The concept of semi-local rings was introduced by C. Chevalley [1], which the writer has generalized in a recent paper [7] by removing the chain condition. The present paper aims mainly at the study of completions of semi-local rings. First in § 1 we investigate semi-local rings which are subdirect sums of semi-local rings, and we see in § 2 that a Noetherian semi-local ringRis complete if (and only if)R/pis complete for every minimal prime divisorpof zero ideal, together with some other properties. Further we consider in § 3 subrings of the completion of a semi-local ring. § 4 gives some supplementary remarks to [7], Chapter II, Proposition 8.

If I and J are ideals in a Noetherian ring R, then I and J are projectively equivalent in case (Ii)a = (Jj)a for some positive integers i, j (where Ka denotes the integral closure in R of the ideal K) and the form ring F(R, I) of R with respect to I is the graded ring R/I ⊕ I/I2 ⊕ I2/I3 ⊕ …. These two concepts have played an important role in many research problems in commutative algebra, so they have been deeply studied and many of their properties have been discovered. In a recent paper [13] they were combined to show that a semi-local ring R is unmixed if and only if for every ideal J in R there exists a projectively equivalent ideal J in R such that every prime divisor of zero in F(R, J) has the same depth. It seems to us that results similar to this are interesting and potentially quite useful, so in this paper we prove several additional such theorems. Namely, it is shown that all ideals in all local rings have a projectively equivalent ideal whose form ring is fairly nice. Also, a characterization similar to the just mentioned result in [13] is given for the class of local rings whose completions have no embedded prime divisors of zero, and several analogous new characterizations are given for locally unmixed Noetherian rings. In particular, it is shown that if I is an ideal in an unmixed local ring R such that height(I) = l(I) (where l(I) denotes the analytic spread of I), then there exists a projectively equivalent ideal J in R such that Ass (F(R, J)) has exactly m elements, all minimal, where m is the number of minimal prime divisors of I (so if I is open, then F(R, J) has exactly one prime divisor of zero and is a locally unmixed Noetherian ring).

Since the foundational paper (10) by Northcott and Rees in 1954 there have been quite a few papers concerning reductions of ideals and the analytic spread of an ideal. One particular line of investigation concerning the analytic spread l(I) of an ideal I in a local ring (R, M) was begun in 1972 by Burch in (5), where it was shown that l(I) ≤ altitude R – min (grade R/In; n ≥ 1). This result was sharpened in 1980–81 by Brodmann in three papers, (2, 3, 4). Therein he showed that the sets {grade R/In; n ≥ 1} and {grade In−1/In; n ≥ 1} stabilize for all large n, and calling the stable values t and t*, respectively, it holds that t ≤ t* and l(I) ≤ altitude R – t* when I is not nilpotent. He then gave a case (involving R being quasi-unmixed) when equality holds. In 1981 in (20) Rees used two new approaches to Burch's inequality, and he proved two nice results which may both be stated as: l(I) ≤ altitude R – s(I) with equality holding when R is quasi-unmixed; here, s(I) = min {height P; P is a minimal prime divisor of (M, u) R[tI, u]}– 1 (in the first theorem), and s(I) is the length of a maximal asymptotic sequence over I (in the second theorem).

In this paper we mainly consider local rings admitting dualizing complexes. It is well-known that if a Noetherian local ring A admits a dualizing complex, then the non-Cohen–Macaulay (abbreviated CM) locus of A is closed in the Zariski topology (cf. [8, 10]). If the dimension of this locus is zero and A is equidimensional, i.e. the punctured spectrum of A is locally CM and dim(A/P) = dim (A) for all minimal prime ideals P ∈ Ass (A), then A is a generalized CM ring and its structure is well-understood (see [2, 12]). For instance, one of the characterizations of generalized CM rings is the conditions that for any parameter ideal q contained in a large power of the maximal ideal m of A, the difference between length and multiplicityis independent of the choice of q. However, if the dimension of the non-CM locus is larger than zero, little is known about how this dimension is related to the structure of the local ring A. The purpose of this paper is to show that if M is a finitely generated A-module, then there exist systems of parameters x = (x1, …, xd) (where d = dim M) such that the differenceis a polynomial in n1, …, nd for all positive integers n1, …, nd and the degree of IM(n1, …, nd;x) is independent of the choice of x. We shall also give various characterizations of this degree by using the notion of reducing systems of parameters of Auslander and Buchsbaum[l]. In particular, if the module M is equidimensional we shall show that the degree of IM(n1, …, nd;x) is equal to the dimension of the non-CM locus of M.

