Residual intersections and modules with Cohen-Macaulay Rees algebra

Commutative Algebra 2020-11-19 v3

Abstract

In this paper, we consider a finite, torsion-free module EE over a Gorenstein local ring. We provide sufficient conditions for EE to be of linear type and for the Rees algebra R(E)\mathcal{R}(E) of EE to be Cohen-Macaulay. Our results are obtained by constructing a generic Bourbaki II ideal of EE and exploiting properties of the residual intersections of II.
