We show that several properties of the theory of Rees algebras of modules become more transparent using the category of coherent functors rather than working directly with modules. In particular, we show that the Rees algebra is induced by…

This paper concerns a generalization of the Rees algebra of ideals due to Eisenbud, Huneke and Ulrich that works for any finitely generated module over a noetherian ring. Their definition is in terms of maps to free modules. We give an…

Let $E$ be a module of projective dimension one over $R=k[x_1,\ldots,x_d]$. If $E$ is presented by a matrix $\varphi$ with linear entries and the number of generators of $E$ is bounded locally up to codimension $d-1$, the Rees ring…

Given a local ring $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ and an ideal $\mathfrak{a}$ of positive height, we give a way of computing multiplier module ${J}(\omega_{{T}}, t^{-\lambda})$ for the extended Rees algebra ${T} =R[\mathfrak{a} t, t^{-1}]$ for an…

Given a reduced, local ring $R$ and an ideal $\mathfrak{a}$ of positive height, we give a decomposition of the test module, $\tau(\omega_T, t^{-\lambda})$, of the extended Rees algebra, $T =R[\mathfrak{a} t, t^{-1}]$. In particular, the…

Let $R=\k[x,y,z]$ and $I=(f_0,\dots,f_{n-1})$ be a height two perfect ideal which is almost linearly presented (that is, all but the last column have linear entries, but the last column has entries which are homogeneous of degree $2$).…

We deal with classes of prime ideals whose associated graded ring is isomorphic to the Rees algebra of the conormal module in order to describe the divisor class group of the Rees algebra and to examine the normality of the conormal module.

Let $V$ be a smooth scheme over a field $k$, and let $\{I_n, n\geq 0\}$ be a filtration of sheaves of ideals in $\calo_V$, such that $I_0=\calo_V$, and $I_s\cdot I_t\subset I_{s+t}$. In such case $\bigoplus I_n$ is called a Rees algebra. A…

Let $I \subset R = \mathbb{F}[x_1,x_2]$ be a height two ideal minimally generated by three homogeneous polynomials of the same degree $d$, where $\mathbb{F}$ is a field of characteristic zero. We use the theory of $D$-modules to deduce…

A new approach is established to computing the image of a rational map, whereby the use of approximation complexes is complemented with a detailed analysis of the torsion of the symmetric algebra in certain degrees. In the case the map is…

The aim of this work is to study the ring-theoretic properties of the diagonals of a Rees algebra, which from a geometric point of view are the homogeneous coordinate rings of embeddings of blow-ups of projective varieties along a…

Let I be an ideal of height two in R=k[x_0,x_1] generated by forms of the same degree, and let K be the ideal of defining equations of the Rees algebra of I. Suppose that the second largest column degree in the syzygy matrix of I is e. We…

The acquisition of the defining equations of Rees algebras is a natural way to study these algebras and allows certain invariants and properties to be deduced. In this paper, we consider Rees algebras of codimension 2 perfect ideals of…

Let $M$ be an $R$-module and $c$ the function from $M$ to the ideals of $R$ defined by $c(x) = \cap \lbrace I \colon I \text{is an ideal of} R \text{and} x \in IM \rbrace $. $M$ is said to be a content $R$-module if $x \in c(x)M $, for all…

In this paper, we study the $F$-rationality of the Rees algebra and the extended Rees algebra of $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideals in excellent local rings $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ of prime characteristic. We partially answer some conjectures and…

We describe the equations of the Rees algebra R(I) of an equimultiple ideal I of deviation one, provided that I has a reduction J generated by a regular sequence and such that the initial forms of the elements of this sequence, except…

Let $I$ be a perfect ideal of height two in $R=k[x_1, \ldots, x_d]$ and let $\varphi$ denote its Hilbert-Burch matrix. When $\varphi$ has linear entries, the algebraic structure of the Rees algebra $\mathcal{R}(I)$ is well-understood under…

The goal of this paper is to study the Rees algebra $\mathfrak{R}(I)$and the special fiber ring $\mathfrak{F}(I)$ for a family of ideals. Let $R=\mathbb{K}[x_1, \ldots, x_d]$ with $d\geq 4$ be a polynomial ring with homogeneous maximal…
