Degree functions of graded families of ideals

Commutative Algebra 2025-06-06 v1

Abstract

We express multiplicities and degree functions of graded families of mR\mathfrak{m}_R-primary ideals in an excellent normal local ring (R,mR)(R,\mathfrak{m}_R) as limits of intersection products. Moreover, in dimension 2, we show more refined results for divisorial filtrations. Finally, also in dimension 2, we give an example of a non-Noetherian divisorial filtration {In}n0\{I_n\}_{n\geqslant 0} of mR\mathfrak{m}_R-primary ideals such that the union of all the sets of Rees valuations of all the InI_n is a finite set, and another example of a (necessarily non-Noetherian) divisorial filtration of mR\mathfrak{m}_R-primary ideals such that the set of all Rees valuations is infinite.
