For an affine semigroup ring we construct the dualizing complex in terms of the semigroup and the homology of the face lattice of the polyhedral cone spanned by the semigroup. As a consequence there are characterizations of locally Cohen-Macaulay rings, Buchsbaum rings, and Cohen-Macaulay rings as well as Serre's condition 9 . INTRODUCTION Let S denote a finitely generated submonoid of the additive monoid N', n being a positive integer. By the affine semigroup ring I [S] of S over a field X let us denote the subring of X[xl, ... , xn] generated by all monomials xs, s E S. So one has, up to isomorphisms, a one-to-one correspondence between affine semigroup rings and affine varieties given parametrically by monomials. Now it is of some interest to characterize ring theoretic properties as CohenMacaulay, Gorenstein, etc., in terms of the semigroup S. A first breakthrough in this direction was done by Kempf et al. [KKMS] and Hochster [Hol] who showed that X[S] is a Cohen-Macaulay ring provided it is normal. Moreover, the normality of X[S] is described in terms of S (see [Hol]). Another particular case, if S is a simplicial semigroup, is treated by Goto, Suzuki, and Watanabe [GSW], resp. Stanley [St2], who showed that X[S] is a Cohen-Macaulay ring if it satisfies the 22 -condition of Serre. Note that normality is equivalent to 5Y2 and R1. Moreover, there is a description of the 5'-condition in terms of S (see Theorem 6.3). In general the 52-condition is not sufficient for I[S] to be a Cohen-Macaulay ring, as follows by examples in [Hol] resp. [TH, 1.2]. On the other side Grobner [G] posed the problem to classify Cohen-Macaulay affine semigroup rings. The solution of this problem was done by Hoa and Trung [TH]. Related to structural properties of graded rings is a technical tool of the duality theory. This is the dualizing complex introduced by Grothendieck (see [Ha]). In recent years it became a helpful tool in commutative algebra. In particular, its knowledge allows characterizations of Cohen-Macaulay rings, locally CohenMacaulay rings, Buchsbaum rings, Gorenstein rings, and the 5-conditions of Received by the editors December 18, 1988. 1980 Mathematics Subject Classification (1985 Revision).
