Asymptotic associate primes (Q2001390)

Let \(I\) be a normal ideal. The authors investigate three cases regarding asymptotic associate primes. First, assume \((A, m)\) is an excellent Cohen-Macaulay (CM) non-regular local ring, and \(M=\mathrm{Syz}^A_1 (L)\) for some maximal CM \(A\)-module \(L\) which is free on the punctured spectrum. In this case, we examine when \( m \notin\mathrm{Ass}(M/InM)\) for all \(n\gg 0\). We give sufficient evidence to show that this occurs rarely. Next, assume that \((A, m)\) is excellent Gorenstein non-regular isolated singularity, and \(M\) is a CM \(A\)-module with projdim\(A(M)=\infty\) and \(\dim(M) = \dim(A)-1\). Let \(I\) be a normal ideal with analytic spread \(l(I)<\dim(A)\). In this case, we investigate when \(m\notin\mathrm{Ass Tor}^A_1(M, A/I^n)\) for all \(n\gg 0\). We give sufficient evidence to show that this also occurs rarely. Finally, suppose \(A\) is a local complete intersection ring. For finitely generated \(A\)-modules \(M\) and \(N\), we show that if \(\mathrm{Tor}^A_i(M, N) \neq 0\) for some \(i>\dim(A)\), then there exists a non-empty finite subset \(\mathbf{A}\) of \(\mathrm{Spec}(A)\) such that for every \(p \in\mathbf{A}\), at least one of the following holds true: (i) \(p\in\mathrm{Ass Tor}^A_{2i}(M, N)\) for all \(i\gg 0\); (ii) \(p \in\mathrm{Ass Tor}^A_{2i+1}(M, N)\) for all \(i\gg 0\). We also analyze the asymptotic behaviour of \(\mathrm{Tor}^A_i(M, A/I^n)\) for \(i, n\gg 0 \) in the case when \(I \) is principal or \(I\) has a principal reduction generated by a regular element.
