In this work we describe a minimal log-resolution of an ideal in a smooth complex surface from the minimal log-resolution of its generators.

Let $I$ be an ideal generated by a system of parameters in an excellent Cohen-Macaulay local domain. We show that the associated graded ring $G^*(I)$ of the filtration $\{(I^n)^*: n\in \mathbb{N}\}$ is Cohen-Macaulay. We prove that if $R$…

Let $R$ be a noetherian commutative ring. Of great interest is the question whether one can find an explicit integer $k$ such that $\overline{I^{k+n}}\subseteq I^n$ for each ideal $I$ and each integer $n\geq 1$ (the notation…

By definition, an $\m$-primary ideal $I$ in a 2-dimensional regular local ring $(R, \m)$ is contracted if $I=R \cap IR[\m/x]$ for some $x \in \m \setminus \m^2$. Contracted ideals have been introduced by Zariski and used for proving the…

Every quotient R/I of a semigroup ring R by a radical monomial ideal I has a unique minimal injective-like resolution by direct sums of quotients of R modulo prime monomial ideals. The quotient R/I is Cohen-Macaulay if and only if every…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian local ring and $m$ a positive integer. Let $I$ be the ideal of $R$ generated by the maximal minors of an $m \times (m + 1)$ matrix $M$ with entries in $R$. Assuming that the grade of the ideal generated by the…

We expand the notion of core to $cl$-core for Nakayama closures $cl$. In the characteristic $p>0$ setting, when $cl$ is the tight closure, denoted by *, we give some examples of ideals when the core and the *-core differ. We note that…

The supremum of reduction numbers of ideals having principal reductions is expressed in terms of the integral degree, a new invariant of the ring, which is finite provided the ring has finite integral closure. As a consequence, one obtains…

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 $R$ denote a commutative Noetherian ring, $I$ an ideal of $R$, and let $S$ be a multiplicatively closed subset of $R$. In \cite{Ra1}, Ratliff showed that the sequence of sets ${\rm Ass}_RR/\bar{I}\subseteq {\rm Ass}_RR/\bar{I^2}…

We show that for ideals primary to a maximal ideal in a normal domain of finite type over the complex numbers, its tight closure is contained inside the continuous closure.

Let $A$ be a non Gorenstein Cohen Macaulay ring of dimension $d\geq 1$, $I$ an ideal of $A$, and suppose $\omega_A$ is a canonical $A$-module. Set $$r(I,\omega_A) = \bigcup_{n \geq 0} (I^{n+1} \omega_A : I^{n} \omega_A) \subseteq A .$$ We…

A classical result of Micali asserts that a Noetherian local ring is regular if and only if the Rees algebra of its maximal ideal is defined by an ideal of linear forms. In this case, this defining ideal may be realized as a determinantal…

In this paper, we study Noetherian local rings $R$ having a finite number of trace ideals. We proved that such rings are of dimension at most two. Furthermore, if the integral closure of $R/H$, where $H$ is the zeroth local cohomology, is…

Let $I$ be the edge ideal of a Cohen-Macaulay tree of dimension $d$ over a polynomial ring $S = \mathrm{k}[x_1,\ldots,x_{d},y_1,\ldots,y_d]$. We prove that for all $t \ge 1$, $$\operatorname{depth} (S/I^t) = \operatorname{max} \{d -t + 1, 1…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an analytically unramified Cohen-Macaulay local ring and let $\mathfrak{a}$ be an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal in $A$. If $I$ is an ideal in $A$ then let $I^*$ be the integral closure of $I$ in $A$. Let…

The Cohen-Macaulay type of idealizations of maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over Cohen-Macaulay local rings is explored. There are two extremal cases, one of which is closely related to the theory of Ulrich modules \cite{BHU, GOTWY1, GOTWY2,…

The purpose of this note is to revisit the results of arXiv:1407.4324 from a slightly different perspective, outlining how, if the integral closures of a finite set of prime ideals abide the expected convexity patterns, then the existence…

Generalizing the concept of the Macaulay inverse system, we introduce a way to describe localizations of an ideal in a polynomial ring. This leads to an approach to the differential primary decomposition as a description of the affine…

We establish basic results on subrings of finite commutative rings and closely related rings. Among other applications we calculate the number of maximal subrings of a finite commutative local ring.
