Combining this result and Kemper's result on depths of the ring of invariants under an action of a permutation group, we give an example of an F-rational, but non-F-regular ring of invariants under the action of a finite group. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=HashimotoMitsuyasu en-aut-sei=Hashimoto en-aut-mei=Mitsuyasu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Mathematics, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=F-rational kn-keyword=F-rational en-keyword=F-regular kn-keyword=F-regular en-keyword=Dual F-signature kn-keyword=Dual F-signature en-keyword=Frobenius limit kn-keyword=Frobenius limit END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=226 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=165 end-page=203 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2017 dt-pub=201706 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Canonical and n-canonical modules of a Noetherian algebra en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= We define canonical and -canonical modules of a module-finite algebra over a Noether commutative ring and study their basic properties. Using -canonical modules, we generalize a theorem on -syzygy by Araya and Iima which generalize a well-known theorem on syzygies by Evans and Griffith. Among others, we prove a noncommutative version of Aoyama’s theorem which states that a canonical module descends with respect to a flat local homomorphism. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=HashimotoMitsuyasu en-aut-sei=Hashimoto en-aut-mei=Mitsuyasu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Mathematics, Okayama University kn-affil= END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=305 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=144 end-page=164 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2017 dt-pub=20170110 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=The asymptotic behavior of Frobenius direct images of rings of invariants en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= We define the Frobenius limit of a module over a ring of prime characteristic to be the limit of the normalized Frobenius direct images in a certain Grothendieck group. When a finite group acts on a polynomial ring, we calculate this limit for all the modules over the twisted group algebra that are free over the polynomial ring; we also calculate the Frobenius limit for the restriction of these to the ring of invariants. As an application, we generalize the description of the generalized F-signature of a ring of invariants by the second author and Nakajima to the modular case. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=HashimotoMitsuyasu en-aut-sei=Hashimoto en-aut-mei=Mitsuyasu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=SymondsbPeter en-aut-sei=Symondsb en-aut-mei=Peter kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Mathematics, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=University of Manchester kn-affil= en-keyword=Frobenius direct image kn-keyword=Frobenius direct image en-keyword=Hilbert–Kunz multiplicity kn-keyword=Hilbert–Kunz multiplicity en-keyword=F-signature kn-keyword=F-signature en-keyword=Frobenius limit kn-keyword=Frobenius limit END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=45 cd-vols= no-issue=4 article-no= start-page=1509 end-page=1532 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2016 dt-pub=20161007 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Equivariant class group. II. Enriched descent theorem en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= We prove a version of Grothendieck’s descent theorem on an ‘enriched’ principal fiber bundle, a principal fiber bundle with an action of a larger group scheme.

I. Finite generation of the Picard and the class groups of an invariant subring en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The purpose of this paper is to define equivariant class group of a locally Krull scheme (that is, a scheme which is locally a prime spectrum of a Krull domain) with an action of a flat group scheme, study its basic properties, and apply it to prove the finite generation of the class group of an invariant subring. In particular, we prove the following. Let k be a field, G a smooth k-group scheme of finite type, and X a quasi-compact quasi-separated locally Krull G-scheme. Assume that there is a k-scheme Z of finite type and a dominant k -morphism Z→XZ→X. Let φ:X→Yφ:X→Y be a G -invariant morphism such that OY→(φ⁎OX)GOY→(φ⁎OX)G is an isomorphism. Then Y is locally Krull. If, moreover, Cl(X)Cl(X) is finitely generated, then Cl(G,X)Cl(G,X) and Cl(Y)Cl(Y) are also finitely generated, where Cl(G,X)Cl(G,X) is the equivariant class group. In fact, Cl(Y)Cl(Y) is a subquotient of Cl(G,X)Cl(G,X). For actions of connected group schemes on affine schemes, there are similar results of Magid and Waterhouse, but our result also holds for disconnected G. The proof depends on a similar result on (equivariant) Picard groups. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=HashimotoMitsuyasu en-aut-sei=Hashimoto en-aut-mei=Mitsuyasu kn-aut-name=橋本光靖 kn-aut-sei=橋本 kn-aut-mei=光靖 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Okayama University kn-affil=岡山大学大学院自然科学研究科 en-keyword=Invariant theory kn-keyword=Invariant theory en-keyword=Class group kn-keyword=Class group en-keyword=Picard group kn-keyword=Picard group en-keyword=Krull ring kn-keyword=Krull ring END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=40 cd-vols= no-issue=3 article-no= start-page=527 end-page=534 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2015 dt-pub=201509 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Classification of the Linearly Reductive Finite Subgroup Schemes of SL2 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=We classify the linearly reductive finite subgroup schemes G of SL2=SL(V) over an algebraically closed field k of positive characteristic, up to conjugation.
