We show that every integrally closed $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal $I$ in a commutative Noetherian local ring $(R,\mathfrak{m},k)$ has maximal complexity and curvature, i.e., $ {\rm cx}_R(I) = {\rm cx}_R(k) $ and $ {\rm curv}_R(I) = {\rm…

We study the first Hilbert coefficient (after the multiplicity) $e_1$ of a local ring $(A,\m). $ Under various circumstances, it is also called the {\bf Chern number} of the local ring $A.$ Starting from the work of D.G. Northcott in the…

Let $\frak a$, $\frak b$ be ideals of a commutative Noetherian ring $R$ and let $M$, $N$ be finite $R$-modules. The concept of an $\frak a$-filter grade of $\frak b$ on $M$ is introduced and several characterizations and properties of this…

Let $(R,\fm)$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring and let $M$ be an $R$-module which is a relative Cohen-Macaulay with respect to a proper ideal $\fa$ of $R$ and set $n:=\h_{M}\fa$. We prove that $\ind M<\infty$ if and only if…

In this paper, we explore a relationship between Hilbert functions and the irreducible decompositions of ideals in local rings. Applications are given to characterize the regularity, Gorensteinness, Cohen-Macaulayness and sequentially…

Let $\mathfrak{a}$ be an ideal of a local ring $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ with $c = \mathrm{cd}(\mathfrak{a},R)$ the cohomological dimension of $\mathfrak{a}$ in $R$. In the case that $c=\dim R$, we first give a bound for…

Let $\mathfrak{q}$ denote an ideal of a local ring $(A,\mathfrak{m})$. For a system of elements $\underline{a} = a_1,\ldots,a_t$ such that $a_i \in \mathfrak{q}^{c_i}, i = 1, \ldots,t,$ and $n \in \mathbb{Z}$ we investigate a subcomplex…

The aim of this paper is to extend the main result of C. Huneke and G. Lyubeznik in [Adv. Math. 210 (2007), 498--504] to the class of rings that are images of Cohen-Macaulay local rings. Namely, let $R$ be a local Noetherian domain of…

The purpose of this paper is to present a family of Cohen-Macaulay monomial ideals such that their integral closures have embedded components and hence are not Cohen-Macaulay.

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring and let $\fa$ be a proper ideal of $R$. A non-zero finitely generated $R$-module $M$ is called relative Cohen-Macaulay with respect to $\fa$ if there is precisely one non vanishing local…
