Cohen--Macaulayness versus the vanishing of the first Hilbert coefficient of parameter ideals

Commutative Algebra 2014-02-26 v1

Abstract

The conjecture of Wolmer Vasconcelos on the vanishing of the first Hilbert coefficient e1(Q)e_1(Q) is solved affirmatively, where QQ is a parameter ideal in a Noetherian local ring. Basic properties of the rings for which e1(Q)e_1(Q) vanishes are derived. The invariance of e1(Q)e_1(Q) for parameter ideals QQ and its relationship to Buchsbaum rings are studied.
