Let R be a commutative Noetherian d-dimensional complete equicharacterisitc regular local ring and let I be an ideal of R such that every minimal prime over I has height at most c. Let v=d - [(d-2)/c]-1 and v'=d - [(d-1)/c]. It has been…

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…

For an $m$-order $n-$dimensional Hilbert tensor (hypermatrix) $\mathcal{H}_n=(\mathcal{H}_{i_1i_2\cdots i_m})$, $$\mathcal{H}_{i_1i_2\cdots i_m}=\frac1{i_1+i_2+\cdots+i_m-m+1},\ i_1,\cdots, i_m=1,2,\cdots,n$$ its spectral radius is not…

We provide suitable conditions under which the asymptotic limit of the Hilbert-Samuel coefficients of the Frobenius powers of an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal exists in a Noetherian local ring $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ with prime characteristic…

An ideal of a local polynomial ring can be described by calculating a standard basis with respect to a local monomial ordering. However standard basis algorithms are not numerically stable. Instead we can describe the ideal numerically by…

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…

We explore the classical Lech's inequality relating the Hilbert--Samuel multiplicity and colength of an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal in a Noetherian local ring $(R,\mathfrak{m})$. We prove optimal versions of Lech's inequality for…

Let $h:\mathbb Z \to \mathbb Z_{\geq 0}$ be a nonzero function with $h(k)=0$ for $k\ll 0$. We define the Hilbert depth of $h$ by $\operatorname{hdepth}(h)=\max\{d\;:\; \sum_{j\leq k} (-1)^{k-j}\binom{d-j}{k-j}h(j)\geq 0\text{ for all }k\leq…

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…

We find a sufficient condition that $\H$ is not level based on a reduction number. In particular, we prove that a graded Artinian algebra of codimension 3 with Hilbert function $\H=(h_0,h_1,..., h_{d-1}>h_d=h_{d+1})$ cannot be level if…

We study the normalization of a monomial ideal, and show how to compute its Hilbert function (using Ehrhart polynomials) if the ideal is zero dimensional. A positive lower bound for the second coefficient of the Hilbert polynomial is shown.

Let $(R,\m)$ be an analytically unramified Cohen-Macaulay local ring of dimension 2 with infinite residue field and $\ov{I}$ be the integral closure of an ideal $I$ in $R$. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for…

For an ideal $I$ in a Noetherian ring $R$, the Fitting ideals $\textrm{Fitt}_j(I)$ are studied. We discuss the question of when $\textrm{Fitt}_j(I)=I$ or $\sqrt{\textrm{Fitt}_j(I)}=\sqrt{I}$ for some $j$. A classical case is the…

Let $M$ be a finitely generated module over a Noetherian local ring. This paper reports, for a given parameter ideal $Q$ for $M$, a criterion for the equality…

The set of the first Hilbert coefficients of parameter ideals relative to a module--its Chern coefficients--over a local Noetherian ring codes for considerable information about its structure--noteworthy properties such as that of…

A commutative noetherian local ring $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ is Gorenstein if and only if every parameter ideal of $R$ is irreducible. Although irreducible parameter ideals may exist in non-Gorenstein rings, Marley, Rogers, and Sakurai show there…

We establish an inequality involving colengths of the tight closure of ideals of systems of parameters in local rings with some mild conditions. As an application, we prove and refine a result by Goto and Nakamura, conjectured by Watanabe…

We present short and elementary proofs of two theorems of Huckaba and Marley, while generalizing them at the same time to the case of a module. The theorems concern a characterization of the depth of the associated graded ring of a…

It is shown that, for each $d \geq 4$, there exists an integral convex polytope $\mathcal{P}$ of dimension $d$ such that each of the coefficients of $n, n^{2}, \ldots, n^{d-2}$ of its Ehrhart polynomial $i(\mathcal{P},n)$ is negative.…
