Tor and Ext vanishing results for commutative Artinian rings

Abstract

We give a negative answer to a question of Avramov, Buchweitz and Şega by constructing a commutative local finite-dimensional non-Gorenstein algebra $R$ with ${\mathrm{Ext}}_R^1(D(R),R)=0$; this question is related to the first Tachikawa conjecture. We also give a counterexample to a conjecture of Huneke, Şega and Vraciu on Tor vanishing over commutative finite-dimensional algebras. Finally, we construct a finite-dimensional commutative local self-injective algebra $R$ over ${\mathbb{F}}_2$ and an indecomposable non-projective $R$-module $M$ such that ${\mathrm{Ext}}_R^1(M,M)={\mathrm{Ext}}_R^2(M,M)=0$, related to the second Tachikawa conjecture and answering a question of Dao.
