New upper bounds on the first and the second Hilbert coefficients of a Cohen-Macaulay module over a local ring are given. Characterizations are provided for some upper bounds to be attained. The characterizations are given in terms of Hilbert series as well as in terms of the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the associated graded module.
We analyze and present an effective solution to the minimal Gorenstein cover problem: given a local Artin k-algebra $A = k[[x 1 ,. .. x n ]]/I$, compute an Artin Gorenstein $k$-algebra $G = k[[x 1 ,. .. x n ]]/J$ such that $\ell(G)--\ell(A)$ is minimal. We approach the problem by using Macaulay's inverse systems and a modification of the integration method for inverse systems to compute Gorenstein covers. We propose new characterizations of the minimal Gorenstein cover and present a new algorithm for the effective computation of the variety of all minimal Gorenstein covers of A for low Gorenstein colength. Experimentation illustrates the practical behavior of the method.
In 1978 Lipman presented a proof of the existence of a desingularization for any excellent surface. The strategy of Lipman's proof is based on the finiteness of the number H(R) defined as the supreme of the second Hilbert-Samuel coefficient I, where I range the set of normal m-primary ideals of a Noetherian complete local ring (R,m). The problem studied in the paper is the extension of the result of Lipman on H(R) to m-primary ideals I of a d-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay ring R such that the associated graded ring of R with respect to I^n is Cohen-Macaulay for n>> 0.
Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$, and let $A$ be an Artinian Gorenstein local commutative and Noetherian $K$--algebra, with maximal ideal $M$. In the present paper we prove a structure theorem describing such kind of $K$--algebras satisfying $M^4=0$. We use this result in order to prove that such a $K$--algebra $A$ has rational Poincaré series and it is always smoothable in any embedding dimension, if $\dim_K M^2/M^3 \le 4$. We also prove that the generic Artinian Gorenstein local $K$--algebra with socle degree three has rational Poincaré series, in spite of the fact that such algebras are not necessarily smoothable.
In this paper we classify, up to analytic isomorphism, the family of almost stretched Artinian complete intersection A=R/I with a given Hilbert function, in the case R is a power series ring with an arbitrary number of variables.
In this note we compute the Poincare Series of almost stretched Gorenstein local rings. It turns out that it is rational
In this paper we study some cohomological properties of non-standard multigraded modules and Veronese transforms of them. Among others numerical characters, we study the generalized depth of a module and we see that it is invariant by taking a Veronese transform. We prove some vanishing theorems for the local cohomology modules of a multigraded module; as a corollary of these results we get that the depth of a Veronese module is asymptotically constant.
The main purpose of this paper is to prove the existence of the moduli space parameterizing the embedded curve singularities of $(k^N,0)$ with an admissible Hilbert polynomial and to study its basic properties.
Let $(R, m)$ be a $d$-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local ring. In this note we prove, in a very elementary way, an upper bound of the first normalized Hilbert coefficient of a $m$-primary ideal $I\subset R$ that improves all known upper bounds unless for a finite number of cases. We also provide new upper bounds of the Hilbert functions of $I$ extending the known bounds for the maximal ideal.
The main achievement of this paper is to provide a structure theorem for Artinian, Gorenstein local rings with the property that the square of the maximal ideal is generated by two elements. The moduli problem for this class of local algebras is also discussed. Finally, upper and lower bounds for the minimal number of generators of perfect ideals are given.
Let $R$ be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring, and let $I\subset R$ be an ideal with minimal reduction $J$. In this paper we attach to the pair $I$, $J$ a non-standard bigraded module $Σ^{I,J}$. The study of the bigraded Hilbert function of $\SIJ$ allows us to prove a improved version of Wang's conjecture and a weak version of Sally's conjecture, both on the depth of the associated graded ring $gr_I(R)$. The module $\SIJ$ can be considered as a refinement of the Sally's module previously introduced by W. Vasconcelos.
