Let I be an equimultiple ideal of Noetherian local ring A. This paper gives some multiplicity formulas of the extended Rees algebras T = A[I t, t −1 ]. In the case A generalized Cohen-Macaulay, we determine when T is Cohen-Macaulay and as an immediate consequence we obtain e.g., some criteria for the Cohen-Macaulayness of Rees algebra R(I ) over a Cohen-Macaulay ring in terms of reduction numbers and ideals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
