We give a partial characterization for when the difference $e(\mathfrak{q})-\ell_R(R/\mathfrak{q}^F)$ is independent of the choice of parameter ideal $\mathfrak{q}\subseteq R$ in an excellent equidimensional local ring $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ of…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Noetherian local ring of dimension $d>0$ and $I$ an $\mathcal{I}$-primary ideal of $A$. In this paper, we discuss a sufficient condition, for the Buchsbaumness of the local ring $A$ to be passed onto the…

This paper is concerned with the tight closure of an ideal $I$ in a commutative Noetherian ring $R$ of prime characteristic $p$. The formal definition requires, on the face of things, an infinite number of checks to determine whether or not…

Let $(R, \mathfrak{m}, k)$ be an excellent equidimensional local ring of characteristic $p>0$. The aim of this paper is to show that $\ell_R(\mathfrak{q}^*/\mathfrak{q})$ does not depend on the choice of parameter ideal $\mathfrak{q}$…

An equidimensional local ring is F-rational if and only if one ideal generated by a system of parameters is tightly closed. The question of whether a non-equidimensional local ring can have a tightly closed ideal generated by a system of…

This paper is concerned with existence of big tight closure test elements for a commutative Noetherian ring $R$ of prime characteristic $p$. Let $R^{\circ}$ denote the complement in $R$ of the union of the minimal prime ideals of $R$. A big…

Let $R$ be a (commutative Noetherian) local ring of prime characteristic that is $F$-pure. This paper studies a certain finite set ${\mathcal I}$ of radical ideals of $R$ that is naturally defined by the injective envelope of the simple…

Let $B$ be a reduced local (Noetherian) ring with maximal ideal $M$. Suppose that $B$ contains the rationals, $B/M$ is uncountable and $|B| = |B/M|$. Let the minimal prime ideals of $B$ be partitioned into $m \geq 1$ subcollections $C_1,…

We characterize the rings in which the equality $(\tau I:\tau)= I^*$ holds for every ideal $I \subset R$. Under certain assumptions, these rings must be either weakly F-regular or one-dimensional.

Let $(R, \mathfrak m)$ be a $d$-dimensional Noetherian local ring and $E$ a finitely generated $R$-submodule of a free module $R^p.$ In this work we introduce a multiplicity sequence $c_k(E), k=0,..., d+p-1$ for $E$ that generalize the…

The main aim of this article is to study the relation between $F$-injective singularity and the Frobenius closure of parameter ideals in Noetherian rings of positive characteristic. The paper consists of the following themes, including many…

Let $T$ be a local (Noetherian) ring and let $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ be prime ideals of $T$. We find sufficient conditions for there to exist a quasi-excellent local subring $B$ of $T$ satisfying the following conditions: (1) the completion of $B$…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Noetherian local ring of prime characteristic $p$ and $Q$ be an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary parameter ideal. We give criteria for F-rationality of $R$ using the tight Hilbert function $H^*_Q(n)=\ell(R/(Q^n)^*$ and the…

We associate to every equicharacteristic zero Noetherian local ring $R$ a faithfully flat ring extension which is an ultraproduct of rings of various prime characteristics, in a weakly functorial way. Since such ultraproducts carry…

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…

Let $\bar{I}$ denote the integral closure of an ideal in a Noetherian ring $R$. The main result of this paper asserts that $R$ is locally quasi-unmixed if and only if, the topologies defined by $\overline{I^n}$ and $I^{\langle n\rangle}$,…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an analytically un-ramified Noetherian local ring of dimension $d \geq 1$, $I$ a regular $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal of $A$ and let $\overline{I}$ be integral closure ideal of $I$. If $A$ is of characteristic $p >…

In 1960, D.G. Northcott proved that if $e_0(I)$ and $e_1(I)$ denote zeroth and first Hilbert-Samuel coefficients of an $\mathfrak m$-primary ideal $I$ in a Cohen-Macaulay local ring $(R,\mathfrak m)$, then $e_0(I)-e_1(I)\le \ell (R/I)$. In…

Let (R,m) be a local ring that contains a field. We show that, when R has equal characteristic p>0 and when H_m^i(R) has finite length for all i<dimR, then R is F-injective if and only if every ideal generated by a system of parameters is…

For a reduced Noetherian ring $R$ of characteristic $p > 0$, in this paper we discuss an extension of $R$ called its perfect closure $R^\infty$. This extension contains all $p^e$-th roots of elements of $R$, and is usually non-Noetherian.…
