Gorenstein and Totally Reflexive Orders

Joshua Stangle

Abstract: In this paper we study orders over Cohen-Macaulay rings. We discuss desirable properties for these orders if they are to represent NCCRs of the base rings. While some definitions have been made, we discuss an alternate definition and the non-existence of examples. We then give necessary and sufficient conditions for an order to have certain desirable homological properties. We examine examples of rings satisfying these properties to prove that certain endormorphism rings over abelian quotient singularities have infinite global dimension.
