Joint reductions and mixed Buchsbaum-Rim multiplicities of modules and a joint-reduction-number-zero theorem

We offer new definitions of joint reductions and mixed Buchsbaum-Rim multiplicity for certain collections of modules over a Noetherian local ring and illustrate their application to give two different proofs of a joint-reduction-number-zero theorem for integrally closed modules over two-dimensional regular local rings. We also relate the mixed Buchsbaum-Rim multiplicity of modules to the Euler-Poincar\'{e} characteristic of a natural Koszul complex and relate it to the mixed Buchsbaum-Rim multiplicity of ideals by generalising a lemma from intersection theory.
