Convergence of sequences of sets of associated primes

It is a well-known result of M. Brodmann that if is an ideal of a commutative Noetherian ring , then the set of associated primes of the -th power of is constant for all large . This paper is concerned with the following question: given a prime ideal of which is known to be in for all large integers , can one identify a term of the sequence beyond which will subsequently be an ever-present? This paper presents some results about convergence of sequences of sets of associated primes of graded components of finitely generated graded modules over a standard positively graded commutative Noetherian ring; those results are then applied to the above question.

Symbolic powers,Serre conditions and Cohen-Macaulay Rees algebras

Summary LetR be a Cohen-Macaulay ring andI an unmixed ideal of heightg which is generically a complete intersection and satisfiesI ⁽ⁿ⁾=Iⁿ for alln≥1. Under what conditions will the Rees algebra be Cohen-Macaulay or have good depth? A series of partial answers to this question is given, relating the Serre condition (S _r ) of the associated graded ring to the depth of the Rees algebra. A useful device in arguments of this nature is the canonical module of the Rees algebra. By making use of the technique of the fundamental divisor, it is shown that the canonical module has the expected form: ω _R[It] ≅(t(1−t) ^g−2).

On Burch's inequality and a reduction system of a filtration

Let be a multiplicative filtration of a local ring such that the Rees algebra is Noetherian. We recall Burch's inequality for and give an upper bound of the a-invariant of the associated graded ring using a reduction system of . Applying those results, we study the symbolic Rees algebra of certain ideals of dimension .

Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for the Cohen–Macaulayness of Blowup Algebras

In this paper we provide a complete characterization for when the Rees algebra and the associated graded ring of a perfect Gorenstein ideal of grade three are Cohen–Macaulay. We also treat the case of second analytic deviation one ideals satisfying some mild assumptions. In another set of results we give criteria for an ideal to be of linear type. Finally, we describe the equations defining the Rees algebras of certain Northcott ideals.     

Castelnuovo–Mumford Regularity and Gorensteinness of Fiber Cone

In this article, we study the Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity and Gorenstein properties of the fiber cone. We obtain upper bounds for the Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity of the fiber cone and obtain sufficient conditions for the regularity of the fiber cone to be equal to that of the Rees algebra. We obtain a formula for the canonical module of the fiber cone and use it to study the Gorenstein property of the fiber cone.

Rees Algebras of Modules

We study Rees algebras of modules within a fairly general framework.We introduce an approach through the notion of Bourbaki idealsthat allows the use of deformation theory. One can talk aboutthe (essentially unique) generic Bourbaki ideal I(E) of a moduleE which, in many situations, allows one to reduce the natureof the Rees algebra of E to that of its Bourbaki ideal I(E).Properties such as Cohen–Macaulayness, normality and beingof linear type are viewed from this perspective. The known numericalinvariants, such as the analytic spread, the reduction numberand the analytic deviation, of an ideal and its associated algebrasare considered in the case of modules. Corresponding notionsof complete intersection, almost complete intersection and equimultiplemodules are examined in some detail. Special consideration isgiven to certain modules which are fairly ubiquitous becauseinteresting vector bundles appear in this way. For these modulesone is able to estimate the reduction number and other invariantsin terms of the Buchsbaum–Rim multiplicity. 2000 MathematicsSubject Classification 13A30 (primary), 13H10, 13B21 (secondary)     

A Family of Graded Modules Associated to a Module

In this article we introduce a certain family of graded modules associated to a given module. These modules provide a natural extension of the notion of the associated graded ring of an ideal. We will investigate their properties. In particular, we will try to extend Ree' theorem on the associated graded ring of an ideal generated by a regular sequence to this context.     

A new kind of graded Lie algebra and parastatistical supersymmetry

In this paper the usualZ ₂ graded Lie algebra is generalized to a new form, which may be calledZ _2,2 graded Lie algebra. It is shown that there exist close connections between theZ _2,2 graded Lie algebra and parastatistics, so theZ _2,2 can be used to study and analyse various symmetries and supersymmetries of the paraparticle systems

On the Irreducible Components of the Form Ring and an Application to Intersection Cycles

Let A be a commutative Noetherian ring and I an ideal in A. We characterize algebraically when all the minimal primes of the associated graded ring G _I A contract to minimal primes of A/I. This, applied to intersection theory, means that there are no embedded distinguished varieties of intersection. The characterization is in terms of the analytic spread of certain localizations of I, the symbolic Rees algebra, and the normalization of the Rees algebra, and extends results of Huneke, Vasconcelos, and Martí-Farré.

Theorem 1.3 gives an upper bound on in a more general setting.
