Elias Ideals

Let $(R, \mathfrak m)$ be a one dimensional local Cohen-Macaulay ring. An $\mathfrak m$-primary ideal $I$ of $R$ is Elias if the types of $I$ and of $R/I$ are equal. Canonical and principal ideals are Elias, and Elias ideals are closed under inclusion. We give multiple characterizations of Elias ideals and concrete criteria to identify them. We connect Elias ideals to other well-studied definitions: Ulrich, $\mathfrak m$-full, integrally closed, trace ideals, etc. Applications are given regarding canonical ideals, conductors and the Auslander index.
