Liaison of product varieties. (Q1415351)

Let \(R\) be a regular local ring, \(I\) an ideal of \(R\). \(I\) is called a tepli (TEnsor Product of LIcci) if it is in a linkage class of a transversal sum of licci ideals. A complete local ring \(A\) containing its residue field \(k\) is called tepli if there is a presentation \(A\simeq k[[X_1,\dots, X_n]]/I\), where \(I\) is a tepli ideal. The paper under review gives a thorough and technical study of tepli ideals and tepli algebras.
