A counterexample to the small Cohen–Macaulay module conjecture
Constructs a three-dimensional complete Noetherian normal local domain over ℂ with no nonzero finitely generated maximal Cohen–Macaulay module. A three-dimensional local domain essentially of finite type over ℂ has the same property, disproving the domain form of the small Cohen–Macaulay module conjecture.

A Complete Local Domain without a Small Cohen–Macaulay Module
Sep 23, 2026·paper.pdfLean
We construct a three-dimensional complete Noetherian normal local domain containing ℂ, with residue field ℂ, that has no nonzero finitely generated maximal Cohen–Macaulay module. This disproves the domain form of the small Cohen–Macaulay module conjecture.
