    Abstract

    Let A be a local ring that admits an exact pair x, y of zero divisors as defined by Henriques and ega. Assuming that this pair is orthogonal and that there exists a regular element on the A-module A/(x, y), we explicitly construct an infinite family of non-isomorphic indecomposable A-modules whose minimal free resolutions are periodic of period 2, and which are totally reflexive. In this setting, our construction provides an answer to a question by Christensen, Piepmeyer, Striuli, and Takahashi. Furthermore, we compute the module of homomorphisms between any two given modules from the infinite family mentioned above.
