Tight closure and linkage classes in Gorenstein rings (Q1407803)

The paper under review relates tight closure theory to linkage theory in Gorenstein rings of positive characteristic. The author works with the notion of linkage by Gorenstein ideals of finite projective dimension. If \(R\) is Gorenstein local, \(I\) is an unmixed ideal in \(R\) and \(\tau\) is the test ideal of \(R\), then the author shows that \(\tilde{I} ^* (I : \tau) \subset I^*\), where \(\tilde{I}\) denotes the sum of all ideals in the linkage class of \(I\) and \(I^*\) the tight closure of \(I\). As a corollary, tight closure is shown to commute with localization for ideals \(I\) for which \(\tilde{I}\) is primary to the maximal ideal of \(R\).
