Numerical invariants which measure the Cohen Macaulay character of homomorphisms .: R Ä S of noetherian rings are introduced and studied. Comprehensive results are obtained for homomorphisms which are locally of finite flat dimension. They provide a point of view from which a variety of phenomena re

✦ Synopsis
For a large class of local homomorphisms : R ª S, including those of finite w Ž . G-dimension studied by Avramov and Foxby Proc. London Math. Soc. 75 1997 , x 241᎐270 , we assign a new numerical invariant called the quasi Cohen᎐Macaulay defect of , and a local homomorphism is called quasi Cohen᎐Macaulay if it is of finite G-dimension and has trivial quasi Cohen᎐Macaulay defect. We show among other things the following: ASCENT-DESCENT THEOREM. Let : R ª S be a local homomorphism. Ž .

Let R, m be a local Cohen᎐Macaulay ring whose m-adic completion R has an isolated singularity. We verify the following conjecture of F.-O. Schreyer: R has finite Cohen᎐Macaulay type if and only if R has finite Cohen᎐Macaulay type. We ww xx Ž . also show that the hypersurface k x , . . . , x r f has
If V is a faithful module for a finite group G over a field of characteristic p, then the ring of invariants need not be Cohen᎐Macaulay if p divides the order of G. In this article the cohomology of G is used to study the question of Cohen᎐Macaulayness of the invariant ring. One of the results is a
