Let I be a Cohen-Macaulay ideal of grade g > 0 in a local Gorenstein ring (R, m) with residue class field k. An R-ideal J is said to be linked to I with respect to the regular sequence α = α1 …, αg ⊂ I ∩ J if J = (α): I and I = (α): J ([6]). In this paper we are concerned with the following question: how big is dimk ((α, mJ)/mJ)? Obviously this dimension is at most g, but it could be as small as 0. If it is g then the link from J to I is called a minimal link, which is in most respects the desired type of link. The only general result known in this direction is that if I is Gorenstein, then dimk {(α, mJ)/mJ) = g unless both I and J are complete intersections (see [1], Proposition 5.2). We are able to generalize this fact to the case where (R/I)p is Gorenstein for all prime ideals p in R/I with dim (R/J)p ≤ 4; however we have to assume that I is generically a complete intersection ideal, and that R is a complete intersection (Theorem 2.3). Without the assumption on R we prove that if I is generically a complete intersection, and if for a fixed integer r the type of (R/I)p is at most r for all prime ideals p in R/I with dim (R/I)P ≤ (r + 1)2, then dimk ((α, mJ/mJ)) ≥ g — r (Proposition 2.1). If r = 1, i.e. if R/I is Gorenstein in codimension 4, then this estimate shows the dimension is at least g — 1. Theorem 2.3 can also be interpreted to yield a strong upper bound for the codimension of the non-Gorenstein-locus of certain perfect ideals: Let R be a regular local ring. Let I be an R-ideal which is generically a complete intersection, and assume that I is in the even linkage class of a Gorenstein ideal (i.e., there exists a sequence of links I ~ I1 ~ I2 ~ … ~ I2n with I2n a Gorenstein ideal); then I is a Gorenstein ideal provided that {R/I)p is Gorenstein for all prime ideals p of R/I with dim (R/I)p ≤ 4 (Corollary 3.1).

Let A = R/, where R is a regular local ring of arbitrary dimension and is an ideal of R. If A is a Gorenstein ring and if height = 2, it is easily proved that A is a complete intersection, i.e., is generated by two elements (Serre [5], Proposition 3). Hence Gorenstein rings which are not complete intersections are of embedding codimension at least three. An example of these rings is found in Bass’ paper [1] (p. 29). This is obtained as a quotient of a three dimensional regular local ring by an ideal which is generated by five elements, i.e., generated by a regular sequence plus two more elements. In this paper, suggested by this example, we prove that if A is a Gorenstein ring and if height = 3, then is minimally generated by an odd number of elements. If A has a greater codimension, presumably there is no such restriction on the minimal number of generators for , as will be conceived from the proof.

Let A be a regular local ring of dim A = 3 and p a prime ideal in A of dim A/p = 1. We put Rs(p) = (here t denotes an indeterminate over A) and call it the symbolic Rees algebra of p. With this notation the authors [5, 6] investigated the condition under which the A-algebra Rs(p) is Cohen-Macaulay and gave a criterion for Rs(p) to be a Gorenstein ring in terms of the elements f and g in Huneke’s condition [11, Theorem 3.1] of Rs(p) being Noetherian. They furthermore explored the prime ideals p = p(n1, n2, n3) in the formal power series ring A = k[X, Y, Z] over a field k defining space monomial curves and Z = with GCD(n1, n2, nz) = 1 and proved that Rs(p) are Gorenstein rings for certain prime ideals p = p(n1 n2, n3). In the present research, similarly as in [5, 6], we are interested in the ring-theoretic properties of Rs(p) mainly for p = p(n1 n2) nz) and the results of [5, 6] will play key roles in this paper.

Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring and suppose q is a prime ideal of R. A fundamental problem is to decide when powers qn of q are primary (that is qn is its own primary decomposition). If q is generated by a regular sequence then powers of q are always primary, because G(q, R) (the associated graded ring of R with respect to q) is an integral domain (see [12 page 98] and also [5 (2.1)]). Let qn) denote the nth symbolic power of q-defined by q(n) = {rεR|there exists sεR\q such that sr ε qn}. Then qn is primary if and only if qn = q(n) If q is generated by a regular sequence then we call it a complete intersection prime ideal, so if q is a complete intersection prime ideal then qn ≠ q(n) for all n ≥ 1. If q is not a complete intersection then powers need not be primary. If R is a three-dimensional regular local ring and q is a non-complete intersection height two prime ideal for example, then Huneke showed [11 Corollary (2.5)] that qn = q(n) for all n ≥ 2. Thus, for such a prime q it is impossible for qn to occur in the primary decomposition of any ideal. This phenomena increases the difficulty in finding a primary decomposition for an ideal having q as an associated prime.

AbstractLet $${\mathcal {M}}$$ M denote the maximal ideal of the ring of integers of a non-Archimedean field K with residue class field k whose invertible elements, we denote $$k^{\times }$$ k × , and a uniformizer we denote $$\pi $$ π . In this paper, we consider the map $$T_{v}: {\mathcal {M}} \rightarrow {\mathcal {M}}$$ T v : M → M defined by $$\begin{aligned} T_v(x) = \frac{\pi ^{v(x)}}{x} - b(x), \end{aligned}$$ T v ( x ) = π v ( x ) x - b ( x ) , where b(x) denotes the equivalence class to which $$\frac{\pi ^{v(x)}}{x}$$ π v ( x ) x belongs in $$k^{\times }$$ k × . We show that $$T_v$$ T v preserves Haar measure $$\mu $$ μ on the compact abelian topological group $${\mathcal {M}}$$ M . Let $${\mathcal {B}}$$ B denote the Haar $$\sigma $$ σ -algebra on $${\mathcal {M}}$$ M . We show the natural extension of the dynamical system $$({\mathcal {M}}, {\mathcal {B}}, \mu , T_v)$$ ( M , B , μ , T v ) is Bernoulli and has entropy $$\frac{\#( k)}{\#( k^{\times })}\log (\#( k))$$ # ( k ) # ( k × ) log ( # ( k ) ) . The first of these two properties is used to study the average behaviour of the convergents arising from $$T_v$$ T v . Here for a finite set A its cardinality has been denoted by $$\# (A)$$ # ( A ) . In the case $$K = {\mathbb {Q}}_p$$ K = Q p , i.e. the field of p-adic numbers, the map $$T_v$$ T v reduces to the well-studied continued fraction map due to Schneider.

A multiple structure [Formula: see text] on a smooth curve [Formula: see text] is said to be primitive if [Formula: see text] is locally contained in a smooth surface. We give some numerical conditions for a curve [Formula: see text] to be a primitive set theoretical complete intersection (i.e. to have a primitive structure which is a complete intersection).

Any finitely generated module M over a local ring R is endowed with a complete intersection dimension CI-dim RM and a Gorenstein dimension G-dim RM. The Gorenstein dimension can be extended to all modules over the ring R. This paper presents a similar extension for the complete intersection dimension, and mentions the relation between this dimension and the Gorenstein flat dimension. In addition, we show that in the intersection theorem, the flat dimension can be replaced by the complete intersection flat dimension.

Let k be a local field; that is, a complete discrete-valued field having a perfect residue class field. If L is a finite Galois extension of k then L is also a local field. Let G denote the Galois group GL|k. Then the nth ramification group Gn is defined bywhere OL, denotes the ring of integers of L, and PL is the prime ideal of OL. The ramification groups form a descending chain of invariant subgroups of G:1In this paper, an attempt is made to characterize (in terms of the arithmetic of k) the ramification filters (1) obtained from abelian extensions L\k.

AbstractIn this paper we examine different problems regarding complete intersection varieties of high multidegree in a smooth complex projective variety. First we prove an existence theorem for jet differential equations that generalizes a theorem of Diverio. Then we show how one can deduce hyperbolicity for generic complete intersections of high multidegree and high codimension from the known results on hypersurfaces. Finally, motivated by a conjecture of Debarre, we focus on the positivity of the cotangent bundle of complete intersections, and prove some results towards this conjecture; among other things, we prove that a generic complete intersection surface of high multidegree in a projective space of dimension at least four has an ample cotangent bundle.
