A Cohen-Macaulay module is a type of module over a ring that satisfies certain depth conditions, specifically that the depth of the module equals the Krull dimension of the ring. This property connects the structure of the module to the underlying ring, showing that modules with this property can behave well in terms of their homological properties and dimensions, which is crucial for understanding both depth and the characteristics of Cohen-Macaulay rings.
