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 (R,m,k) be a local ring. We establish a totally reflexive analogue of the New Intersection Theorem, provided for every totally reflexive R-module M, there is a big Cohen-Macaulay R-module B_M such that the socle of B_M\otimes_RM is…

We recall a higher dimension analog of the classic plane de Jonqui\`eres transformations, as given by Hassanzadeh and Simis. Such a parameterization defines a birational map from $\mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ to a hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^{n}$, and…

Let $R$ be a polynomial ring over a field. We prove an upper bound for the multiplicity of $R/I$ when $I$ is a homogeneous ideal of the form $I=J+(F)$, where $J$ is a Cohen-Macaulay ideal and $F\notin J$. The bound is given in terms of two…

We give short, closure-theoretic proofs for uniform bounds on the growth of symbolic powers of ideals in regular rings. The author recently proved these bounds in mixed characteristic using various versions of perfectoid/big Cohen-Macaulay…

Let X be a toric variety over a field K determined by a triangle. Let Y be the blow-up at (1,1) in X. In this paper we give some criteria for finite generation of the Cox ring of Y in the case where Y has a curve C such that C^2 \le 0 and…

We exhibit the elementary but somewhat surprising property that most direct links of prime ideals in Gorenstein rings are equimultiple ideals. It leads to the construction of a bountiful set of Cohen--Macaulay Rees algebras.

Let $S$ be a submonoid of a free Abelian group of finite rank. We show that if $k$ is a field of prime characteristic such that the monoid $k$-algebra $k[S]$ is split $F$-regular, then $k[S]$ is a finitely generated $k$-algebra, or…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring. We characterize when its completion has an isolated singularity, thereby strengthening the Dao-Takahashi refinement of the Auslander-Huneke-Leuschke-Wiegand theorem. We investigate the ascent…

We investigate the containment problem of symbolic and ordinary powers of ideals in a commutative Noetherian domain $R$. Let $R$ be a normal domain of prime characteristic $p>0$ that is $F$-finite or essentially of finite type over an…

Let G be a simple graph and let J be its ideal of vertex covers. We give a graph theoretical description of the irreducible b-vertex covers of G, i.e., we describe the minimal generators of the symbolic Rees algebra of J. Then we study the…

This paper gives a necessary and sufficient condition for Gorensteinness in Rees algebras of the $d$-th power of parameter ideals in certain Noetherian local rings of dimension $d\ge 2$. The main result of this paper produces many…

Given a skew-symmetric matrix $X$, the Pfaffian of $X$ is defined as the square root of the determinant of $X$. In this article, we give the explicit defining equations of the Rees algebra of a Pfaffian ideal $I$ generated by the maximal…

Let $R$ be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring of dimension one with a canonical module $\rm{K_R}$. Let $I$ be a faithful ideal of $R$. We explore the problem of when $I \otimes_RI^{\vee}$ is torsionfree, where $I^{\vee} = \operatorname{Hom_R(I,…

In this paper we describe the equations defining the multi-Rees algebra $k[x_1,\dots,x_n][I_1^{a_1}t_1,\dots,I_r^{a_r}t_r]$, where the ideals are generated by subsets of $x_1,\dots,x_n$. We also show that a family of binomials whose leading…

Many results are known about test ideals and $F$-singularities for ${\bf Q}$-Gorenstein rings. In this paper we generalize many of these results to the case when the symbolic Rees algebra $O_X \oplus O_X(-K_X) \oplus O_X(-2K_X) \oplus ...$…

In this paper we consider multi-graded extended Rees algebras of zero dimensional ideals which are Cohen-Macaulay (CM) with minimal multiplicity. We show that the minimal multiplicity property can occur only for the ordinary extended Rees…

Using SAGBI basis techniques, we find Gr\"obner bases for the presentation ideals of the Rees algebras and special fiber rings of unit interval determinantal facet ideals. In particular, we show that unit interval determinantal facet ideals…

We associate to every equicharacteristic zero Noetherian local ring $R$ a faithfully flat ring extension which is an ultraproduct of rings of various prime characteristics, in a weakly functorial way. Since such ultraproducts carry…

In this paper, we study the Cohen-Macaulayness of non-affine normal semigroups in $\mathbb{Z}^n$. We do this by establishing the following four statements each of independent interest: 1) a Lazard type result on $I$-supported elements of…
