When is the canonical conductor minimal?

Commutative Algebra 2026-02-12 v2

Abstract

For a one dimensional analytically unramified Cohen-Macaulay local ring RR, the blowup algebra of the canonical ideal is a module finite birational extension. The conductor of this extension always contains the conductor of RR. We study the case when there is equality. This is the case where RR is far from being almost Gorenstein. We study this property within the landscape of numerical semigroup rings and local Arf rings.
