nLab Gorenstein ring

Idea

A Gorenstein ring, $R$, is a commutative Noetherian local ring of finite injective dimension over itself. It follows then that its injective dimension is equal to $r$ = Krull dimension$(R)$, and that $Ext^{\ast}_R(k, R)$ is one dimensional as a $k$-vector space, where $k$ is the residue field of $R$.
