ON THE VANISHING OF SELF EXTENSIONS OVER COHEN-MACAULAY LOCAL RINGS

摘要

The celebrated Auslander-Reiten Conjecture, on the vanishing of self extensions of a module, is one of the longstanding conjectures in ring theory. Although it is still open, there are several results in the literature that establish the conjecture over Gorenstein rings under certain conditions. The purpose of this article is to obtain extensions of such results over Cohen-Macaulay local rings that admit canonical modules. In particular, our main result recovers theorems of Araya, and Ono and Yoshino simultaneously.
