Abstract

We discuss a class of modules, called test modules, that are, in principle, those detecting finite homological dimensions. The main purpose of this mote is to report the following result: if a commutative Noetherian local ring \((R, {\mathfrak m}, k)\) admits a test module (e.g., the residue field k) of finite Gorenstein dimension, then R is Gorenstein. This extended abstract is based on joint works with Celikbas et al. (Kyoto J Math 54:295–310, 2014) [9], Celikbas et al. (Homological dimensions of rigid modules) [10], and Celikbas and Wagstaff (Testing for the Gorenstein property) [11].
