The notion of linkage with respect to a semidualizing module is introduced. This
notion enables us to study the theory of linkage for modules in the Bass class with
respect to a semidualizing module. It is shown that over a Cohen–Macaulay local ring
with canonical module, every Cohen–Macaulay module of finite Gorenstein injective
dimension is linked with respect to the canonical module. For a linked module
with
respect to a semidualizing module, the connection between the Serre condition
on
and
the vanishing of certain local cohomology modules of its linked module is
discussed.
