About this title

Review

' ... a thorough, self-contained introduction to the homological and combinatorial aspects of the theory of Cohen–Macaulay rings ... very useful for graduate courses in algebra. As the only modern, broad account of the subject, it will be essential reading for specialists as well.' L'Enseignement Mathématique

'This book presents basic results in commutative algebra together with their applications in different special fields. It can be read immediately after an introductory text, but it brings you quickly to the main problems of the topic ... A lot of useful informations are packed also in the exercises which follow each section and in the notes which follow each chapter.' Zentralblatt für Mathematik

Book Description

This book meets the need for a thorough, self-contained introduction to the homological and combinatorial aspects of the theory of Cohen-Macaulay rings, Gorenstein rings, local cohomology, and canonical modules. Throughout each chapter the authors have supplied many examples and exercises which, combined with the expository style, will make the book very useful for graduate courses in algebra. As the only modern, broad account of the subject it will be essential reading for researchers in commutative algebra.
