On the depth of tensor products of modules

Abstract

The depth of tensor product of modules over a Gorenstein local ring is studied. For finitely generated modules M and N over a Gorenstein local ring R, under some assumptions on the vanishing of finite number of Tate and relative homology modules, the depth($M\otimes N$) is determined in terms of the depth(M) and depth(N).

The main theorem has been improved. Some new results have been added
