Generic Bourbaki ideals were introduced by Simis, Ulrich and Vasconcelos to study the Cohen-Macaulay property of Rees algebras of modules. In this article we prove that the same technique can sometimes be used to investigate the…

If I is an ideal in a Gorenstein ring S and S/I is Cohen-Macaulay, then the same is true for any linked ideal I'. However, such statements hold for residual intersections of higher codimension only under very restrictive hypotheses, not…

The acquisition of the defining equations of Rees algebras is a natural way to study these algebras and allows certain invariants and properties to be deduced. In this paper, we consider Rees algebras of codimension 2 perfect ideals of…

We provide the sufficient conditions for Rees algebras of modules to be Cohen-Macaulay, which has been proven in the case of Rees algebras of ideals by Johnson-Ulrich and Goto-Nakamura-Nishida. As it turns out the generalization from ideals…

Let I be an m-primary ideal of a Noetherian local ring (R,m). We consider the Gorenstein and complete intersection properties of the associated graded ring G(I) and the fiber cone F(I) of I as reflected in their defining ideals as…

We investigate when the Rees algebra of an integrally closed $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal in a regular local ring is a Cohen-Macaulay normal domain. While this property always holds in dimension two, it fails in general in higher…

Let (R,m,k) be a local ring. We establish a totally reflexive analogue of the New Intersection Theorem, provided for every totally reflexive R-module M, there is a big Cohen-Macaulay R-module B_M such that the socle of B_M\otimes_RM is…

In this paper we study graded Bourbaki ideals. It is a well-known fact that for torsionfree modules over Noetherian normal domains, Bourbaki sequences exist. We give criteria in terms of certain attached matrices for a homomorphism of…

The aim of this paper is to elucidate the relationship between the Gorenstein Rees algebra $\R(I):=\bigoplus_{i\ge 0}I^i$ of an ideal $I$ in a complete Noetherian local ring $A$ and the graded canonical module of the extended Rees algebra…

Let $R$ be an algebra essentially of finite type over a field $k$ and let $\Omega_k(R)$ be its module of K\"ahler differentials over $k$. If $R$ is a homogeneous complete intersection and $\mathrm{char}(k)=0$, we prove that $\Omega_k(R)$ is…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Gorenstein local ring and let $M$ be a finitely generated Cohen Macaulay $A$ module. Let $G(A)=\bigoplus_{n\geq 0}\mathfrak{m}^n/\mathfrak{m}^{n+1}$ be the associated graded ring of $A$ and $G(M)=\bigoplus_{n\geq…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an excellent equi-charateristic Gorenstein isolated singularity of dimension $d \geq 2$. Assume the residue field of $A$ is perfect. Let $I$ be any $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal. Let $G_I(A) = \bigoplus_{n \geq…

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…

An ideal I of a local Cohen-Macaulay ring R is called a cohomologically complete intersection if H^i_I(R) = 0 for all i \neq c = height(I). Here H^i_I(R), i \in Z denotes the local cohomology of R with respect to I. For instance, a…

It is shown that in a Cohen-Macaulay local ring, the generic linkage of an ideal $I$ is a deformation of the arbitrary linkage of $I$. This fact does not need $I$ to be a Cohen-Macaulay ideal. The same holds for $s$-residual intersections…

We show the Cohen-Macaulayness and describe the canonical module of residual intersections $J=\mathfrak{a}\colon_R I$ in a Cohen-Macaulay local ring $R$, under sliding depth type hypotheses. For this purpose, we construct and study, using a…

We introduce the notion of residual intersections of modules and prove their existence. We show that projective dimension one modules have Cohen-Macaulay residual intersections, namely they satisfy the relevant Artin-Nagata property. We…

We propose a concept of module liaison that extends Gorenstein liaison of ideals and provides an equivalence relation among unmixed modules over a commutative Gorenstein ring. Analyzing the resulting equivalence classes we show that several…
