The vanishing of a higher codimension analog of Hochster's theta invariant
arXiv:1110.2442
Abstract
We study H. Dao's invariant of pairs of modules defined over a complete intersection ring of codimension having an isolated singularity. Our main result is that vanishes for all pairs of modules when is a {\em graded} complete intersection ring of codimension having an isolated singularity. A consequence of this result is that all pairs of modules over such a ring are -$\Tor$-rigid.
