical module, one of them extends and improves Proposition 2.5 of Goto (1982). We also extend and improve to the lattice case the above results from Goto et al (1976) and Trung and Hoa (1986), given shorter proofs.…”

“…In Goto et al (1976) and Trung and Hoa (1986) the authors consider a semigroup S ⊂ S which contains S such that we have an exact sequence: 0 −→ K S −→ K S −→ K S \S −→ 0 and dim K S \S ≤ dim K S − 2 K S is the S 2 -fication of K S . When K S is a Cohen-Macaulay ring, the support of K S\S coincide with the non-CohenMacaulay locus of K S .…”

“…If the canonical log structure on Spec k[P ] satisfies ( * ), it need not be Cohen-Macaulay nor normal. Consider the monoids (4, 0), (3, 1), (1, 3), (0, 4) ⊂ N 2 and 2, 3 ⊂ N. Information on when affine semigroup rings are Cohen-Macaulay and its dependence on the characteristic, can be found in [32,33]. Information on the local cohomology modules and dualizing complexes of affine semigroup rings is found in [34] and [35].…”
