Let $(R,m)$ be a Noetherian local ring of dimension $d$ and $K,Q$ be $m$-primary ideals in $R.$ In this paper we study the finiteness properties of the sets $\Lambda_i^K(R):=\{g_i^K(Q): Q$ is a parameter ideal of $R\},$ where $g_i^K(Q)$…

We survey some of the major results about normal Hilbert polynomials of ideals. We discuss a formula due to Lipman for complete ideals in regular local rings of dimension two, theorems of Huneke, Itoh, Huckaba, Marley and Rees in…

Let I be an m-primary ideal of a Noetherian local ring (R,m) of positive dimension. The coefficient $e_1(A)$ of the Hilbert polynomial of an I-admissible filtration A is called the Chern number of A. The Positivity Conjecture of Vasconcelos…

The first two Hilbert coefficients of a primary ideal play an important role in commutative algebra and in algebraic geometry. In this paper we give a complete algebraic structure of the Sally module of integrally closed ideals $I$ in a…

We settle the negativity conjecture of Vasconcelos for the Chern number of an ideal in certain unmixed quotients of regular local rings by explicit calculation of the Hilbert polynomials of all ideals generated by systems of parameters.

The Sally module of an ideal is an important tool to interplay between Hilbert coefficients and the properties of the associated graded ring. In this paper we give new insights on the structure of the Sally module. We apply these results…
