Abstract

Let (R,m)(R, \mathfrak{m}) be a Noetherian local ring. This paper concerns several extremal invariants arising from the study of the relation between colength and (Hilbert--Samuel or Hilbert--Kunz) multiplicity of an m\mathfrak{m}-primary ideal. We introduce versions of these invariants by restricting to various closures and ``cross-pollinate'' the two multiplicity theories by asking for analogues invariants already established in one of the theories. On the Hilbert--Samuel side, we prove that the analog of the St\"{u}ckrad--Vogel invariant (that is, the infimum of the ratio between the multiplicity and colength) for integrally closed m\mathfrak{m}-primary ideals is often 11 under mild assumptions. We also compute the supremum and infimum of the relative drops of multiplicity for (integrally closed) m\mathfrak{m}-primary ideals. On the Hilbert--Kunz side, we study several analogs of the Lech--Mumford and St\"{u}ckrad--Vogel invariants.
