Abstract

A finitely generated module C over a noetherian ring R is semidualizing if Hom R ( C , C )≅ R and Ext i R ( C , C )=0 for all i ≥1. These modules arise in several contexts, for instance, in the study of divisors, in the study of local ring homomorphisms, and in representation theory. In 1974 Vasconcelos conjectured that a Cohen-Macaulay local ring admits only finitely many semidualizing modules up to isomorphism. We will describe the affirmative solution to this conjecture for any local ring (not necessarily Cohen-Macaulay). The proof uses a combination of techniques from commutative algebra, rational homotopy theory, and representation theory.
