This is the third in a series of papers highlighting the applications of reduced and coreduced modules. Let $R$ be a commutative unital ring and $I$ be an ideal of $R$. We show in different settings that $I$-reduced (resp. $I$-coreduced)…

A quasi-complete intersection (q.c.i.) ideal of a local ring is an ideal with "free exterior Koszul homology"; the definition can also be understood in terms of vanishing of Andr\'e-Quillen homology functors. Principal q.c.i. ideals are…

Let A be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring of dimension d and I an ideal in A. Let M be a finitely generated maximal Cohen-Macaulay A-module. Let I be a locally complete intersection ideal of analytic deviation one and reduction number at most…

Criteria are given in terms of certain Hilbert coefficients for the fiber cone F(I) of an m-primary ideal I in a Cohen-Macaulay local ring (R,m) so that it is Cohen-Macaulay or has depth at least dim(R)-1. A version of Huneke's fundamental…

The aim of this paper is to elucidate the relationship between the Gorenstein Rees algebra $\R(I):=\bigoplus_{i\ge 0}I^i$ of an ideal $I$ in a complete Noetherian local ring $A$ and the graded canonical module of the extended Rees algebra…

Let $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over a field $K$, and let $A$ be a finitely generated standard graded $S$-algebra. We show that if the defining ideal of $A$ has a quadratic initial ideal, then all the graded components of…

Let $(R, {\mathfrak m})$ be a Noetherian local ring and let $I$ be an $R$-ideal. Inspired by the work of H\"ubl and Huneke, we look for conditions that guarantee the Cohen-Macaulayness of the special fiber ring ${\mathcal F}={\mathcal…

The aim of this survey is to discuss invariants of Cohen-Macaulay local rings that admit a canonical module. Attached to each such ring R with a canonical ideal C, there are integers--the type of R, the reduction number of C--that provide…

Let $R$ be a formal power series ring over a field, with maximal ideal $\mathfrak m$, and let $I$ be an ideal of $R$ such that $R/I$ is Artinian. We study the iterated socles of $I$, that is the ideals which are defined as the largest ideal…

The first two Hilbert coefficients of a primary ideal play an important role in commutative algebra and in algebraic geometry. In this paper we give a complete algebraic structure of the Sally module of integrally closed ideals $I$ in a…

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…

The third named author and P\'{e}rez proved that under certain conditions the test ideal of a module closure agrees with the trace ideal of the module closure. We use this fact to compute the test ideals of various rings with respect to the…

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 $K$ be a field, $V$ a finite dimensional $K$-vector space and $E$ the exterior algebra of $V$. We analyze iterated mapping cone over $E$. If $I$ is a monomial ideal of $E$ with linear quotients, we show that the mapping cone…

Let $I$ be a homogeneous ideal in $R=\mathbb K[x_0,\ldots,x_n]$, such that $R/I$ is an Artinian Gorenstein ring. A famous theorem of Macaulay says that in this instance $I$ is the ideal of polynomial differential operators with constant…

Let $R=\mathbb{K}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$, a graded algebra $S=R/I$ satisfies $N_{k,p}$ if $I$ is generated in degree $k$, and the graded minimal resolution is linear the first $p$ steps, and the $k$-index of $S$ is the largest $p$ such that $S$…

Let R be a non-negatively graded Cohen-Macaulay ring with R_0 a Cohen-Macaulay factor ring of a local Gorenstein ring. Let d be the dimension of R, m be the maximal homogeneous ideal of R, and M be a finitely generated graded R-module. It…

Let R be a commutative ring with identity and M be an R-module. A proper ideal I of R is said to be a $z^\circ$-ideal if for each $a \in I$ the intersection of all minimal prime ideals containing a is contained in I. The purpose of this…

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…
