We show that the associated form, or, equivalently, a Macaulay inverse system, of an Artinian complete intersection of type (d, . . . , d) is polystable. As an application, we obtain an invariant-theoretic variant of the Mather-Yau theorem for homogeneous hypersurface singularities.

an isomorphism? These questions have interest partly because if S and .S’(J, S) are Cohen-Macaulay, then so is gr, S := S/J@ J/J’... [ 16 1 and under these hypotheses if N is perfect and R @ .S(J, S) = .$(I, R), then R and .7(1. R) are Cohen-Macaulay too. Thus, gr,R is Cohen-Macaulay, and its torsion freeness and normality, for exmple, can be characterized in terms of analytic spreads, as in [ ...

Let (R; m;k) be a local ring (commutative and Noetherian). We will discuss existence and uniqueness of direct-sum decompositions of nitely generated R-modules. One says that R has nite CM type provided there are only nitely many indecomposable maximal Cohen-Macaulay R-modules up to isomorphism. Among complete equicharacteristic hypersurface rings with k algebraically closed of characteristic 6 ...

We give a canonical construction of a balanced big Cohen-Macaulay algebra for a domain of finite type over C by taking ultraproducts of absolute integral closures in positive characteristic. This yields a new tight closure characterization of rational singularities in characteristic zero.

For a Noetherian local domain A, there exists an upper bound Nτ (A) on the minimal number of generators of any height two ideal a for whichA/a is Cohen-Macaulay of type τ . If A contains an infinite field, then we may take Nτ (A) := (τ + 1)ehom(A), where ehom(A) is the homological multiplicity of A.

let $(r,m)$ be a commutative noetherian local ring, $m$ a finitely generated $r$-module of dimension $d$, and let $i$ be an ideal of definition for $m$. in this paper, we extend cite[corollary 10(4)]{p} and also we show that if $m$ is a cohen-macaulay $r$-module and $d=2$, then $lambda(frac{widetilde{i^nm}}{jwidetilde{i^{n-1}m}})$ does not depend on $j$ for all $ngeq 1$, where $j$ is a minimal ...

We prove that a Cohen-Macaulay normal variety X has Du Bois singularities if and only if π∗ωX′(G) ≃ ωX for a log resolution π : X ′ → X , where G is the reduced exceptional divisor of π. Many basic theorems about Du Bois singularities become transparent using this characterization (including the fact that Cohen-Macaulay log canonical singularities are Du Bois). We also give a straightforward an...

In this paper, we study non-Cohen–Macaulay Buchsbaum Stanley– Reisner rings with linear free resolution. In particular, for given integers c, d, q with c ≥ 1, 2 ≤ q ≤ d, we give an upper bound hc,d,q on the dimension of the unique non-vanishing homology H̃q−2(∆; k) of a d-dimensional Buchsbaum ring k[∆] with q-linear resolution and codimension c. Also, we discuss about existence for such Buchsba...
