Review text

Let A be a (Noetherian) local ring of dimension \(d\geq 1\), having maximal ideal \({\mathfrak m}\). We say that Hochster's monomial conjecture [\textit{M. Hochster}, Nagoya Math. J. 51, 25-43 (1973; Zbl 0268.13004), conjecture 1] holds for the system of parameters (s.o.p.) \(x_ 1,...,x_ d\) for A if, for every integer \(n\geq 0\), we have \(x_ 1^ n...x_ d^ n\not\in Ax_ 1^{n+1}+...+Ax_ d^{n+1}.\) In Mathematika 29, 296-306 (1982; Zbl 0523.13001), the authors showed that the monomial conjecture can be formulated in terms of their generalized fractions introduced by them in Mathematika 29, 32-41 (1982; Zbl 0497.13006). - The paper under review uses this generalized fraction approach to the monomial conjecture and the fact that the local cohomology module \(H_{{\mathfrak m}}^{d-1}(A)\) is Artinian to prove among other things, the following result. Suppose that (d\(\geq 2\) and) the monomial conjecture is known to hold for all systems of parameters in all local rings of dimension d-1. Then there exists a positive integer s, depending only on \(H_{{\mathfrak m}}^{d-1}(A)\), such that, for each s.o.p. \(x_ 1,...,x_ d\) for A, the monomial conjecture holds for \(x_ 1^ s,x_ 2,...,x_ d\).
