The Depth Formula for modules over quotients of Gorenstein rings

Commutative Algebra 2025-09-12 v1

Abstract

A foundational result by C. Huneke and V. Trivedi provides a formula for the depth of an ideal in terms of height, computed over a finite set of prime ideals, for rings that are homomorphic images of regular rings. Building on a result by the first author for local quotients of Cohen-Macaulay rings, this paper first gives a new proof and derives a similar formula for the finiteness dimension. Our main result then establishes the depth formula for non-local rings that are homomorphic images of a finite-dimensional Gorenstein ring.