The problem of classifying the normal subgroups of the general linear group over a field was solved in the general case by Dieudonné (see 2 and 3). If we consider the problem over a ring, it is trivial to see that there will be more normal subgroups than in the field case. Klingenberg (4) has investigated the situation over a local ring and has shown that they are classified by certain congruence groups which are determined by the ideals in the ring.Klingenberg's solution roughly goes as follows. To a given ideal , attach certain congruence groups and . Next, assign a certain ideal (called the order) to a given subgroup G. The main result states that if G is normal with order a, then ≧ G ≧ , that is, G satisfies the so-called ladder relation at ; conversely, if G satisfies the ladder relation at , then G is normal and has order .

AbstractLet R be a d-dimensional Cohen–Macaulay (CM) local ring of minimal multiplicity. Set S := R/(f), where f := f1,. . .,fc is an R-regular sequence. Suppose M and N are maximal CM S-modules. It is shown that if ExtSi(M, N) = 0 for some (d + c + 1) consecutive values of i ⩾ 2, then ExtSi(M, N) = 0 for all i ⩾ 1. Moreover, if this holds true, then either projdimR(M) or injdimR(N) is finite. In addition, a counterpart of this result for Tor-modules is provided. Furthermore, we give a number of necessary and sufficient conditions for a CM local ring of minimal multiplicity to be regular or Gorenstein. These conditions are based on vanishing of certain Exts or Tors involving homomorphic images of syzygy modules of the residue field.

Throughout, (R, m) will denote a d-dimensional CohenMacaulay (CM for short) local ring having an infinite residue field and I an m-primary ideal in R. Recall that an ideal J I is said to be a reduction of I if Ir+1 = JIr for some r 0, and a reduction J of I is called a minimal reduction of I if J is generated by a system of parameters. The concepts of reduction and minimal reduction were first introduced by Northcott and Rees12. If J is a reduction of I, define the reduction number of I with respect to J, denoted by rj(I), to be min {r 0 Ir+1 = JIr}. The reduction number of I is defined as r(I) = min {rj(I)J is a minimal reduction of I}. The reduction number r(I) is said to be independent if r(I) = rj(I) for every minimal reduction J of I.

Let [Formula: see text] be a Noetherian local ring with maximal ideal [Formula: see text] and residue field [Formula: see text]. The linearity defect of a finitely generated [Formula: see text]-module [Formula: see text], which is denoted [Formula: see text], is a numerical measure of how far [Formula: see text] is from having linear resolution. We study the linearity defect of the residue field. We give a positive answer to the question raised by Herzog and Iyengar of whether [Formula: see text] implies [Formula: see text], in the case when [Formula: see text].

Let R R be a complete local ring and let Q Q be a prime ideal of R R . It is determined precisely which conditions on R R are equivalent to the existence of a complete unramified regular local ring A A and an element g ∈ A − Q g\in A-Q such that R R is a finite A A -module and A g ⟶ R g A_g\longrightarrow R_g is étale . A number of other properties of the possible embeddings A ⟶ R A\longrightarrow R are developed in the process including the determination of precisely which fields can be coefficient fields in the Cohen-Gabber Theorem.

There are relatively few classes of local rings (R, m) for which the question of the rationality of the Poincaré serieswhere k = R/m, has been settled. (For an example of a local ring with non-rational Poincaré series see the recent paper by D. Anick, “Construction of loop spaces and local rings whose Poincaré—Betti series are nonrational”, C. R. Acad. Sc. Paris 290 (1980), 729-732.) In this note, we compute the Poincaré series of a certain family of local Cohen-Macaulay rings and obtain, as a corollary, the rationality of the Poincaré series of d-dimensional local Gorenstein rings (R, m) of embedding dimension at least e + d – 3, where e is the multiplicity of R. It follows that local Gorenstein rings of multiplicity at most five have rational Poincaré series.
