Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity and Ratliff-Rush closure (Q1644850): Difference between revisions

Let $A$ be a standard graded algebra over a field $k$ with the standard graded maximal ideal $m$. Let $I$ be an ideal of $A$. We write $R(I)=\bigoplus_{n\geq0}I^{n}$, the Rees algebra of $I$ and $F(I)=\bigoplus_{n\geq n}I^{n}/mI^{n}$, the fiber ring of $I$. We denote $\text{reg}(*)$, the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of $*$. \textit{D. Eisenbud} and \textit{B. Ulrich} have the following conjecture in [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 140, No. 4, 1221--1232 (2012; Zbl 1246.13016)]: \[ \text{reg}(R(I))=\text{reg}(F(I)) \] when $I$ is an $m$-primary graded ideal generated by forms of the same degree. \par The authors try to verify the conjecture with some extra assumptions. The first main result is when $\text{depth}G(I)\geq\text{dim}A-1$ then \[ \text{reg}(R(I))=\text{reg}(F(I))=r_{J}(I) \] for every minimal prime of $J$ of $I$, where $G(I)=\bigoplus_{n\geq0}I^{n}/I^{n+1}$ is the associated graded ring of $I$ (Theorem 3.5). When $I\subseteq A=k[x,y]$ is a monomial ideal generated by degree $d$ such that it contains $x^{d},x^{d-1},y^{d}$, then the conjecture is true (Theorem 4.4). \par The main results of this paper is that they find $\text{reg}(R(I))$ and $\text{reg}(F(I))$ control the behavior of the Ratliff-Rush closure and the Ratliff-Rush filtration of $I$. More specifically, if $\text{dim}A=2$, they express $\text{reg}(R(I))$ and $\text{reg}(F(I))$ in terms of the stability of the Ratliff-Rush filtration (Theorem 2.4, 2.9 and 3.8).
