Abstract

Let R be a Cohen–Macaulay normal domain with a canonical module ωR. It is proved that if R admits a noncommutative crepant resolution (NCCR), then necessarily it is Q-Gorenstein. Writing S for a Zariski local canonical cover of R, a tight relationship between the existence of noncommutative (crepant) resolutions on R and S is given. A weaker notion of Gorenstein modification is developed, and a similar tight relationship is given. There are three applications: non-Gorenstein quotient singularities by connected reductive groups cannot admit an NCCR, the centre of any NCCR is log-terminal, and the Auslander–Esnault classification of two-dimensional CM-finite algebras can be deduced from Buchweitz–Greuel–Schreyer.
