Some Homological Properties of Modules over a Complete Intersection, with Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Commutative Algebra

Abstract

We survey some recent developments in understanding homological properties of finitely generated modules over a complete intersection. These properties mainly concern with vanishing patterns of Ext and Tor functors. We focus on applications to related areas and open questions.
