The purpose of this article is to provide a new characterization of Cohen-Macaulay local rings. As a consequence we deduce that a local (Noetherian) ring $R$ is Gorenstein if and only if every parameter ideal of $R$ is irreducible.

We provide a simplified proof of a theorem proved by Tavanfar and Shimomoto which states that a quasi-Gorenstein deformation of a $3$-dimensional quasi-Gorenstein local ring $(A,m,k)$ with $H^2_m(A)=k$ admits a small Cohen-Macaulay module.

This paper explores the structure of quasi-socle ideals I=Q:m^2 in a Gorenstein local ring A, where Q is a parameter ideal and m is the maximal ideal in A. The purpose is to answer the problem of when Q is a reduction of I and when the…

Let $R$ be a $d$-dimensional standard graded ring over an Artin local ring. Let $M$ be the unique maximal homogeneous ideal of $R.$ Let $h^i(R)_n$ denote the length of $H^i_M(R)_n$, i.e. the nth graded component of the ith local cohomology…

We survey some of the major results about normal Hilbert polynomials of ideals. We discuss a formula due to Lipman for complete ideals in regular local rings of dimension two, theorems of Huneke, Itoh, Huckaba, Marley and Rees in…

In this paper we study the isomorphism classes of local, Artinian, Gorenstein k-algebras A whose maximal ideal M satisfies dim_k(M^3/M^4)=1 by means of Macaulay's inverse system generalizing a recent result by J. Elias and M.E. Rossi. Then…

Let $(R,m)$ be a Noetherian local ring of dimension $d$ and $K,Q$ be $m$-primary ideals in $R.$ In this paper we study the finiteness properties of the sets $\Lambda_i^K(R):=\{g_i^K(Q): Q$ is a parameter ideal of $R\},$ where $g_i^K(Q)$…

Let $(R,\fm)$ be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring of positive dimension $d$ and infinite residue field. Let $I$ be an $\fm$-primary ideal of $R$ and $J$ be a minimal reduction of $I$. In this paper we show that if $\widetilde{I^k}=I^k$ and…

We answer a question of Celikbas, Dao, and Takahashi by establishing the following characterization of Gorenstein rings: a commutative noetherian local ring $(R,\mathfrak m)$ is Gorenstein if and only if it admits an integrally closed…

Given a Cohen-Macaulay local ring, the cohomology annihilator ideal and the annihilator of the stable category of maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules are two ideals closely related both with each other and the singularities of the ring. Kimura…

Let $K$ be a field, $R$ a standard graded $K$-algebra and $M$ be a finitely generated graded $R$-module. The rate of $M$, $rate_R(M)$, is a measure of the growth of the shifts in the minimal graded free resolution of $M$. In this paper, we…

Cohen Macaulay property of fiber cones of ideals is characterized in terms of its Hilbert series. Hilbert series of fiber cones of ideals with minimal mixed multiplicity is calculated. It is proved that the fiber cone of an m-primary ideal…

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…

Let $\mathfrak{a}$ be a proper ideal of a commutative noetherian ring $R$ and $d$ a positive integer. We answer Hartshorne's question on cofinite complexes completely in the cases $\mathrm{dim}R=d$ or $\mathrm{dim}R/\mathfrak{a}=d-1$ or…

We present short and elementary proofs of two theorems of Huckaba and Marley, while generalizing them at the same time to the case of a module. The theorems concern a characterization of the depth of the associated graded ring of a…
