Generalized fractions, Buchsbaum modules and generalized Cohen-Macaulay modules

Abstract

Let A be a (commutative Noetherian) local ring (with identity) having maximal ideal m and positive dimension. This note is concerned with, among other things, a complex of A -modules which was studied in [8] and which involves modules of generalized fractions derived from A and subsets of systems of parameters for A; in ([8], 3·5), the complex was shown to have connections with local cohomology. The complex is described as follows.
