We prove that if M is a finitely-generated module of dimension d with finite local cohomologies over a Noetherian local ring, and if the ith local cohomology module of M is zero unless i = d, i = 0, and i = r for some r strictly between 0…

The purpose of this paper is to give affirmative answers to two open questions as follows. Let $(R, \m)$ be a generalized Cohen-Macaulay Noetherian local ring. Both questions, the first question was raised by M. Rogers \cite {R} and the…

Students studying the Lasker-Noether theorem on primary decomposition of ideals may want to see an example of an ideal (necessarily in a non-Noetherian ring) which does not have a primary decomposition. The most well-known counterexample is…

The aim of this paper is to extend the main result of C. Huneke and G. Lyubeznik in [Adv. Math. 210 (2007), 498--504] to the class of rings that are images of Cohen-Macaulay local rings. Namely, let $R$ be a local Noetherian domain of…

Using vanishing of graded components of local cohomology modules of the Rees algebra of the normal filtration of an ideal, we give bounds on the normal reduction number. This helps to get necessary and sufficient conditions in…

The purpose of this article is to provide a new characterization of Cohen-Macaulay local rings. As a consequence we deduce that a local (Noetherian) ring $R$ is Gorenstein if and only if every parameter ideal of $R$ is irreducible.

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a $d$-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local ring, $I$ an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal of $R$ and $J=(x_1,...,x_d)$ a minimal reduction of $I$. We show that if $J_{d-1}=(x_1,...,x_{d-1})$ and…

We answer affirmatively a question of Srinivas--Trivedi: in a Noetherian local ring $(R,\mathfrak{m})$, if $I=(f_1,\dots,f_r)$ is an ideal generated by a filter-regular sequence and $J$ is an ideal such that $I+J$ is $\mathfrak{m}$-primary,…

In 1978 Lipman presented a proof of the existence of a desingularization for any excellent surface. The strategy of Lipman's proof is based on the finiteness of the number H(R) defined as the supreme of the second Hilbert-Samuel coefficient…

Let $M$ be a finitely generated module of dimention d over a Noetherian local ring (A,m) and I an m-primary ideal. Let be a pair of good I-filtrations F and F' of M. We show that the Hilbert coefficients e_i(F) are bounded below and above…

A theorem of Cohen from 1950 states that a commutative ring is Noetherian if and only if every prime ideal is finitely generated. In this note, we establish analogues of this result in tensor triangular geometry. In particular, for an…

In a Cohen-Macaulay local ring $(A, \mathfrak{m})$, we study the Hilbert function of an integrally closed $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal $I$ whose reduction number is three. With a mild assumption we give an inequality $\ell_A(A/I) \ge…

One of the many equivalent formulation of the K\"othe's conjecture is the assertion that there exists no ring which contains two nil right ideals whose sum is not nil. We discuss several consequences of an observation that if the Koethe…

The purpose of this paper is to investigate a relationship between the index of reducibility and the Chern coefficient for primary ideals. Therefore, the main result of this paper gives a characterization of a Cohen-Macaulay ring in terms…

It is shown that a module is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay if and only if the index of reducibility for distinguished parameter ideals are eventually constant with special value. As corollaries to the main theorem we given to characterize the…
