Abstract: We characterize ideals whose adjoints are determined by their Rees valuations. We generalize the notion of a regular system of parameters, and prove that for ideals generated by monomials in such elements, the integral closure and adjoints are generated by monomials. We prove that the adjoints of such ideals and of all ideals in two-dimensional regular local rings are determined by their Rees valuations. We prove special cases of subadditivity of adjoints.

Review text

Let \(R\) be a regular domain and \(I\) an ideal in \(R\). The \textit{adjoint} \(\mathrm{adj }I\) of \(I\) is defined by Lipman as \[ \mathrm{adj } I=\cap_v\{r\in R\mid v(r)\geq v(I)-v(J_{R_v}/R)\}, \] where the intersection varies over all valuations \(v\) on the field of fractions of \(R\) that are nonnegative on \(R\) and for which the corresponding valuation ring \(R_v\) is a localization of a finitely generated \(R\)-algebra and where \(J_{R_v/R}\) denotes the Jacobian ideal of \(R_v\), over \(R\). The paper under review investigates some properties of adjoints of ideals, in particular for generalized monomial ideals. A crucial property is the subadditivity of adjoints: \(\mathrm{adj}(IJ)\subseteq\mathrm{adj}(I)\mathrm{adj}(J)\). This was proved by different authors, in characteristic \(0\) by \textit{J.-P. Demailly, L. Ein} and \textit{R. Lazarsfeld} [Mich. Math. J. 48, Spec. Vol., 137--156 (2000; Zbl 1077.14516)] and for generalized test ideals in characteristic \(p\) by \textit{N. Hara} and \textit{Ken-ichi Yoshida} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 355, No.8, 3143--3174 (2003; Zbl 1028.13003)]. In the present work, the authors prove the subadditivity of adjoints for generalized monomial ideals and for ideals in two-dimensional regular domains. As a counterexample, the authors give an example of a \(d\)-dimensional regular local ring \((R,M)\), with \(d>2\), which shows that Rees valuations do not suffice in general to define the adjoint of an ideal. Let \(P\) be a prime ideal of \(R\) of height \(h\in\{2,\ldots,d-1\}\) generated by a regular sequence. Then the \(P\)-adic valuation \(v_P\) is the only Rees valuation of \(P\) and \(v_P\) does not define \(\mathrm{adj }(P^{h-1})\). In order to prove the subadditivity of adjoints, it is shown that the Rees valuations suffice for these two types of ideals. In particular, \[ \mathrm{adj }(I^n)=\cap_v\{r\in R\mid v(r)\geq v(I^n)-v(J_{R_v}/R)\}, \] where the intersection varies over all Rees valuations \(v\) of \(I\). As a consequence, the adjoint of a (general) monomial ideal is monomial. A similar proof shows that the integral closure of a (general) monomial ideal is also monomial.
