On the Auslander-Buchsbaum -- Type Formulas 

 

ABSTRACT:  We give a unified proof of the Auslander-Buchsbaum formula, Auslander-Bridger formula, and the fact that the syzygy modules of a finite module over a commutative local ring do not have free summands in degrees beyond the codepth of the module. In addition, we give an interpretation of the above formulas in terms of relative homological algebra and provide conditions on relative theories, with relative projectives being a subclass of modules of G-dimension zero, which guarantee that a relative A-B formula is true.
