Let $I$ be an ideal generated by a system of parameters in an excellent Cohen-Macaulay local domain. We show that the associated graded ring $G^*(I)$ of the filtration $\{(I^n)^*: n\in \mathbb{N}\}$ is Cohen-Macaulay. We prove that if $R$…

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 $R$ be a Noetherian ring, $I$ and $J$ two ideals of $R$ and $t$ an integer. Let $S$ be the class of Artinian $R$-modules, or the class of all $R$-modules $N$ with $\dim_RN\leq k$, where $k$ is an integer. It is proved that $\inf\{i:…

In this paper, we obtain a generalization, in dimension $3$, of a theorem of David Rees about joint reductions of the bigraded filtration $\{ \overline{I^rJ^s}\}$ of complete ${\mathfrak m}$-primary ideals and vanishing of the second normal…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m},k)$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring. It is well-known that if $M$ is a finitely generated $R$-module of finite quasi-injective dimension, then $\operatorname{qid}_RM = \operatorname{depth} R$. In this paper, we…

Let $(R, \mathfrak m)$ be a commutative noetherian local ring. We investigate under which conditions an $R$-module $M$ is generated by an ideal $I$, i.e. there exists an epimorphism $I^{(\Lambda)} \twoheadrightarrow M$. If $M$ is uniserial,…

In the present paper we investigate a question stemming from a long-standing conjecture of Vasconcelos: given a generically a complete intersection perfect ideal I in a regular local ring R, is it true that if I/I^2 (or R/I^2) is…

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…

This paper studies Frobenius powers of parameter ideals in a commutative Noetherian local ring $R$ of prime characteristic $p$. For a given ideal $\fa$ of $R$, there is a power $Q$ of $p$, depending on $\fa$, such that the $Q$-th Frobenius…
