Abstract
Let R be a commutative noetherian ring. Let be the quotient of the Grothendieck group of finitely generated R-modules by the subgroup generated by pseudo-zero modules. Suppose that the -vector space has finite dimension. Let (resp. ) be the convex cone in spanned by maximal Cohen–Macaulay R-modules (resp. maximal Cohen–Macaulay R-modules of rank r). We explore the interior, closure and boundary, and convex polyhedral subcones of . We provide various equivalent conditions for R to have only finitely many rank r maximal Cohen–Macaulay points in in terms of topological properties of . Finally, we consider maximal Cohen–Macaulay modules of rank one as elements of the divisor class group .
