Abstract

We study H. Dao’s invariant \({\eta_c^R}\) of pairs of modules defined over a complete intersection ring R of codimension c having an isolated singularity. Our main result is that \({\eta_c^R}\) vanishes for all pairs of modules when R is a graded complete intersection ring of codimension c > 1 having an isolated singularity. A consequence of this result is that all pairs of modules over such a ring are c-Tor-rigid.
