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 $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Noetherian local ring, and let $M$ be a finitely generated $R$-module of dimension $d$. We prove that the set $\left\{\frac{l(M/IM)}{e(I, M)} \right\}_{\sqrt{I}=\mathfrak{m}}$ is bounded below by…

The long standing Lech's conjecture in commutative algebra states that for a flat local extension $(R,\mathfrak{m})\to (S,\mathfrak{n})$ of Noetherian local rings, we have an inequality on the Hilbert--Samuel multiplicities: $e(R)\leq…

Let $(R,m)\to (S,n)$ be a flat local extension of local rings. Lech conjectured in 1960 that there should be a general inequality $e(R)\leq e(S)$ on the Hilbert-Samuel multiplicities. This conjecture is known when the base ring $R$ has…

We introduce the notion of strongly Lech-independent ideals as a generalization of Lech-independent ideals defined by Lech and Hanes, and use this notion to derive inequalities on multiplicities of ideals. In particular we prove that if…

Let $(R,m)$ be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring of positive dimension $d$ and infinite residue field. Let $I$ be an m-primary ideal and $J$ a minimal reduction of $I$. In this paper, we show that $\widetilde{r_J(I)}\leq r_J(I)$. This answer to a…

We study conjectured generalizations of a formula of Lech which relates the multiplicity of a finite colength ideal in an equicharacteristic local ring to its colength, and prove one of these generalizations involving the multiplicity of…

Let $R$ be a $d$-dimensional Noetherian local ring with maximal ideal $m_R$. In this article, we give a generalization of the multiplicity $e(I)$ of an $m_R$-primary ideal $I$ of $R$ to a multiplicity $e(\mathcal I)$ of a graded family of…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Noetherian local ring such that $\widehat{R}$ is reduced. We prove that, when $\widehat{R}$ is $S_2$, if there exists a parameter ideal $Q\subseteq R$ such that $\bar{e}_1(Q)=0$, then $R$ is regular and…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring of dimension $d \geq 2$ with infinite residue field and let $I$ be an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal. For $0 \leq i \leq d$ let $I_i$ be the $i^{th}$-coefficient ideal of $I$. Also let…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a local Noetherian ring with residue field $k$. While much is known about the generating sets of reductions of ideals of $R$ if $k$ is infinite, the case in which $k$ is finite is less well understood. We…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian local ring and let $I$ be an ideal in $R$. The ideal $I$ is called balanced if the colon ideal $J:I$ is independent of the choice of the minimal reduction $J$ of $I$. Under suitable assumptions, Ulrich showed that…

Let $(R, \mathfrak m)$ be a Noetherian local ring and $I$ a $\mathfrak m$-primary ideal. In this paper, we study an inequality involving the number of generators, the Loewy length and the multiplicity of $I$. There is strong evidence that…

It is well known that in the Noetherian local ring with infinite residue field the reduction of $\mm$-primary ideal may be given in the form of a sufficiently general linear combination of its generators. In the paper we give a condition…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring of dimension $d\geq 3$ and $I$ an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal of $R$. Let $r_J(I)$ be the reduction number of $I$ with respect to a minimal reduction $J$ of $I$. Suppose depth $G(I)\geq…

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,…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring of dimension $d \geq 2$. An $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal $I$ is said to be a generalized Narita ideal if $e_i^I(A) = 0$ for $2 \leq i \leq d$. If $I$ is a generalized Narita ideal and…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $E$ a non-zero finitely generated $R$-module and $I$ an ideal of $R$. One purpose of this paper is to show that the sequences $\Ass_RE/ \widetilde{I_E^n}$ and $\Ass_R\widetilde{I^n…

Consider an infinite minimal free resolution of a module $M$ over a local Noetherian ring $R$. It was shown by Eisenbud that if $R$ is a complete intersection ring, then a minimal resolution is periodic iff it is bounded. Over more general…

If R is a local ring of dimension n, of a smooth complex variety, and if I is a zero dimensional ideal in R, then we prove that e(I)\geq n^n/lc(I)^n. Here e(I) is the Samuel multiplicity along I, and lc(I) is the log canonical threshold of…
