In this paper we study Cohen-Macaulay local rings of dimension $d$, multiplicity $e$ and second Hilbert coefficient $e_2$ in the case $e_2 = e_1 - e + 1$. Let $h = \mu(\mathfrak{m}) - d$. If $e_2 \neq 0$ then in our case we can prove that…

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 $(R, \frak m)$ be a local ring and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module. It is shown that if $M$ is relative Cohen-Macaulay with respect to an ideal $\frak a$ of $R$, then $\text{Ann}_R(H_{\mathfrak{a}}^{\text{cd}(\mathfrak{a},…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $\mathfrak{a}$ be an ideal of $R$. Suppose $M$ is a finitely generated $R$-module and $N$ is an Artinian $R$-module. We define the concept of filter coregular sequence to determine the infimum of…

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…

The main result of the paper states that for a graded ideal I in a polynomial ring R over a field of characteristic 0, the Hilbert functions of the local cohomology modules of R/I and of R/Gin(I) coincide if and only if R/I is sequentially…

We construct a local Cohen-Macaulay ring $R$ with a prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}\in\spec(R)$ such that $R$ satisfies the uniform Auslander condition (UAC), but the localization $R_{\mathfrak{p}}$ does not satisfy Auslander's condition (AC).…

Let $M$ be an $R$-module over a Noetherian ring $R$ and $\mathfrak{a}$ be an ideal of $R$ with $c={\rm cd}(\mathfrak{a},M)$. First, we prove that $M$ is finite $\mathfrak{a}$-relative Cohen-Macaulay if and only if ${\rm…

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…

Let $(A,\m)$ be a Noetherian local ring with infinite residue field and let $I$ be an ideal in $A$ and let $F(I) = \oplus_{n \geq 0}I^n/\m I^n$ be the fiber-cone of $I$. We prove certain relations among the Hilbert coefficients of $F(I)$…
