On the depth of the associated graded ring of a filtration (Q1770471)

Let \((A, m)\) be a noetherian local ring and \({\mathcal F}= (F_n)_{n\in\mathbb{Z}}\) a filtration of \(A\). The main theorem of this paper gives a lower bound for the depth of the associated graded ring \(G({\mathcal F})= \bigoplus_{n\geq 0} F_n/F_{n+1}\) of \({\mathcal F}\), which has been already obtained by \textit{L. Ghezzi} [J. Algebra 248, No. 2, 688--707 (2002; Zbl 1070.13004)] in the case where \(F_n= I^n\) for some ideal \(I\) of \(A\).
